Performance Analysis
Speed & Agility
- Emily shows promise in short-distance speed, ranking 10th in the 10 Yard Split.
- However, her performance in longer distances and agility drills (Home to 1st, 40 Yard Split, and 5-10-5 Shuttle) is in the bottom quartile of participants.
- Focus on improving overall speed and agility to enhance her defensive range and baserunning abilities.
Hitting
- Bat speed is a relative strength, ranking 21st out of 44 participants.
- Exit velocity and peak hand speed are areas for improvement, ranking in the bottom half of participants.
- Work on increasing power and improving swing mechanics to boost exit velocity.
Arm Strength
- Throwing velocity ranks in the bottom third of participants.
- Developing arm strength should be a priority, especially for a third baseman.
Strength

- This provides a good foundation for improving bat control and throwing power.
Overall Assessment
Emily Peterson demonstrates potential in short-distance speed and grip strength. Her bat speed is also promising. However, there are several areas for improvement, particularly in overall speed, agility, and arm strength. As a third baseman, focusing on these aspects will be crucial for her development. Her hitting metrics suggest a need for power development to complement her decent bat speed. Given her age and uncommitted status, there's ample time for skill enhancement. A targeted training program focusing on speed, agility, arm strength, and hitting power could significantly improve her overall performance and make her a more competitive prospect.
