West Coast Super Sophomore Games: Data Dive

September 29, 2025
Prep Baseball
Staff

The Prep Baseball staff has wrapped up the inaugural West Coast Super Sophomore Games in Eugene, OR. A huge thank you goes out to the entire Oregon staff for their incredible hospitality throughout the weekend and for helping make this premier event possible.

The event kicked off Friday morning with a full pro-style workout, featuring VALD-timed 60-yard dashes with splits, TrackMan hitting data, BLAST Motion swing analysis, and positional evaluations with velocity measurements. From there, players were split into teams and competed in three action-packed games, where pitchers’ TrackMan metrics were captured live in game.

Today, we take a look at the top overall data recorded during the workout day on Friday, September 26th.

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.

The ability to develop force quickly is a requisite ability in most sports. The reactive strength index (RSI) has been developed as a measure of explosive strength and is derived by evaluating jump height divided by ground contact time during the depth jump.

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.

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.

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.
