Team Missouri Junior Future Games: Data Dive


Eliott Wilk
Central Region Operations Director

On Thursday, July 23, Prep Baseball hosted the official 2026 Junior Future Games 14U Workout Day. The best uncommitted talent from the Class of 2030 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 Missouri 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 Ryker Graverson MO Liberty 2030 C 6.88 s
2 Nolan Bush MO Rock Bridge 2030 OF 7.14 s
3 Mateo Lopez MO Wellington-Napoleon 2030 OF 7.37 s
4 Sawyer Merris MO Christian Brothers College 2030 OF 7.39 s
5 Lincoln Rimkus MO Lindbergh 2030 RHP 7.46 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 MO Rockhurst 2030 RHP 22.3 mph
2 Nolan Bush MO Rock Bridge 2030 OF 22.1 mph
3 Mateo Lopez MO Wellington-Napoleon 2030 OF 21.2 mph
4 Sawyer Merris MO Christian Brothers College 2030 OF 21.0 mph
5 Ryker Graverson MO Liberty 2030 C 19.5 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 Nolan Bush MO Rock Bridge 2030 OF 71.1 mph
2 Bijan Kamerzell MO Rockhurst 2030 RHP 70.4 mph
3 Ben Calcaterra MO Lindbergh 2030 LHP 69.8 mph
4 Mateo Lopez MO Wellington-Napoleon 2030 OF 68.4 mph
5 Leo Guastello MO St. Pius X (KC) 2030 C 67.6 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 Sawyer Merris MO Christian Brothers College 2030 OF 23.3 g
2 Ryker Graverson MO Liberty 2030 C 9.0 g
3 Mateo Lopez MO Wellington-Napoleon 2030 OF 8.2 g
4 Max Corsale MO Webster Groves 2030 3B 8.1 g
5 Bijan Kamerzell MO Rockhurst 2030 RHP 8.0 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.

4 Leo Guastello MO St. Pius X (KC) 2030 C 73.05
5 Max Corsale MO Webster Groves 2030 3B 71.17

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.
