Son has cage video from Stanford Camp with Rapsodo exit velocity embedded in the video for each swing. There are about 40 swings total. When he is reporting his exit velo to coaches, should he only provide the fastest exit velo from among the 40 swings? Should he provide the average of the 40 swings? What is everyone else doing? Is there an industry standard for reporting exit velo? Your responses will also help me make a comparison to previous posts on this site that discuss exit velo. Thank you!

I believe Max is usually what is reported, but you could provide more info like Pitchers and identify what you "sit".  Ie give a most common range ie. Provide something like: Exit Velocity Max 95  Avg 87-90.  Ie where he most commonly falls out of those 40 swings.  Might seem a bit more genuine and actually be appreciated.  As is I'm sure most recruiting coaches take whatever someone says and estimates about 6-10mph less.

I would use max with the exception of an obvious outlier. Sometimes there are just missreads. That happens even at the mlb level, a couple years ago nick madrigal had a 3 hop grounder read at 110 or so at statcast and obviously he can't do that.

So if it is an obvious missread 10 mph harder than every ball he ever hit I would not send it, because then if they see you and you don't come close it is a bit embarrassing
