Kenosha Preseason ID: Positional Player Data Dive
February 8, 2024
On Feb. 3rd, the Prep Baseball Wisconsin staff hosted the Kenosha Preseason ID at Puma Baseball Academy in Kenosha, WI. Around 30 players participated in a pro-style workout, gathering unrivaled access to data through our state-of-the-art tech partners, as well as in-depth scouting analysis from our Prep Baseball Wisconsin staff.
Yesterday, we looked at the top measurable data performers from the event, found in our Statistical Analysis, where we broke down the stat leaders from the more traditional categories. Today, we will take a further in-depth look at the top positional prospects with the help from our tech partnerships, broken down by the categories down below:

BLAST
With the help of our Blast Motion sensors, we're analyzing the swing metrics measured at this open showcase.
HAND SPEED (AVERAGE)
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Hand Speed (avg) |
1 | Aison Jorgenson | WI | Verona Area | 2024 | OF | 21.8 mph |

5 | Benjamin Smet-Cooper | WI | Westosha Central | 2028 | 3B | 20.7 mph |
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.
BAT SPEED (AVERAGE)
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Bat Speed (avg) |
1 | Reid Hietpas | WI | Xavier | 2024 | 3B | 71.2 mph |

4 | Wyatt Hood | WI | St. Joesph | 2025 | 1B | 68.6 mph |
5 | Alexander Smith | WI | Indian Trail | 2025 | OF | 68.0 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.
ROTATIONAL ACCELERATION (AVERAGE)
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Rot. Acc (avg) |
1 | Jonah Kopischke | WI | New Berlin West | 2025 | OF | 24.9 g |
2 | Drake DeWildt | WI | Indian Trail High School and Academy | 2025 | SS | 17.9 g |
3 | Jacob Wineman | IL | New Trier | 2026 | RHP | 16.0 g |
4 | Travis Rupert | WI | Union Grove | 2027 | OF | 15.7 g |
5 | Brady Santori | WI | Waterford Union | 2026 | 2B | 14.6 g |
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.

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.
