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.

ATHLETIC TESTING & MEASUREMENTS - Wilmington Fall ID

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, 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.

TOP 30-YARD SPLIT

PEAK VERTICAL JUMP

MAX RSI JUMP

Simply put: RSI-modified (reactive strength index) is a ratio of input to output – the input is represented by time spent on the ground generating the force to jump, and the output is the height of that jump.


MAX GRIP STRENGTH

Right Hand Grip

Left Hand Grip
