At The Yard Podcast: New Episode LIVE now!

This past Tuesday, July 1st, the Prep Baseball California team hosted the Bay Area Summer ID at Islanders Field in Lathrop, Cal. This was an open event for high school classes (2026-2029), and gave our staff an ample look at the area's top prospects.

21 players made their way to Islanders Field and participated in a pro-style workout, gathering unrivaled access to data through our state-of-the-art tech partners, as well as in-depth scouting analysis from our Prep Baseball California staff.

Today, we will be looking at the top measurable data performers from the event, found below.

VALD

60-YARD

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 yards, to capture athletes’ quickness, explosiveness and reaction time. From there, we will calculate an athlete’s top-end speed in miles per hour. 

TRACKMAN

We'll continue to roll out the data we gathered from this event, starting with the analytics we have at our disposal from our TrackMan units. Below we'll look at which players had noteworthy batted ball and pitch data.

EXIT VELOCITY (MAX)

EXIT VELOCITY (AVERAGE)

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 (MAX)

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.
