Prep Baseball opened up the summer of 2025 evaluation season with multiple events at USA Baseball's National Training Center on Tuesday May 13th.  Two scout days combined with a Summer ID to bring 20 players, ranging from the 2026 - 2028 graduating classes.  Players were run through a full pro-style workout with Prep Baseball Scouts recording stats, metrics, and evaluating the players throughout the evening.

The workout began with a laser timed 60 yard dash.  10 yard and 30 yard splits were recorded using the VALD laser timing system as well.  Hitters then went through multiple rounds of BP with TrackMan capturing ball flight data off the bat.  Defensive workouts followed with each player working out at their defensive position, showcasing movement, arm path, release, carry and accuracy.  The day finished with pitchers throwing bullpens where TrackMan was again recording the ball flight data out of the hand.

The Marucci Warriors and Orange County Crushers each brought players from their organization for the Scout Day.  Scout Days allow for organizations to setup a workout for their players, giving them verified metrics and professionally edited video to host on their Prep Baseball player profile.  The Team Carolina Summer ID provided an opportunity for high school players to update their Prep Baseball profiles as well.  Players evaluated are eligible for selection to Team Carolina events which include the NC/SC Border Battle, Future Games, Sr. Future Games, Jr. Future Games, Super Sophomore Games and the Top Prospect Games.

Max Exit Velocity

Best Average Exit Velocity

DISTANCE OFF THE BAT

TrackMan is able to measure and track the ball while in the air.  For every fair ball put in play it will display the distance the hit traveled.

Peak Distance - Best of the Hitter’s Session

Average Distance - Average of each ball tracked in the Session

SWEET SPOT PERCENTAGE

TrackMan is able to track and follow how hard the ball is hit as well as the angle off the bat. With this information, TrackMan has deduced the Sweet Spot as batted balls hit with a launch angle of 8 - 32 degrees.

LAUNCH ANGLE PERCENTAGE

Based on the ball flight, TrackMan is able to identify each hit as a ground ball, line drive, or fly ball.  While there are many factors as to why a hitter may approach each pitch in a certain way, the overall groupings of BP can give some insight to each hitter's approach.
