Mesa Fall ID: Stats Analysis
October 27, 2025
On Sunday, October 26th, the Prep Baseball Arizona staff hosted the Mesa Fall ID at Chandler-Gilbert CC, featuring around 28 prospects from across the state.
Each participant received a Prep Baseball profile update that included a headshot, video, showcase statistics, and advanced data analysis. With player profiles viewed by over 900 college programs nationwide, the event provided meaningful exposure while also serving as an important evaluation opportunity ahead of the offseason.
Players went through a complete pro-style workout, which included laser-timed 60-yard dashes (with splits) tracked by VALD, TrackMan-verified hitting and pitching metrics, BLAST Motion swing analysis, positional evaluations with velocity readings, and more.
Our post-event coverage from the Mesa Fall ID continues with a look at the top overall data recorded on Sunday.

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.
PEAK VERTICAL JUMP
TRACKMAN
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.
BLAST MOTION
HIGHEST AVG. HAND SPEED
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.
HIGHEST AVG. BAT SPEED
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.
HIGHEST AVG. ROTATIONAL ACCELERATION
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.
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.
