Reno Fall ID: BLAST Motion Data
September 18, 2025
Reno, Nevada - On Sunday, September 14, Prep Baseball Nevada held its Reno Fall ID at the University of Nevada, Reno. The first Fall ID event of the year featured over 25 prospects from the class of 2026 through 2030.
Players also received video footage and verified stats to their profiles, giving them a strong foundation for building their recruiting presence. Fall ID’s play a key role in identifying prospects for premier events such as the West Coast Super Sophomore Games, West Coast Games, Future Games, and more.
We continue our Post Event Coverage with a look at the top BLAST Motion Data recorded at the event.

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.
