Kenosha Preseason ID: Positional Data Dive


Josh Fields
Wisconsin Staff

On Saturday, Feb. 4th the PBR Wisconsin team hosted our first event of 2023, the Kenosha Preseason ID, at Puma Baseball Academy in Kenosha, Wis. This was an open event for all high school classes (2023-26) and gave our staff an ample look at the area's top players.

If you missed us in Kenosha, check out our showcase page to see when we’re in the neighborhood next.

On Tuesday, we published our biggest takeaways and highlights from Saturday’s showcase within our Quick Hits story. Yesterday, we took a quick look at the prosepcts who put up noteworthy numbers in more traditional statisitcal in the form of our Statistical Analysis. Today, we will dive even deeper into all of the data we collected, starting with this Positional Data Dive story.

Traditionally, the 60-yard dash has been the in-event standard to help measure a player's speed tool. While the measurement still has its utility, the 10-yard split has started to become more and more applicable in determining the player's burst and reaction time in-game, whether that's in the outfield or on the basepaths.

The ability to develop force quickly is a requisite ability in most sports. The reactive strength index (RSI) has been developed as a measure of explosive strength and is derived by evaluating jump height divided by ground contact time during the depth jump. Regarding vertical jumps and its application to baseball, there have been studies conducted that show a correlation between max jump height for an athlete and their ability to generate power and strength, especially on the mound.

1 Conner Foster WI Indian Trail 2024 LHP 24.7 mph

6 Cody Rakoncay IL Grayslake North 2024 RHP 22.6 mph
7 Aben Beinlich WI Burlington 2024 SS 22.0 mph

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.

BAT SPEED (AVG.)

Rank Name State School Class Pos Bat Speed (avg)
1 Aben Beinlich WI Burlington 2024 SS 72.6 mph
2 Marshall Loch WI Union Grove 2024 RHP 72.5 mph
3 Dylan Feldkamp IL Antioch 2024 RHP 72.3 mph
4 Jack Olson IL Antioch 2024 RHP 71.9 mph
5 Joseph Bline WI J.I. Case 2024 1B 71.7 mph
6 Kaleb Zabielski WI Burlington 2023 RHP 70.7 mph

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.)

Rank Name State School Class Pos Rot. Acc (avg)
1 Conner Foster WI Indian Trail 2024 LHP 30.8 g
2 Hayden Jamison WI Union Grove 2024 C 24.2 g
3 Marshall Loch WI Union Grove 2024 RHP 19.9 g
4 Landon Dessart WI Union Grove 2024 RHP 17.2 g

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

Rank Name State School Class Pos Edge Score
1 Christopher McMahon WI Tremper 2024 OF 84.78
2 Cody Rakoncay IL Grayslake North 2024 RHP 84.67
3 Killian Helt WI Union Grove 2025 C 83.56
4 Hayden Jamison WI Union Grove 2024 C 82.49
5 Brody Schulte WI Westosha Central 2025 RHP 80.13

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.
