2025 Junior Future Games Data Dive


RJ Elmore
Western Operations Director

On Thursday, July 24, Prep Baseball hosted the official 2025 Junior Future Games 14U Workout Day, powered by Pison Technology. The best uncommitted talent from the Class of 2029-2030 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 front of a sea of over 400 college coaches.

In this post, we’ll share with you the stat leaders from Team Nevada 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.

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.

The ability to develop force quickly is a requisite ability in most sports. The reactive strength index (RSI) has been developed as a measure of explosive strength and is derived by evaluating jump height divided by ground contact time during the depth jump.

13 Cannon Sheff NV Palo Verde 2029 1B 62.4 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)

5 Nolan Gifford NV Homeschool (Nv) 2029 SS 13.0 g
6 Gavin Newman NV Centennial High School 2029 3B 11.9 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.

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.

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.
