LA State Games - Blast Leaderboard
October 4, 2022
The PBR Louisiana staff had a good feeling about what we were going to see at this past Sunday's State Games. From uncommitted seniors looking to find a home, to rising freshman trying to make a good first impression; there was talent all over Turchin Stadium on Sunday and talent from every single class.
Today we look at the leaderboards based on data collected by our Blast Motion Sensors.

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.
