Prep Baseball Texas Staff

On Wednesday, June 17th, the PB Texas staff traveled to C.E. King High School in Houston, TX, to host the East Houston Summer ID, an open event for all high school classes.

Players made their way to C.E. King 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

Rank	Name	State	School	Class	Pos	60-yard
1	DYLAN BUCK	TX	Friendswood	2027	OF	6.50
2	Brady Schneider	TX	The Woodlands	2027	SS	6.60
3	Travis Thompson	TX	Hamshire-Fannett H S	2027	RHP	6.68
4	Caine Love	TX	Brazosport Christian School	2028	OF	7.00
^	Daniel Flemming	TX	Tompkins	2027	OF	7.00
5	Miles Robinson	TX	Lufkin	2030	OF	7.18

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.

MAX VERTICAL JUMP

Rank	Name	State	School	Class	Pos	Jump Height (max)
1	DYLAN BUCK	TX	Friendswood	2027	OF	26.3
2	Travis Thompson	TX	Hamshire-Fannett H S	2027	RHP	23.6
3	Peyton Grothe	TX	Montgomery	2029	SS	23.4
4	Caine Love	TX	Brazosport Christian School	2028	OF	23.1
5	Brady Schneider	TX	The Woodlands	2027	SS	21.3

Regarding Vertical Jumps and its application to baseball, there have been studies conducted that show a correlation between max jump height for an athlete and their ability to generate power and strength, especially on the mound.

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)

Rank	Name	State	School	Class	Pos	Distance (max)
1	DYLAN BUCK	TX	Friendswood	2027	OF	380 ft
2	Damion Goode	TX	North Shore	2028	C	349 ft
3	Ryder Sepulvado	TX	Lufkin	2029	3B	339 ft
4	Brady Schneider	TX	The Woodlands	2027	SS	330 ft
5	Travis Thompson	TX	Hamshire-Fannett H S	2027	RHP	325 ft

Sweet Spot %

Rank	Name	State	School	Class	Pos	Sweet Spot %
1	Benjamin Luks	TX	St. John's	2029	3B	61 %
2	Caleb Witten	TX	Tompkins	2027	C	60 %
3	Peyton Grothe	TX	Montgomery	2029	SS	55 %
4	Brady Schneider	TX	The Woodlands	2027	SS	53 %

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.

VISUAL EDGE

A look at the top Vizual Edge scores from the event.

EDGE SCORE

Rank	Name	State	School	Class	Pos	Edge Score
1	Kayden Bulpitt	TX	Lutheran South Academy	2028	C	78.50
2	Brady Schneider	TX	The Woodlands	2027	SS	75.31
3	Travis Thompson	TX	Hamshire-Fannett H S	2027	RHP	73.24
4	Benjamin Luks	TX	St. John's	2029	3B	71.89

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. Think of the Edge Score as the 'Sixth Metric' in the standard Five-Tools that make up a ball player.

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.
