Salt Lake Fall ID: BLAST Motion Data


RJ Elmore
Western Operations Director

This past Saturday, the Prep Baseball Utah staff hosted the Salt Lake Fall ID at Riverton HS. The event featured players from the 2026–2029 classes and gave prospects the chance to go through a full pro-style workout. Players recorded lasered 60-yard dash times with splits, defensive work with position velocities, and batting practice tracked by TrackMan.

Each player received video footage (to be edited and added to profiles in 2–3 weeks) along with verified stats, helping them continue to build their recruiting presence. Fall ID events also serve as identifiers for future invite-only events such as the West Coast Games, Utah Top Prospect Games, Future Games, and more.

Today, we will take a look at the top BLAST Motion data from the event.

BLAST MOTION

HIGHEST PEAK HAND SPEED

HIGHEST AVG. HAND SPEED

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.

HIGHEST PEAK BAT SPEED

HIGHEST AVG. BAT SPEED

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.

HIGHEST PEAK ROTATIONAL ACCELERATION

HIGHEST AVG. ROTATIONAL ACCELERATION

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.
