Riot Baseball Scout Day: Data Dive
October 14, 2025
Youngker, AZ – Last week, Prep Baseball Arizona hosted the Riot Basebal Scout Day, featuring 15 prospects from the Riot program. The event gave players the opportunity to update their key metrics before heading into the upcoming season.
The workout featured VALD-timed 60-yard dashes with splits, TrackMan-verified batting practice, positional evals with velocities, and TrackMan Pitching metrics for Pitcher's bullpens.
Our Post-Event Coverage from the Riot Scout Day begins with a breakdown of the top overall data recorded on Tuesday. Stay tuned to our website and social media channels in the coming days for continued coverage.
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.
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.
