Data Dive: Hawaii State Games

Mountain West Operations Director

PEARL CITY HS - The Hawaii State Games was held on Saturday, June 6th and Sunday, June 7th at Pearl City High School. The event featured top prospects from the 2027-2029 classes, each looking to make a statement during the summer season.

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 mix of familiar standouts continuing to build on previous performances, along with several new names who emerged with eye-opening showings.

We continue our coverage of the Hawaii State Games with a look at the top overall performances from the event. To view the full event leaderboards, view our EVENT NEWS page, or use the link below.

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.

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.

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.
