Performance Analysis

Speed & Agility

Addyson demonstrates above-average agility with a strong performance in the 5-10-5 shuttle, ranking 8th out of 111 participants. Her 10-yard split time is also competitive, placing her in the top 20% of participants. However, her 40-yard split and home-to-first times suggest room for improvement in overall speed and acceleration over longer distances.

Hitting

Addyson's hitting metrics are exceptional, showcasing her as one of the top power hitters in the event:

• Her exit velocity of 76mph ranks 3rd overall, indicating excellent power generation.
• A bat speed of 68mph (9th rank) and peak hand speed of 23mph (5th rank) demonstrate superior bat control and quick hands through the hitting zone.
• The vertical bat angle of 10 degrees suggests a slightly upward swing path, which can contribute to her power output.

Arm Strength

With a throwing velocity of 58mph ranking 63rd out of 111, Addyson's arm strength is below average for this event. This area presents an opportunity for improvement, especially considering her positions as 1B/OF where arm strength can be crucial.

Overall Assessment

Addyson Schlake demonstrates elite hitting potential with exceptional power metrics. Her agility is also a strong point, particularly in short-area quickness. To enhance her overall profile, focus areas should include:

1. Improving long-distance speed and acceleration
2. Developing arm strength to complement her defensive positions
3. Maintaining and further developing her outstanding hitting abilities

Given her uncommitted status and strong offensive metrics, Addyson presents as a high-potential prospect for collegiate programs seeking a power-hitting 1B/OF with room for further development in her overall athletic profile.
