The past two weekends the PBR Arizona staff hosted a pair of Canes National ID's at Scottsdale Stadium in Scottsdale, Arizona, home of the San Francisco Giants Spring Training. The event featured over 70 prospects and featured a slew of talent from across the West Coast with attendance from Arizona, California Nevada, New Mexico and Florida.

Earlier this week, we published our Session 1 Quick Hits and Statistical Analysis articles, highlighting top players from this first weekend of the event. Today we'll continue our deep dive into the data collected at the event within this Positional Data Dive story, covering the top positional data via our tech partners TrackMan and Blast Motion.

SYNCRO ATHLETIC TESTING

60-YARD DASH

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)

BATTED BALL DISTANE (AVG)

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

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.

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.
