South TX Scout Day: Positional Data Dive


Prep Baseball Texas Staff

On Saturday, October 11th, the PB Texas staff traveled to Calallen High School in Corpus Christi, TX, to host the South Texas Scout Day.

Nearly 100 players made their way to Calallen HS this past weekend 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 for the event, that highlighted the top statistical performers, as well as our scouting takeaways on the event's 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.


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.
