Las Vegas Fall ID: Statistical Analysis


RJ Elmore
Western Operations Director

The Las Vegas Fall ID took place on Sunday, October 26th at Centennial High School, bringing together prospects from Nevada’s 2026–2030 graduating classes. The event gave players the chance to showcase their development following a busy summer and fall schedule.

The Vegas Fall ID allowed our staff to evaluate players ahead of the winter offseason and served as an identifier for future invite-only events such as the West Coast Games, Top Prospect Games, Future Games, and more.

All event coverage and highlights will be posted on PrepBaseball.com, which is accessed by nearly 1,000 college programs and professional scouts across the country. 

We continue post event content from the Las Vegas Fall ID with a look at the top overall data recorded at 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.

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.
