Prep Baseball Texas Staff

On Tuesday, July 7th, the PB Texas staff traveled to Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, TX, to host the Top Prospect Games: Huntsville, an invite-only event for all high school classes.

More than 20 players made their way to Sam Houston State 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.

10-YARD SPLIT

Rank	Name	State	School	Class	Pos	10-yd
1	Joshua Majalap-Wilson	TX	Katy	2028	RHP	1.59 s
2	Brady Bouska	TX	Tomball Memorial	2028	SS	1.62 s
3	Cayden Deason	TX	Lutheran South Academy	2028	SS	1.64 s

^	Alijah Carter	TX	Texas Online	2028	2B	1.65 s
5	Cade Mikolajewski	TX	Tomball	2028	C	1.66 s

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. 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.

MAX VERTICAL JUMP

Rank	Name	State	School	Class	Pos	Jump Height (max)
1	Brady Bouska	TX	Tomball Memorial	2028	SS	29.0
2	Joshua Majalap-Wilson	TX	Katy	2028	RHP	28.7
3	Samuel Arrendell	TX	Second Baptist	2027	OF	27.7
4	Alijah Carter	TX	Texas Online	2028	2B	27.6
5	Lou Jonas Arrambide	TX	Bowie	2027	RHP	27.2

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	Landon Adkison	TX	College Station	2029	C	401 ft

Sweet Spot %

Rank	Name	State	School	Class	Pos	Sweet Spot %
1	Colton Davis	TX	Calallen H S	2027	RHP	75 %
2	Landon Hawkinson	TX	College Station	2028	OF	73 %

VISUAL EDGE

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

EDGE SCORE

Rank	Name	State	School	Class	Pos	Edge Score
1	Nicolas Collazo	TX	Tompkins	2028	SS	84.52
2	Santiago Navarro	TX	Cypress Christian School	2028	C	81.76
3	Micah Steely	TX	Buda Johnson	2028	C	79.85
4	Samuel Arrendell	TX	Second Baptist	2027	OF	79.12
5	Nicholas Mendoza	TX	The John Cooper School	2029	OF	77.95

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.
