Central Super Sophomore Games: Data Dive
August 6, 2025
On Saturday, August 2, Prep Baseball hosted the official 2025 Central Super Sophomore Games Workout Day. The region's top uncommitted talent from the Class of 2028 all met at Homefield Baseball Complex in Kansas City, Kan., on this day to ignite the start of this special event, as position players were guided through this pro-style workout in front of a sea of college coaches.
In this post, we’ll share with you the stat leaders from across the country following Thursday's workout – leaderboards precisely collected by our state-of-the-art tech partners at TrackMan, Blast Motion, VALD Performance, and Vizual Edge.
2025 CENTRAL SUPER SOPHOMORE GAMES:
+ Team Rosters
+ All Workout Day Stats
Here’s a look at the position players who recorded some of the most impressive metrics across these many stat categories.
VALD PERFORMANCE
TOP 60-YARD DASH
TOP 30-YARD SPLIT
TOP 10-YARD SPLIT
MAX VERTICAL JUMP
PEAK RSI
The ability to develop force quickly is a requisite ability in most sports. The reactive strength index (RSI) has been developed as a measure of explosive strength and is derived by evaluating jump height divided by ground contact time during the depth jump.
TRACKMAN HITTING
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.

TOP CATCHER VELOCITY
TOP POP TIMES
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. Think of the Edge Score as the 'Sixth Metric' in the standard five tools that make up a ball player.
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.
