Top Prospect Games: Blast Board
July 18, 2022
Our PBR Utah Staff continues to display data from our Top Prospect Games event that was held at Pleasant Grove High School in Pleasant Grove, UT on July 12th. Today we take a glance at the players who topped our leaderboards using our Blast Motion technology during their round of batting practice.
HAND SPEED (PEAK & AVERAGE)
Peak Hand Speed: The observed maximum 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.
BAT SPEED (max & AVERAGE)
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.
ROTATIONAL ACCELERATION (PEAK & AVERAGE)
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.
ON PLANCE EFFICIENCY
(MAX & AVERAGE)
On-Plane Efficiency is how consistently a player maintains their arm and wrist throughout the swing, or the percentage of the swing where the bat is on-plane. The score shows you where you fall within your skill level, so both of them matter.
