Tennessee Preseason All-State - Underclass: Blast Motion Board


Prep Baseball Tennessee Staff

GALLATIN, TN - The Prep Baseball Tennessee Preseason All-State: Underclass was held on Saturday, February 8th at Liberty Creek HS. Players went through an extended pro-style workout that included batting practice using Trackman, ran the 60-yard dash using Vald Performance, and much more. Pitchers were able to get numbers and metrics on TrackMan during a bullpen setting. There were some players who showed up and continued to build off of prior performances, but there were also some new names who jumped onto our radar with a strong showing at the event.

Continuing our post-event coverage for the event, we take a look at the Blast Motion leaderboards from the Preseason All-State: Underclass. Please be sure to continue to check back as we release other leaderboards from the event, along with the scouting reports on all players in attendance.

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.
