2027's Stats Analysis: Las Vegas Top Prospect Games


RJ Elmore
Mountain West Operations Director

LAS VEGAS, NV - The Las Vegas Top Prospect Games has officially wrapped up, bringing together more than 140 prospects from the 2027, 2028, and 2029 graduating classes. The event gave players a chance to update their Prep Baseball profiles, compete alongside some of the top players in the state, earn invitations to future premier events, and continue gaining exposure through the Prep Baseball platform.

The event featured a full evaluation including laser-timed 60-yard dash testing, offensive and defensive workouts, and data collection through TrackMan, Blast Motion, and Vizual Edge. Pitchers threw live innings against hitters, showcasing their stuff in a game environment while generating valuable metrics. Hitters took those workout numbers into live at-bats, showing how their tools and offensive abilities held up against quality pitching.

Players were evaluated by Prep Baseball's scouting staff throughout the day, with standout performances coming in both the workout and live game portions.

BELOW IS A LOOK AT THE TOP STATISTICAL PERFORMERS FROM THE 2027 CLASS AT THE EVENT.

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 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.
