LAS VEGAS, NV - The top in-state event, THe Las Vegas Top Prospect Games has officially wrapped up, bringing together more than 140 prospects from the 2027, 2028, and 2029 graduating classes. The event provided players with an opportunity to update their Prep Baseball profiles, compete alongside many of the top players in the state, earn invitations to future premier events, and continue gaining exposure through the the Prep Baseball platform.

The event featured a comprehensive evaluation that included laser-timed 60-yard dash testing, offensive and defensive workouts, and advanced data collection through TrackMan, Blast Motion, and Vizual Edge. Pitchers threw live innings against hitters, allowing them to showcase their stuff in a game-like environment while generating valuable performance metrics. Hitters had the opportunity to translate their workout data into live at-bats, demonstrating how their tools and offensive abilities played against quality pitching.

Throughout the day, players were evaluated by Prep Baseball's scouting staff, with standout performances emerging both during the workout portion and in live gameplay. Below is a look at some of the top overall statistical performers from the event.

In the next coming weeks, stay tuned for more videos, write ups, scouting reports, leaderboards, and more.


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.

TOP RUN SPEED


TRACKMAN

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.


BLAST MOTION

HIGHEST AVG. 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.

HIGHEST AVG. 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.

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.
