2026 Seattle Fall ID - Positional Data Dive


Dylan Grenz
Assistant Scouting Director

This Saturday, Prep Baseball Washington hosted the Seattle Fall ID at Eastlake High School in Sammamish, Washington. Prep Baseball staff evaluated players in the 2027-2030 grad classes, with several strong performances seen throughout. 

Prep Baseball fall events serve as an indicator for scouts and recruiters heading into the next calendar year. The fall presents a unique time where players are in a rhythm from playing consistent baseball throughout the spring and summer. Standout performances can lead to invites to some of Prep Baseball's top events in 2027, including PNW Preseason All-State, Future Games, and PNW State Games.

Earlier, we unveiled our Quick Hits, looking at leaders in major stat categories from the event, and our Statistical Analysis, highlighting leaders in major stat categories. Today, we release our Positional Data Dive, looking specifically at top performers in position player data. Stay tuned the rest of this week for complete post-event coverage.

TRACKMAN

EXIT VELOCITY (MAX)

EXIT VELOCITY (AVG.)

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 contact.

BATTED BALL DISTANCE (MAX)

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

PEAK HAND SPEED (AVG.)

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.

PEAK BAT SPEED (AVG.)

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 (AVG.)

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.

VIZUAL EDGE

EDGE SCORE

The Edge Score is a comprehensive score out of 100 that takes the core-six visual skills into account, providing athletes, parents, coaches and scouts with a benchmark number for assessing an athlete’s overall visual ability. In general the higher the Edge Score, the higher chance of athletic success. Think of the Edge Score as the 'Sixth Metric' in the standard Five-Tools that make up a ball player.

The average Edge Score for the 2020 MLB Draft Class was 79.3 (of hitters who completed a Vizual Edge test). MLB players we've worked with typically show stronger scores, with elite hitters scoring consistently above 87.0 on their Edge Score.
