The Idaho Top Prospect Games took place at the College of Southern Idaho, bringing together some of the top prospects in the state for one of our premier events of the summer. The invite-only event featured players from the 2027 and 2029 classes competing in front of Prep Baseball staff while updating their profiles ahead of the upcoming recruiting periods.

Players went through a full pro-style workout that included batting practice with TrackMan and Blast Motion data, defensive evaluations, and laser timed 60-yard dashes powered by VALD Performance. Pitchers competed in a live game setting with TrackMan capturing advanced pitch data throughout gameplay. Several players turned in standout performances across the event.

Today, we take a look at the top overall metrics recorded at the Idaho Top Prospect Games.

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.

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.

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.
