Top Prospect Games: Underclass – Event Rewind

The Top Prospect Games: Underclass returned to McCrary Park in Asheboro, NC, on Saturday, October 18, 2025, showcasing many of the state’s top 2028 and 2029 graduates. This invite-only event brought together some of North Carolina’s most promising young talents for a full day of evaluation and competition in front of Prep Baseball’s scouting staff.

Players participated in a pro-style workout, featuring both offensive and defensive evaluations. Athletic testing, powered by VALD Performance, provided verified data on laser-timed 60-yard dashes, jump analytics, and other key athletic measures. During multiple rounds of batting practice, TrackMan tracked detailed ball flight data, offering insight into each hitter’s power and consistency.

Following the workout, players competed in a controlled scrimmage, giving pitchers and position players the opportunity to perform in live-game situations.

The Top Prospect Games serve as a key identifier for Prep Baseball’s regional and national events, including the NC/SC Border Battle and the Tobacco Road Games, both of which feature top talent from across the region.

As we look back at the event, we’ll break down the top performers, statistical leaders, and emerging prospects who could make a big impact as the recruiting calendar shifts toward their graduating classes.

Traditionally, the 60-yard dash has been the in-event standard to help measure a player's speed tool. We implemented timing gates at the 10-yard split, 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.

TRACKMAN HITTING

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.

BLAST MOTION

HIGHEST AVG. HAND SPEED

Hand Speed: The observed 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.

HIGHEST AVG. BAT SPEED

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.

HIGHEST AVG. ROTATIONAL ACCELERATION

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.
