Mississippi Top Prospect Underclass Showcase: Blast Motion Board


Prep Baseball Mississippi Staff

STARKVILLE, MS — The Mississippi Top Prospect Underclass Showcase was held on Saturday, October 11th at Mississippi State University that featured top talent from the 2028-2029 classes. Players went through a pro-style workout with TrackMan, while pitchers threw in a bullpen setting and were able to get data and metrics on our TrackMan unit.

Some prospects built on past showings, while others made strong first impressions.

We continue our post-event coverage with a look at the Blast Motion leaderboards from the event, with more breakdowns and full scouting reports coming soon.

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.
