Last Saturday, Prep Baseball PNW sent some of the top 2029 players in Washington and Oregon to the West Coast Super Sophomore Games, held at the University of Oregon, Bushnell University and Lane Community College. Over 200 players from across the western part of the United States were in attendance at this premier class of 2029-exclusive event.

The 2026 West Coast Super Sophomore Games brought many of the top 2029 prospects from across the region to Eugene for a complete showcase workout and three games against high-level competition. Position players completed TrackMan hitting evaluations, Blast Motion swing analysis, VALD Performance testing and defensive evaluations. The event provided an updated look at the athleticism, offensive tools and defensive ability throughout the class.

Earlier, we unveiled our Quick Hits, detailing scouting notes on standout performers from the PNW, and our Statistical Analysis, focusing on PNW leaders in major statistical categories. Today, we release our Positional Data Dive, focusing specifically on leaders in position player data. Stay tuned the remainder of this week for all Super Sophomore Games content.

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.
