OKC Preseason ID: Blast Board


Scott Hood
OK/MO/KS/ARK Assistant Scouting Director

In our first ever Oklahoma City Preseason ID we had 49 players from the 2026 class to a handful of 2023's coming from all over the state.  The event saw some guys make big jumps from where we've seen them in the past as well as got a few first looks at some prospects that will be definite follows in the coming years.  The event consisted of laser timed 30's, BP rounds with the Trackman and Blast Motion sensors, defensive evaluations with radar gun readings, and bullpens to round it out.  Today we take a look at the top leaders in swing metrics with the data collected by Blast Motion.  We cover the top bat speeds, hand speeds, rotational acceleration, and ability to match plane with the incoming pitch.
