Blast Leaderboard: 2021 Top Prospect Games

About Blast Motion:
One of the important tools Prep Baseball Report is starting to implement at its events is the use of Blast Motion sensors. During batting practice, the Blast Motion sensors measure Swing and Impact Metrics across several categories. Swing metrics measure pre-impact mechanics centered around plane, connection, and rotation while Impact metrics measure pre-impact performance outcomes based on ball contact. Below are the top performers in five of the categories measured using the Blast Motion sensors.
Bat Speed:
Bat Speed is the observed speed of the sweet spot of the bat at impact. For more info: Blast Bat Speed

| 10 | Austin Corbett | Horizon | 2021 | 70.8mph |
Peak Hand Speed:
Peak Hand Speed is 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. For more info: Peak Hand Speed
MLB Avg: 23-29 mph MiLB Avg: 22-28 mph College Avg: 21-24 mph
| Rank | Player | School | GRAD | Peak Hand Speed |

On Plane Efficiency:
Measures the percentage of your swing where the bat is on the swing plane. Your vertical bat angle at contact establishes the plane for that swing. Plane is a great indicator for making more consistent contact on the barrel of the bat. For more info: On Plane Efficiency
Ideal Efficiency %: 70% or Higher Range: 65%-85%
| Rank | Player | School | GRAD | On Plane % |
| 1 | Matthew Carter | Willow Canyon | 2021 | 94% |
| 2 | Marshall Williams | Sunnyslope | 2021 | 85% |
| 3 | Luke Thiele | Hamilton | 2021 | 83% |
| 4 | Jake Terry | Valley Christian | 2021 | 82% |
| 5 | Joshua Cortez | Westview | 2021 | 82% |
| 6 | Victor Londono | Salpointe Catholic | 2022 | 80% |
| 7 | Alex Cruz | Desert Ridge | 2021 | 80% |
| 8 | Jay Evans | Gilbert | 2021 | 79% |
| 9 | Brayan Espinoza | Nogales | 2021 | 77% |
| 10 | Alex Londono | Salpointe Catholic | 2021 | 76% |
Rotational Acceleration:
Measures how quickly your bat accelerates into the swing plane. Rotation is a good indicator of how you build bat speed by sequencing properly. The quicker your rotational acceleration, the more power you will have and the more time you have to adjust to pitch locations. For more info: Rotational Acceleration

Power:
The average Power generated during the swing is found from the effective mass of the bat, the Bat Speed at impact, and the average acceleration during the downswing. Power is measured in Watts. Higher Power is achieved when a hitter is able to swing a heavier bat and accelerate it to higher speeds. For more info: Power
