The Oahu Open ID took place on Wednesday, October 8th at the Pearl City High School. This event will feature a collection of promising prospects from Hawaii's 2026–2030 graduating classes, each aiming to display the progress they have made over the course of the busy summer schedule.

This event allowed our staff to evaluate prospects before the winter offseason. The event served as an identifier for future invite-only events such as the West Coast Games, State Games, Super Sophomore Games, Future Games, and more.

All highlights from the Oahu Open ID will be promoted on PrepBaseball.com. Prep Baseball is subscribed to by nearly 1000 colleges and pro scouts across the country. All results will be posted on the site; along with players’ highlights.

We now take a closer look at the BLAST Motion swing analysis data recorded during the Oahu ID.

BLAST MOTION

HIGHEST PEAK HAND SPEED

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 PEAK BAT SPEED

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 PEAK ROTATIONAL ACCELERATION

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.
