Performance Analysis

Speed & Agility

Brooklyn demonstrates above-average speed and agility, particularly in the 40-yard split where she ranks in the top 15% of participants. Her 10-yard split and home-to-first times are also competitive, indicating good acceleration and base-running potential.

Hitting

Brooklyn's hitting metrics show significant potential. Her exit velocity of 73mph ranks her in the top 10% of participants, suggesting strong power at the plate. Her bat speed and peak hand speed are also above average, ranking in the top 30% and 22% respectively. These metrics indicate a quick, powerful swing that could translate to consistent hard contact.

Arm Strength

With a throwing velocity of 57mph, Brooklyn ranks in the middle of the pack (66th percentile). While not a standout strength, her arm is adequate for her primary position as a catcher.

Catching

Brooklyn excels in her primary position, with a pop time of 1.880s ranking her 6th out of 112 participants. This exceptional pop time suggests she has the potential to control the running game effectively and could be a defensive asset behind the plate.

Overall Assessment

Brooklyn Wells demonstrates a well-rounded skill set with particular strengths in hitting and catching. Her top-tier exit velocity and excellent pop time indicate she could be a valuable two-way player, contributing both offensively and defensively. Her speed metrics suggest she's also a capable base runner and fielder.

While her arm strength is average for this group, her exceptional pop time compensates for this in her primary position. To further improve her profile, Brooklyn could focus on enhancing her arm strength and continuing to refine her already impressive hitting mechanics.

Given her current metrics and potential for growth, Brooklyn appears to be a promising prospect who could attract attention from competitive collegiate programs. Her combination of offensive power and defensive skills behind the plate make her a valuable catching prospect for the 2026 class.
