AUBURN, AL – The 2026 fall showcase schedule continued on Sunday, September 13th, as Prep Baseball Alabama traveled to Lee-Scott Academy in Auburn, AL for the Central Alabama Fall ID. Serving as the first Fall ID event of the schedule, the event featured prospects from across the state who participated in a full pro-style workout in front of the Prep Baseball Alabama staff with comprehensive data collected throughout the day.

Players in attendance went through laser-timed 60-yard dashes using VALD Performance gates, batting practice evaluations with TrackMan and Blast Motion technology, and defensive workouts at each position with arm strength metrics recorded. The event provided players an opportunity to update their profiles with verified data while giving our staff another look at prospects heading into the remainder of the fall.

Below, we take a closer look at the leaders from each stat category of the advanced data collected from the event.

VALD PERFORMANCE TESTING

60-YARD DASH

10-YARD SPLIT

Traditionally, the 60-yard dash has been the in-event standard to help measure a player's speed tool. While the measurement still has its utility, the 10-yard split has started to become more and more applicable in determining the player's burst and reaction time in-game, whether that's in the outfield or on the basepaths.

RSi JUMP (MAX)

VERTICAL JUMP (MAX)

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.

VIZUAL EDGE

EDGE SCORES

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.
