Performance Analysis

Speed & Agility

Emily demonstrates exceptional speed, ranking 2nd in both Home to 1st (2.934s) and 40 Yard Split (5.349s) out of 112 participants. Her 10 Yard Split time of 1.762s also places her in the top 10. While her 5-10-5 Shuttle time (5.388s) is above average, ranking 45th, there's room for improvement in agility compared to her straight-line speed.

Hitting

Emily's hitting metrics suggest areas for improvement. Her exit velocity (60mph) and peak hand speed (14mph) rank in the bottom quartile of participants. Bat speed (56mph) is slightly better but still in the lower half. Focus on strength training and swing mechanics could enhance these metrics.

Pitching

Emily excels in pitching velocity, consistently ranking 4th across different pitch types:

• Fastball: 63mph
• Rise: 63mph
• Drop: 60mph
• Change-up: 41mph

Her spin rates are also impressive, particularly for the change-up (1,123RPM, rank 8) and drop ball (887RPM, rank 5). The fastball spin rate (930RPM, rank 22) shows room for improvement relative to her velocity ranking.

Overall Assessment

Emily Koranda demonstrates elite speed and exceptional pitching velocity, making her a standout right-handed pitcher. Her ability to maintain high velocity across different pitch types is particularly noteworthy. While her pitching metrics are strong, there's potential to improve spin rates, especially on her fastball, to match her velocity rankings.
