HUNTSVILLE, AL – The 2026 fall showcase schedule continued on Sunday, October 4th, as Prep Baseball Alabama traveled to Huntsville High School in Huntsville, AL for the North Alabama Fall ID. Serving as the second 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 Blast Motion stat category collected from the event.

HAND SPEED (PEAK & AVERAGE)

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.

---

BAT SPEED (PEAK & 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 (PEAK & 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.
