Data Dive: West Valley Summer ID


RJ Elmore
Mountain West Operations Director

The West Valley Summer ID took place at Canyon View High School as part of our 2026 Summer ID schedule, featuring prospects from the 2027–2029 classes. A big thank you to the Canyon View staff for hosting and helping run the event.

The event gave players the chance to update their Prep Baseball profiles through a full pro-style workout, including batting practice, defensive evaluations, and advanced data collection.

Position players went through TrackMan hitting, BLAST Motion swing metrics, VALD 60-yard sprint testing with splits, and defensive workouts. Pitchers threw bullpens with velocity, spin rate, movement profiles, and other pitch data collected throughout the session.

We continue our post-event coverage with a look at the top statistical performers from each category recorded during the event.

TRACKMAN

MAX FASTBALL VELOCITY

MAX EXIT VELOCITY

HIGHEST AVG. EXIT VELOCITY

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 impact.

MAX BATTED DISTANCE

HIGHEST 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.

HIGHEST LINE DRIVE%

Line Drive percentageThis metric is determined by how often the player produces a batted ball during the session with a launch angle between 10 to 25 degrees.


VALD PERFORMANCE

TOP 60-YARD DASH

Traditionally, the 60-yard dash has been the in-event standard to help measure a player’s speed tool. We implemented three timing gates at the 10- and 30-yard splits, to capture athletes’ quickness, explosiveness and reaction time. From there, we will calculate an athlete’s top-end speed in miles per hour. 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.
