Data Dive: Wilmington Fall ID

Wilmington Fall ID – Event Rewind
The Wilmington Fall ID took place on Sunday, October 26, 2025, at UNC Wilmington’s Brooks Field, home of the Seahawks. The event brought together a talented group of players from across the region for a comprehensive day of evaluation in front of Prep Baseball’s scouting staff.
Players participated in a pro-style workout that included multiple rounds of batting practice, a defensive workout, and bullpens for pitchers. TrackMan technology was used throughout the day to capture ball flight data during both BP and bullpens, while BLAST Motion provided detailed pre-contact swing metrics for hitters.
Athletic testing, powered by VALD Performance, featured laser-timed 60-yard dashes with 10-yard and 30-yard splits, as well as jump testing that included RSI jumps and vertical measurements. In addition, players completed a series of body measurements to round out the full evaluation profile.
This blog series will spotlight the top performers and statistical leaders from the Wilmington Fall ID, offering an in-depth look at the athletes who stood out during testing and live evaluations.

VALD PERFORMANCE
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 timing gates at the 10-yard split and 30-yard split, 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.

MAX EXIT VELOCITY
HIGHEST AVG. EXIT VELOCITY
Exit Velocity: This metric measures the speed of the ball, measured in miles per hour, as it comes off the bat at the moment of impact.
MAX BATTED DISTANCE
HIGHEST SWEET SPOT%
Sweet Spot percentage: This metric is determined by how often the player produces a batted ball during the session with a launch angle between 8 to 32 degrees.
BLAST MOTION
HIGHEST AVG. HAND SPEED
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
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
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.
