HIT CLASSIFICATIONS Hit Classification Definitions BIP (Balls in Play) - Any ball hit within a range of –45 to 45 degrees exit direction

Hard Hit Ball – Any ball hit within 10% of a players max exit velocity Ropes – Any ball hit within 10% of a players max exit velocity and within a range of 10 to 20 degrees

Bombs - Any ball hit within 10% of a players max exit velocity and hit at 20+ degrees

RAPSODO HITTING METRICS: MEDIANS BY AGE GROUP

3D SPINNING BALL

SPIN DIRECTION

SPIN RATE RESULT<700 Ball was squared up

resulting in a knuckleball-type ball flight

<1500 Squared up, little spin induced effect to the ball flight

1500-2500 Ideal amount of backspin to create distance as balls will generally still carry a high

exit velocity 1500-3500 Typically see a dip in exit

velocity at this spin rate because too much of the hit went to the spin and not the exit velocity.

Not impossible to create distance, but likely to reduce exit

velocity so balls will not travel as far, even with the extra spin

induced carry. >3500 Miss hit creating too much back

spin resulting in lower exit velocity and carry.

Rotation of the ball shown on clock representation (Hour:Minute)

SESSION TYPE3D BALL FLIGHT

Dashed line shows ball path with no spin related movement

Solid line is actual ball path

Ball path shown by exit direction degree. The right side of the field is positive and the left side of the field is negative.

The degree of angle the ball leaves the bat. Positive represents elevated balls and negative represents a ball hit towards the ground.
