Data Dive: Reno Top Prospect Games
June 17, 2026
RENO, NV - The Reno Top Prospect Games has officially wrapped up, bringing together 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 talent in Northern Nevada, 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 competed in live innings against hitters, allowing our staff to see how their stuff played in a game setting while collecting valuable metrics. Hitters carried their workout numbers into live at-bats, showing how their tools translated against quality arms.
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 SOME OF THE TOP STATISTICAL PERFORMERS FROM THE EVENT.
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 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.

MAX FASTBALL VELOCITY
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.

VIZUAL EDGE
EDGE SCORE
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.
