Canes Houston Scout Day: Positional Data Dive
June 11, 2026
Over the weekend of May 30th, the PB Texas staff traveled to Tomball Memorial High School in Tomball, TX, to host the Canes Houston Scout Day, an event exclusively for members of the Canes Houston program.
More than 75 players made their way to Tomball Memorial HS and participated in a pro-style workout, gathering unrivaled access to data through our state-of-the-art tech partners, as well as in-depth scouting analysis from our Prep Baseball Texas staff.
We have already released a Statistical Analysis from the event, highlighting more of the traditional statistical categories, as well as a Quick Hits, highlighting some of the events top performers.
Today, we will be looking at the top measurable data performers from the event, found below.
VALD
60-YARD
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 yards, to capture athletes’ quickness, explosiveness and reaction time. From there, we will calculate an athlete’s top-end speed in miles per hour.
TRACKMAN
We'll continue to roll out the data we gathered from this event, starting with the analytics we have at our disposal from our TrackMan units. Below we'll look at which players had noteworthy batted ball and pitch data.
EXIT VELOCITY (MAX)
EXIT VELOCITY (AVERAGE)
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 contact.
Batted Ball (MAX)
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.
