60 Yard Dash Time: The 60-yard dash is a sprint covering 60 PRO: 6.25-6.9 seconds yards. It is primarily to evaluate the HIGHSCHOOL: 7.0-7.8 seconds speed and acceleration of YOUTH: 7.9-8.5 seconds players.

30 Yard Split Time: The distance from home plate to frst base PRO: 3.9-4.5 seconds (90 ft). HIGHSCHOOL: 4.2-4.9 seconds YOUTH: 4.6-5.25 seconds

Standing Broad Jump: The standing broad jump is primarily used WORLD RECORD: 12 feet 2 inches to measure a player's short-area power NFL RECORD: 12 feet 2.75 inches and explosion. Players jump forward from USA HS RECORD: 11 feet 5 inches a standing position, landing in a balanced, athletic stance. This action will translate to both hitting and pitching.

Lateral Jump: Lateral Jump is a sideways (lateral) jump PROFICIENT: Player height + 1.5ft ↑ off one leg. This translates to DEFICIENT: Player height + .5ft ↓ explosiveness and power in both hitting and pitching.

Infeld Velocity: Measures the infelder’s arm strength PRO: 100-90 mph when throwing from shortstop to frst HIGHSCHOOL: 80-70 mph base. YOUTH: 60-50 mph

Outfeld Velocity: Measures the outfelder's arm strength PRO: 105-90 mph when throwing from centerfeld to home HIGHSCHOOL: 80-70 mph plate. YOUTH: 60-50 mph

Mound Velocity: Measures the ’s arm strength when PRO: 104-93 mph throwing from off the mound to the HIGHSCHOOL: 85-75 mph . YOUTH: 65-55 mph

Catcher Pop Time: Pop Time measures the time from the PRO: 1.7-1.9 seconds moment the pitch hits the catcher's mitt to HIGHSCHOOL: 2.0-2.2 seconds the moment the ball reaches the felder's YOUTH: 2.25-2.45 seconds glove at second base. Offensive Measurement Defnitions References

Exit Velocity: Exit Velocity measures the speed of the PRO: 105-90 mph baseball as it comes off the bat, HIGHSCHOOL: 85-70 mph immediately after a batter makes contact. YOUTH: 65-50 mph

Bat Speed: Bat Speed is the observed speed of the PRO: 80-65 mph sweet spot of the bat at impact. The sweet HIGHSCHOOL: 70-55 mph spot of the bat is measured six inches YOUTH: 55-40 mph from the tip of the bat.

Attack Angle: Attack Angle is the angle of the bat's path, PRO: 23-19° at impact, relative to horizontal. A positive HIGHSCHOOL: 18-14° value indicates swinging up, and a YOUTH: 13-9° negative value indicates swinging down. Zero is perfectly level.

Time Contact: Time to Contact is the elapsed time PRO: 0.13-0.17 seconds between start of downswing and impact. HIGHSCHOOL: 0.14-0.2 seconds The start of downswing uses an advanced YOUTH: 0.17-0.23 seconds algorithm to detect when functional forward bat speed is initiated and is not triggered by bat waggle early in the swing.

Peak Hand Speed: Peak Hand Speed is the observed PRO: 29-23 mph maximum speed as measured on the HIGHSCHOOL: 26-19 mph handle of the bat (measured six inches YOUTH: 23-17 mph 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.

Power: The average power generated during the PRO: 5.8-3.8 kW swing is found from the effective mass of HIGHSCHOOL: 4.1-2.1 kW the bat, the bat speed at impact, and the YOUTH: 2.8-0.8 kW average acceleration during the downswing. Power is measured in watts. Higher power is achieved when a hitter is able to swing a heavier bat and accelerate it to higher speeds.
