2025 Top Prospect Games: Trackman Hitting Leaders


Sammy Esposito
PB SC Director of Scouting

Prep Baseball South Carolina hosted its annual Top Prospect Games on August 16th at The College of Charleston, featuring standout talent from the 2026–2029 graduating classes. Widely regarded as one of the premier summer events on the Prep Baseball schedule.

The day opened with an defensive workout, were players moved into a defensive workout at their primary positions, giving coaches and scouts a closer look at each athlete’s athleticism, movements, and arm strength, along with athletic testing while testing there 10/30/60 yard splts, jump heights, and grip strengths. Follwing the defensive and athletic testing position players took live batting practice on the field.  Utilizing TrackMan and Blast Motion technology, players were evaluated on both pre-swing metrics and ball-flight analytics

After the workout, players were divided into teams for a controlled game environment. Pitchers faced live hitters with carefully managed pitch counts to limit workload, while hitters gained valuable live reps against quality arms. This format allowed both scouts and college coaches to further evaluate players beyond the workout setting.  Heavy rains settled for the day and we had to cancel this portion with the game play being postponed until September 1st!!

Below, we highlight the top performers across select categories from the event.

Peak Distance - Best of the Hitter’s Session

Average Distance - Average of each ball tracked in the Session

LAUNCH ANGLE PERCENTAGE

Based on the ball flight, TrackMan is able to identify each hit as a ground ball, line drive, or fly ball.  While there are many factors as to why a hitter may approach each pitch in a certain way, the overall groupings of BP can give some insight to each hitter's approach.
