On Saturday, November 30th, Prep Baseball Washington hosted the Prospect U Scout Day at Big League Edge in Kent, Washington. Prep Baseball scouts saw high school aged athletes in the 2025-2028 graduating classes, with several strong showings throughout the event.

Scout Day events serve a variety of purposes in the baseball showcase landscape. Scout Days offer Prep Baseball staff first looks at underclassman and repeat looks at juniors and seniors, helping shape follow lists for high school coverage in the spring. Top performances can also lend invites to some of 2025's top events, such as Preseason All-State, PNW State Games, and more. Athletes in attendance can obtain video from the event to send to college recruiters, and have statisitcal data recorded by Prep Baseball's state of the art technology partners. Scout Day looks also help shape Washington State Player Rankings, updated multiple times each year.

Earlier, Prep Baseball released our Statistical Analysis from the Prospect U Scout Day, highlighting leaders in major stat categories. Today, we unveil our Positional Data Dive, looking deeper at leaders in offensive metrics. Stay tuned this week for more post-event content.

TRACKMAN

EXIT VELOCITY (MAX)

EXIT VELOCITY (AVG.)

Exit Velocity: This metric measures the speed of the ball, measured in miles per hour, as it comes off the bat at the moment of contact.

BATTED BALL DISTANCE (MAX)

SWEET SPOT%

Sweet Spot percentage: This metric is determined by how often the player produces a batted ball during the session with a launch angle between 8 to 32 degrees.

BLAST MOTION

PEAK HAND SPEED (AVG.)

Hand Speed: The observed speed as measured on the handle of the bat (measured six inches from the knob of the bat). Peak Hand Speed will occur prior to the moment of impact, very close to the commit time in the swing when the wrists unhinge.

PEAK BAT SPEED (AVG.)

Bat Speed: The observed speed of the sweet spot of the bat at impact. The sweet spot of the bat is measured six inches from the tip of the bat.

ROTATIONAL ACCELERATION (AVG.)

Body Rotation: A swing that has the appropriate relative contributions of body and bat rotations is an efficient and Powerful swing that maintains proper sequencing. An efficient baseball swing is one in which the body creates the initial movements, which is then transferred to the arms and out to the bat, thereby maximizing Bat Speed through this proximal-to-distal kinematic sequencing movement pattern.
