MTBA Fall Evaluations: BLAST Motion Data


RJ Elmore
Western Operations Director

Las Vegas, Nevada – On Wednesday, August 20th, Prep Baseball Nevada hosted the MTBA Fall Evaluations, featuring over 30 prospects from the MTBA Baseball program. The event gave players the opportunity to update their TrackMan hitting and BLAST Motion data.

We continue our Post-Event Coverage from the MTBA Fall Evaluations with a breakdown of the top BLAST Motion numbers recorded on Wednesday. Stay tuned to our website and social media channels in the coming days for continued coverage.

BLAST MOTION

AVG. BAT SPEED

MAX BAT SPEED

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.

AVG. HAND SPEED



MAX HAND SPEED

Hand Speed: The observed speed as measured on the handle of the bat (measured six inches from the knob of the bat). Peak Hand Speed will occur prior to the moment of impact, very close to the commit time in the swing when the wrists unhinge.

AVG. ROTATIONAL ACCELERATION

MAX ROTATIONAL ACCELERATION

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.

AVG. ON PLANE EFFICIENCY

On Plane: this metric measures the percentage of your swing that the sweet spot of the bat is considered to be On Plane. The reference plane is defined at the moment of impact. The percentage of your swing On Plane is determined by the amount of speed generated within that reference plane.
