Team Kansas Junior Future Games: Data Dive


Eliott Wilk
Central Region Operations Director

On Thursday, July 24, Prep Baseball hosted the official 2025 Junior Future Games 14U Workout Day, powered by Pison Technology. The best uncommitted talent from the Class of 2029 all met at LakePoint Sports on this day to ignite the start of this special event, as position players were guided through this pro-style workout.

In this post, we’ll share with you the stat leaders from Team Kansas following Thursday's workout, leaderboards precisely collected by our state-of-the-art tech partners at TrackMan, Blast Motion, VALD Performance, and Vizual Edge.

Here’s a look at our team’s position players who recorded some of the most impressive metrics across these many stat categories.


VALD PERFORMANCE

TOP 60-YARD DASH

Rank Name State School Class Pos 60-yd
1 Braiden Cross KS Blue Valley West 2029 OF 6.90 s
2 Jace Kennedy KS Maize 2029 OF 7.25 s
3 Max Gordon KS Blue Valley North 2029 2B 7.28 s
4 Easton Vesey KS Gardner-Edgerton 2029 SS 7.29 s
5 Lucas Stueve KS Frankfort 2029 C 7.34 s

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.

BLAST MOTION

HIGHEST AVG. HAND SPEED

Rank Name State School Class Pos Hand Speed (avg)
1 Bijan Kamerzell KS Undecided 2030 RHP 21.6 mph
2 Lorin Sapp KS St. Thomas Aquinas 2030 OF 21.3 mph
3 Jace Kennedy KS Maize 2029 OF 21.2 mph
4 Braiden Cross KS Blue Valley West 2029 OF 20.1 mph
5 Landon Alderson KS Mill Valley 2029 1B 19.9 mph

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 AVG. BAT SPEED

Rank Name State School Class Pos Bat Speed (avg)
1 Jace Kennedy KS Maize 2029 OF 69.3 mph
2 Landon Alderson KS Mill Valley 2029 1B 68.8 mph
3 Easton Vesey KS Gardner-Edgerton 2029 SS 68.5 mph
4 Teddy Lubin KS Shawnee Mission East 2029 C 68.2 mph
5 Garrett Nimz KS Olathe East 2029 SS 67.8 mph

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 AVG. ROTATIONAL ACCELERATION

Rank Name State School Class Pos Rot. Acc (avg)
1 Teddy Lubin KS Shawnee Mission East 2029 C 13.9 g
2 Lorin Sapp KS St. Thomas Aquinas 2030 OF 12.9 g
3 Jace Kennedy KS Maize 2029 OF 11.6 g
4 Bijan Kamerzell KS Undecided 2030 RHP 11.1 g
5 Max Gordon KS Blue Valley North 2029 2B 10.7 g

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.

3 Landon Alderson KS Mill Valley 2029 1B 75.73
4 Bijan Kamerzell KS Undecided 2030 RHP 75.01
5 Logan Hepner KS Ottawa 2029 LHP 73.00

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. Think of the Edge Score as the 'Sixth Metric' in the standard five tools that make up a ball player.

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.
