Prep Baseball Texas Staff

On Wednesday, June 10th, the PB Texas staff traveled to McLennan Community College in Waco, TX, to host the Waco Summer ID, an open event for all high school classes.

Players made their way to McLennan CC 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-yd
1	Colton Green	TX	Georgetown	2027	3B	6.68 s
2	Hudson Brown	TX	China Spring	2028	OF	6.79 s
3	Tucker Creel	TX	Troy	2027	LHP	6.92 s
4	Aiden Locke	TX	Midway	2027	SS	6.96 s
5	Colton (Cole) Thornton	TX	Crawford H S	2027	1B	6.98 s

10-YARD SPLIT

Rank	Name	State	School	Class	Pos	10-yd
1	Colton Green	TX	Georgetown	2027	3B	1.65 s
2	Casen Conlon	TX	Lorena	2028	C	1.67 s
^	Ethan Swope	TX	Midway	2027	SS	1.67 s
3	Aiden Locke	TX	Midway	2027	SS	1.69 s
^	Tucker Creel	TX	Troy	2027	LHP	1.69 s
4	Max Deem	TX	Liberty Christian	2028	3B	1.70 s
5	Colton (Cole) Thornton	TX	Crawford H S	2027	1B	1.71 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	Colton Green	TX	Georgetown	2027	3B	25.5
2	Tucker Creel	TX	Troy	2027	LHP	25.4
3	Max Deem	TX	Liberty Christian	2028	3B	25.3
4	Ethan Swope	TX	Midway	2027	SS	24.7
5	Hudson Brown	TX	China Spring	2028	OF	24.5

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.

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.

4	Casen Conlon	TX	Lorena	2028	C	90.6 mph
5	Hudson Brown	TX	China Spring	2028	OF	89.7 mph

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	Colton Green	TX	Georgetown	2027	3B	398 ft
2	Hudson Brown	TX	China Spring	2028	OF	392 ft
3	Max Deem	TX	Liberty Christian	2028	3B	372 ft
4	Boston Cox	TX	Lovejoy	2028	SS	365 ft
5	Casen Conlon	TX	Lorena	2028	C	357 ft

Sweet Spot %

Rank	Name	State	School	Class	Pos	Sweet Spot %
1	Fabian Martinez	TX	Midway	2027	1B	69 %
2	Noah Sullivan	TX	Frisco	2028	C	68 %
^	Boston Cox	TX	Lovejoy	2028	SS	68 %
3	Brody Burchfield	TX	James Martin high school	2028	RHP	64 %
4	Jace Carter Reagan	TX	Conroe	2030	1B	61 %
^	Colton Green	TX	Georgetown	2027	3B	61 %
5	Max Deem	TX	Liberty Christian	2028	3B	60 %
^	Casen Conlon	TX	Lorena	2028	C	60 %

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	Brody Burchfield	TX	James Martin high school	2028	RHP	78.23
2	Ethan Swope	TX	Midway	2027	SS	75.30
3	Fabian Martinez	TX	Midway	2027	1B	74.30
4	Max Deem	TX	Liberty Christian	2028	3B	72.76

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.
