Southern Wisconsin Open: Data Dive


Kevin Cronin
Tech Analyst, Area Scout

On Oct. 15, the PBR Wisconsin staff hosted our last open event of the fall: the Southern Wisconsin Open, as it does each and every fall, at STiKS Academy in Waukesha, Wis., where nearly 60 prospects participated. This event was open for all high school classes and it continued to introduce us to names-to-know in the Badger State.

This week, we published our Quick Hits piece that contained the highlights from the event. Today, we're going to continue breaking down the takeaways from the event by diving deeper into all of the data we collected at the showcase in the form of our Data Dive.

Peak Hand Speed: The observed maximum 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.

5 Brandon Morrissey WI Beaver Dam 2025 OF 70.3 mph

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.

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.

4 Jack Stuck WI Nicolet 2025 2B 84 %

On Plane Efficiency: Measures the percentage of your swing where the bat is on the swing plane. Your vertical bat angle at contact establishes the plane for that swing. Plane is a great indicator for making more consistent contact on the barrel of the bat. 

VIZUAL EDGE

9 Leo Weist WI Union Grove 2025 2B 81.37
10 Colton Holmes IL Warren Township High School 2025 C 81.26

The Edge Score is a comprehensive score out of 100 that takes the core-six visual skills into account, providing athletes, parents, coaches and scouts with a benchmark number for assessing an athlete’s overall visual ability. In general the higher the Edge Score, the higher chance of athletic success. Think of the Edge Score as the 'Sixth Metric' in the standard Five-Tools that make up a ball player.

The average Edge Score for the 2020 MLB Draft Class was 79.3 (of hitters who completed a Vizual Edge test). MLB players we've worked with typically show stronger scores, with elite hitters scoring consistently above 87.0 on their Edge Score.
