2020 Preseason All-State Underclass - Blast Metrics
Prep Baseball Report and Blast Motion, the leader in swing analysis, player development and improvement, announced a partnership last month that makes Blast the Official Swing Analysis Technology of Prep Baseball Report.
Blast Motion is a bat sensor that is placed on the knob of the bat and analyzes the swing, providing multiple metrics for every swing taken. Blast captures the data by the sensor picking up the vibration of the bat at impact when the hitter makes contact with the baseball. If there's no contact, the sensor won't read the swing.
Bat Speed
Bat Speed – is 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.
| Name | Bat Speed |
| Cameron Gilkerson |
76.6 |
| Nik Coperhaver |
73.8 |
| Colton Hartman |
72.0 |
| Pierce Bauerle |
71.6 |
| Samuel Slodic |
71.2 |
| Cole Pauley | 71.2 |
Rotational Acceleration
Rotational Acceleration – Rotational Acceleration measures how quickly your bat accelerates into the swing plane. Rotational Acceleration is a good indicator of how you build bat speed by sequencing properly vs. pulling the bat with your hands. The quicker your rotational acceleration, the more power you will have and the more time you have to make a decision at the plate.
| Name | Rotational Acceleration |
| Jared Teke |
28.1 |
| Kanyon Gagich |
22.5 |
| Cole Pauley |
20.7 |
| Will Harding |
20.4 |
| Trey Lake |
19.9 |
On Plane Efficiency
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 of making consistent contact and barreling balls.
| Name | On Plane Efficiency % |
| Kanyon Gagich |

| Alex Boles |

| Zade Fusselman |

| Jacob Masterson |

| Trey Lake |

Attack Angle
Attack Angle – is the angle of the bat’s path, at impact, relative to horizontal. A positive value indicates swinging up, and a negative value indicates swinging down, where zero is perfectly level.
| Name | Attack Angle (deg) |

Early Connection
Early Connection – Early Connection measures the relationship between your body tilt and vertical bat angle at the start of the downswing. Establishing good connection (90 degrees) early in the swing helps you get on plane and increases your ability to adjust to all pitch locations.
| Name | Early Connection (deg) |
| Blake Bowen |
130 |
| Austin Sizemore |
124 |
| Matthew Graveline |
123 |
| Quinn Benner |
123 |
| Connor Walendzak |

Connection At Impact
Connection at Impact – Connection at impact measures the relationship between your body tilt and vertical bat angle at impact. Maintaining good connection (90 degrees) for all pitch locations is an indicator of dynamic adjustability.
| Name | Connection At Impact (deg) |
| Blake Bowen |
103 |
| Connor Walendzak | 102 |
| Matthew Graveline | 100 |
| Quinn Benner | 98 |
| Austin Sizemore | 97 |
