Performance Analysis
Speed & Agility
Reagan's speed and agility metrics show room for improvement. Her 10-yard split time ranks in the middle of the pack, while her home-to-first and 40-yard split times are in the bottom quartile. Her 5-10-5 shuttle time is slightly better, ranking 25th out of 44 participants. Focusing on explosive starts and overall speed development could significantly enhance her performance in these areas.
Hitting
Reagan's hitting metrics demonstrate average to slightly below-average performance compared to other participants. Her exit velocity and bat speed both rank in the bottom half, suggesting an opportunity to improve power generation in her swing. Her vertical bat angle of 29 degrees is notable, but without context on optimal angles, it's difficult to assess. Focusing on swing mechanics and strength training could help improve these metrics.
Arm Strength
With a throwing velocity of 53mph ranking 24th out of 44 participants, Reagan shows average arm strength. There's potential to improve this aspect of her game, which could be particularly beneficial for her primary position as a right-handed pitcher.
Pitching
Reagan's pitching metrics are a standout aspect of her performance. She consistently ranks in the top 5 for velocity across all pitch types, with particularly impressive rankings for her fastball, curve, and change-up (all ranking 2nd). Her spin rates are also competitive, especially her change-up
