With our 2025 event calendar on the horizon, our staff has dedicated some time to reflect on the top statistical performers that we saw at our events in 2024. We'll be shining some light on Illinois natives who put up loud numbers in 2024, showcasing their tools to our staff at Prep Baseball Illinois events.

These leaderboards were compiled solely based on numbers at our state events, including Super 60, Preseason IDs, All-States, Open events, Scout Days, Future Games, and the All-American Game, too.

TOP AVERAGE ON-PLAN EFFICIENCY

On-Plane Efficiency %: measures the percentage of your swing where the bat is on the swing plane. Your Vertical Bat Angle (VBA) at contact establishes the plane for that specific swing. A high % is a great indicator of making consistent contact and barreling balls. Blast recommends an average of 70% or higher, with a range in the 65% to 85%. Per Blast Connect
