This was an open event for 2026-2030 prospects, and gave our staff an ample look at the area&#8217;s top prospects.<\/p>\n<p>Nearly 30 players made their way to Elk Grove 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 California staff.<\/p>\n<p>Today, we will take a further in-depth look at the top position players with the help of our tech partnerships, broken down by the categories below:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.prepbaseballreport.com\/event\/NATIONAL\/create-a-free-pbr-player-profile\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/PB_FreeProfile_711.jpg\" width=\"75%\" alt=\"\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>60-YARD<\/p>\n<p>Traditionally, the 60-yard dash has been the in-event standard to help measure a player&#8217;s speed tool. We implemented three timing gates at the 10 and 30 yards, to capture athletes\u2019 quickness, explosiveness and reaction time. From there, we will calculate an athlete\u2019s top-end speed in miles per hour.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>MAX RUN SPEED<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;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&#8217;ll look at which players had noteworthy batted ball and pitch data.<\/p>\n<p>EXIT VELOCITY (MAX)<\/p>\n<p>EXIT VELOCITY (AVERAGE)<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Batted Ball (MAX)<\/p>\n<p>Sweet Spot %<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>VISUAL EDGE<\/p>\n<p>A look at the top Vizual Edge scores from the event.<\/p>\n<p>EDGE SCORE<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019s overall visual ability. In general the higher the Edge Score, the higher chance of athletic success. Think of the Edge Score as the &#8216;Sixth Metric&#8217; in the standard Five-Tools that make up a ball player.<\/p>\n<p>The average Edge Score for the 2020 MLB Draft Class was 79.3 (of hitters who completed a Vizual Edge test). MLB players we&#8217;ve worked with typically show stronger scores, with elite hitters scoring consistently above 87.0 on their Edge Score.<\/p>\n<p>+ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prepbaseballreport.com\/event\/CA\/6-9-26-sacramento-summer-id?tab=pos_stats\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">CLICK HERE<\/a> for a look at the complete statistics from the event.<\/p>\n<p>RELATED CONTENT<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"June 15, 2026By: Gavin SmithManager, Content &amp; Operations On Tuesday, June 9th, the Prep Baseball California team hosted&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":361480,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[121,123,122],"class_list":["post-361479","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sacramento","tag-sacramento","tag-sacramento-headlines","tag-sacramento-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/361479","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=361479"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/361479\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/361480"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=361479"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=361479"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=361479"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
