Charlotte Fall ID – Event Rewind

The Charlotte Fall ID was held on Saturday, November 1, 2025, at Palisades High School in Charlotte, NC. This event gave players a chance to work in a structured, pro-style workout designed to capture key analytics and performance metrics.

Participants completed multiple rounds of batting practice, a defensive workout, and bullpens for pitchers, allowing coaches and scouts to evaluate both skill and in-game performance. Players also received BLAST Motion swing metrics, jump testing, and body measurements, the event focused on collecting stats and analytics to track player development.

This blog series will highlight the top performers from the Charlotte Fall ID, showcasing players who stood out during workouts, providing insight into those making a strong impression within their organization.

Traditionally, the 60-yard dash has been the in-event standard to help measure a player's speed tool. We implemented timing gates at the 10-yard split, 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.

^	Christian Cherry	NC	Lincoln Charter	2028	OF	58 %
5	Kaegan Radford	NC	TC Roberson	2027	C	57 %

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

Rank	Name	State	School	Class	Pos	Hand Speed (avg)
1	Caiden McNeil	NC	Kingsmen Baseball Academy	2026	OF	23.1 mph
2	Karsen Dodd	NC	Providence	2029	SS	22.4 mph
3	Phillip Olvera	NC	Kingsmen Baseball Academy	2029	C	22.2 mph
4	Ryder Springston	NC	Lincoln Charter	2026	OF	21.8 mph
5	Christian Cherry	NC	Lincoln Charter	2028	OF	20.7 mph

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

Rank	Name	State	School	Class	Pos	Bat Speed (avg)
1	Caiden McNeil	NC	Kingsmen Baseball Academy	2026	OF	74.1 mph
2	Brayden Cap	NC	Athletes Lab Academy	2027	C	70.1 mph
3	Karsen Dodd	NC	Providence	2029	SS	69.9 mph
4	Kaegan Radford	NC	TC Roberson	2027	C	68.4 mph
5	Carter Sheridan	NC	Northwest Guilford	2028	SS	68.0 mph

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.

HIGHEST AVG. ROTATIONAL ACCELERATION

Rank	Name	State	School	Class	Pos	Rot. Acc (avg)
1	Kaegan Radford	NC	TC Roberson	2027	C	18.3 g
2	Christian Cherry	NC	Lincoln Charter	2028	OF	17.7 g
3	Ryder Springston	NC	Lincoln Charter	2026	OF	17.7 g
4	Pierce Miller	NC	Charlotte Country Day	2028	SS	13.5 g
5	Caiden McNeil	NC	Kingsmen Baseball Academy	2026	OF	12.6 g

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.
