Utah Fall Top Prospect Games: Data Dive


RJ Elmore
Western Operations Director

The Utah Fall Prospect Games are officially in the books, featuring over 110 prospects from the 2026–2029 classes. A huge thank you goes out to the UVU coaching staff for hosting and helping make the event a success.

Players kicked things off with a full pro-style workout, giving our staff and college recruiters in attendance a chance to get an up-close look at some of the top talent in the state. Position players ran through VALD-lasered 60-times, positional evaluations with recorded velocities, BP rounds tracked by TrackMan and Blast Motion, as well as additional VALD athletic testing and Vizual Edge vision testing. Following the workout, players moved into live gameplay, where pitchers had their TrackMan metrics recorded in a competitive setting.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be releasing post-event content, including stat leaderboards, write-ups, videos, player spotlights, and more. Stay tuned to our social media channels and our website to keep updated.

In this post, we’ll highlight the overall stat leaders from the event, with data collected through our state-of-the-art technology partners.

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.


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


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.

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.

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.
