Stats Analysis: Salt Lake Preseason ID
February 10, 2026
The Salt Lake Preseason ID took place on Saturday, February 7 @ Corner Canyon HS in Draper at their brand new, incredible indoor facility. This event featured a collection of promising prospects from Utah's 2026–2030 graduating classes, each aiming to display the progress they have made over the course of the busy Fall and Winter offseason schedule.
The ID allowed our staff to evaluate prospects before the Spring season and served as an identifier for future invite-only events such as the Preseason All-State, Top Prospect Games, Future Games, and more.
Each participant received a full Prep Baseball profile update, including headshot, video, showcase statistics, and advanced data analysis. With profile access by more than 1000 college programs across the country, the event provided valuable exposure for players while offering an in-depth evaluation heading into the offseason.
We now take a look at the top overall data recorded at the Salt Lake Preseason ID.
VALD PERFORMANCE
TOP 60-YARD DASH
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-yard splits, 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.
TOP RUN SPEED
TRACKMAN
MAX FASTBALL VELOCITY
MAX EXIT VELOCITY
HIGHEST AVG. EXIT VELOCITY
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 impact.
MAX BATTED DISTANCE
HIGHEST 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
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 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.

VIZUAL EDGE
EDGE SCORE
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.
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.
