TN Top Prospect Games: Blast Motion Board

NASHVILLE, TN - The Prep Baseball Tennessee Top Prospect Games was held on Tuesday, May 28th at Vanderbilt University, followed by game play the next day on May 29th at Grace Christian Academy in Franklin, TN. This event was an invite-only event that consisted of some of the top players from the 2025-2027 classes from across Volunteer state. Players went through an extended pro-style workout that included batting practice using Trackman, ran the 60-yard dash using Swift Performance, and much more. Pitchers were able to get numbers and metrics on TrackMan during game play. There were some players who showed up and continued to build off of prior performances, but there were also some new names who jumped onto our radar with a strong showing at the event.

Continuing our post-event coverage for this event, we take a look at some of the standouts from the event. Below you will see the Blast Motion Leaderboards from the TN Top Prospect Games.

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.
