November 12, 2025
RJ Elmore
Western Operations Director

Albuquerque, New Mexico – On November 8-9 2025, the Prep Baseball staff hosted the New Mexico Top Prospect Games, featuring 70 players from throuhgout the Land of Enchantment. Held at Rio Rancho High School, the event included a full pro-style workout with a laser-timed 60 yard dash using VALD Performance, defensive evaluations, and batting practice tracked by TrackMan. Following the workout, pitchers were evaluated during live gameplay with TrackMan capturing all pitch data and metrics.

We now take a look at the top statistical performances in our Stats Analysis article.

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.

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.
