Prep Baseball Wisconsin Preseason ID: All-Time Leaderboard


Kevin Cronin
Illinois & Wisconsin Data Coordinator, Area Scout

The Prep Baseball Wisconsin team is two weeks away from the first Preseason ID of 2025 and we are taking a look at our past Preseason IDs since 2021. Our Preseason IDs are a great way for athletes to get in front of our scouts ahead of their high school season, as well as continue to grow their recruiting resumes. 

With this story, we are taking a look back at some of the top performers, broken down by position players and pitchers. 

In-depth Breakdown

  • 23 runners ran a 6.70 or better 60-yard dash while eight runners ran a 6.60 or better.
  • 17 pitchers had a max fastball velocity over 91.0 mph with six players recording over 92.0 mph per Trackman.
  • 15 batters had a max exit velocity over 100.0 mph with three reaching over 105.0 mph per Trackman.
  • 23 batters had a max distance over 370 ft and two batters had a max over 400 ft per Trackman.
  • 22 batters recorded a max bat speed over 26.5 mph and nine batters had a max over 28.0 mph per Blast.
  • 18 batters recorded a max bat speed over 83.0 mph and nine batters had a max over 85.0 mph per Blast.

MAX FASTBALL VELOCITY & AVERAGE SPIN RATE

Max Fastball Velocity: This metric calculates the speed of the pitch as it’s released from the pitcher’s hand.

Spin Rate: This metric calculates the rate of spin on the baseball as it leaves the pitcher’s hand, measured in revolutions per minute (rpm). Historical data shows that high-spin fastballs lessen the impact of gravity, allowing for more ‘rise’ (or less fall, in other words) as it carries through the zone. Low-spin fastballs typically indicate the pitch has greater horizontal action, often making it tougher to square up, but generally easier to make contact with, leading to more ground balls, while high-spin fastballs show a correlation with swings and misses.

AVERAGE FASTBALL HORIZONTAL MOVEMENT

Horizontal Break: Outlined on TrackMan’s own website: “... horizontal movement is measured in inches between where the pitch actually crosses the front of home plate side-wise, and where it would have crossed home plate side-wise if had it traveled in a perfectly straight line from release. A positive number means the break was to the right from the pitcher’s perspective, while a negative number means the break was to the left from the pitcher’s perspective.”

HAND SPEED PEAK 

HAND SPEED AVERAGE 

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 PEAK

BAT SPEED AVERAGE 

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)

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.

ON-PLANE EFFICIENCY %

On-Plane Efficiency %:measures the percentage of your swing where the bat is on the swing plane. Your Vertical Bat Angle (VBA) at contact establishes the plane for that specific swing. A high % is a great indicator of making consistent contact and barreling balls. Blast recommends an average of 70% or higher, with a range in the 65% to 85%.
