Data Dive: Hawaii Rising Stars Games
June 25, 2026
PEARL CITY HS - The Hawaii Rising Stars Games was held on Friday, June 5th and Saturday, June 6th at Pearl City High School. The event featured prospects from the 2030-2031 classes, each looking to make a statement early in their high school careers.
Participants took part in a full showcase workout that included batting practice tracked by TrackMan and Blast Motion, 60-yard dash testing powered by VALD Performance, and a complete defensive evaluation. Pitchers competed in live game action, capturing advanced metrics via our TrackMan unit such as pitch velocity, spin rate, and horizontal and vertical movement.
The event featured a strong group of young talent, with several players showing advanced tools for their age while continuing to build their Prep Baseball profiles.

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.
