Data Dive: East Valley Summer ID (Session 2)
July 9, 2026
The East Valley Summer ID took place on July 7 at Desert Ridge High School as part of our 2026 Summer ID schedule, featuring prospects from the 2027–2029 classes. A big thank you to the Desert Ridge High School staff for hosting the event.
The event gave players the chance to update their Prep Baseball profiles through a full pro-style workout, including batting practice, defensive evaluations, and advanced data collection.
Position players went through TrackMan hitting, BLAST Motion swing metrics, VALD 60-yard sprint testing with splits, and defensive workouts. Pitchers threw bullpens with velocity, spin rate, movement profiles, and other pitch data collected throughout the session.
We continue our post-event coverage with a look at the top statistical performers from each category recorded during the event.

TRACKMAN
MAX FASTBALL VELOCITY
MAX EXIT VELOCITY
HIGHEST AVG. EXIT VELOCITY
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 impact.
MAX BATTED DISTANCE
HIGHEST 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.
HIGHEST LINE DRIVE%
Line Drive percentage: This metric is determined by how often the player produces a batted ball during the session with a launch angle between 10 to 25 degrees.
VALD PERFORMANCE
TOP 60-YARD DASH
Traditionally, the 60-yard dash has been the in-event standard to help measure a player’s speed tool. We implemented three timing gates at the 10- and 30-yard splits, to capture athletes’ quickness, explosiveness and reaction time. From there, we will calculate an athlete’s top-end speed in miles per hour. 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.
