CSI Scout Day: Positional Data Dive
October 10, 2023
On Friday, October 6rd, the PBR Idaho staff travelled into Twin Falls to host our annual College of Southern Idaho Scout Day on campus at Skip Walker Field. This event featured 43 players within the Golden Eagles baseball program, both freshman and sophomores, and allowed our staff an opportunity to get an in-depth first look at the talent within the junior college program.
Earlier this week, we broke down the top measurable data performers from the event with our Statistical Analysis and Pitching Data Dive. Now, we will take a further in-depth look at the top position players and metrics with the help of our tech partnerships, broken down by the categories down below:

EXIT VELOCITY (AVG.)
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 DISTANCE (MAX)
| Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Distance (max) |
| 1 | Jack Barker | ID | Mountain View | 2025 | OF | 388 ft |
| 2 | Dax Newman | UT | American Fork | 2022 | RHP | 387 ft |
| 3 | Brexten Starley | UT | Crimson Cliffs | 2023 | C | 382 ft |
| 4 | Colby Carter | UT | Skyridge | 2024 | 3B | 376 ft |
| 5 | Kason O'Neil | ID | Kuna | 2023 | 1B | 357 ft |
| 6 | Eliot Jones | ID | Idaho Falls | 2022 | OF | 355 ft |
| 7 | Humberto Garcia | ID | Timberline | 2022 | C | 352 ft |
| 8 | Sammy Richards | UT | Salem Hills | 2022 | OF | 352 ft |
| 9 | Ryan Horvath | ID | Skyline | 2022 | OF | 351 ft |
| 10 | Jack Ryan | ID | Owyhee | 2023 | OF | 347 ft |
BATTED BALL DISTANCE (AVG)
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.
BLAST MOTION
HAND SPEED (AVG.)
Hand Speed: The observed speed as measured on the handle of the bat (measured six inches from the knob of the bat). Peak Hand Speed will occur prior to the moment of impact, very close to the commit time in the swing when the wrists unhinge.
BAT SPEED (AVG.)
Bat Speed: The observed speed of the sweet spot of the bat at impact. The sweet spot of the bat is measured six inches from the tip of the bat.
ROTATIONAL ACCELERATION (AVG.)
Body Rotation: A swing that has the appropriate relative contributions of body and bat rotations is an efficient and Powerful swing that maintains proper sequencing. An efficient baseball swing is one in which the body creates the initial movements, which is then transferred to the arms and out to the bat, thereby maximizing Bat Speed through this proximal-to-distal kinematic sequencing movement pattern.
