Reno Preseason ID: Stats Analysis | Underclass


RJ Elmore
Western Operations Director

RENO, NV - The Reno Preseason ID was held on Sunday, February 8th at Reno High School in Reno, NV. This showcase featured over 70 prospects from the 2026 to 2030 classes, each looking to make a statement ahead of the spring season.

Participants took part in an extended, pro style workout that included batting practice tracked by TrackMan and Blast Motion, 60 yard dash testing powered by VALD Performance, and a full defensive evaluation. Pitchers threw bullpens, capturing advanced metrics via our TrackMan unit such as pitch velocity, spin rate, and horizontal and vertical movement. The event featured a strong mix of familiar standouts continuing to build on previous performances, along with several new names who emerged with eye opening showings.

Below is the top overall data recorded by Underclassmen at the event.

Rank Name State School Class Pos 60-yd 30-yd 10-yd
1 Bodie Kellers NV Reno 2028 OF 6.87 s 3.81 s 1.64 s
2 Daniel Dicante NV Reno High School 2028 SS 6.89 s 3.82 s 1.67 s
3 Cage Kordonowy NV Reno High School 2029 3B 7.00 s 3.88 s 1.69 s

5 Alejandro Rogers NV Douglas 2028 SS 7.11 s 3.91 s 1.67 s

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.
