Just wondering if anyone else received their 2015 Stanford summer showcase evaluations and it included a couple of pages of SwingTracker information? Max Hand Speed, Max Barrel Speed, Impact Momentum, etc. Was measured with a gizmo made by Diamond Kinetics, Inc. Not sure how meaningful it is, but seems my son was ranked top 20% in some of these categories (okay for a 2017). Is any of this information worth passing on to recruiting coaches? Thanks.

You were fortunate - my son's group's data was accidentally erased and no report was available - apparently that was a problem with a small group of players at one of the camps this past summer. If the data is favorable I can't see why you wouldn't share it with recruiting coaches.
I ignored the Swingtracker data from the Stanford Camp. I did not like the tie-in marketing and felt that the data was a bit trashy (way too much noise). To me it was indicative of nothing. We're lucky to hit with a Hit Trax machine so we had a good baseline going in. Hit Trax data just seems way more consistent/reliable. And as PGStaff mentioned in another thread, PG may move to include Hit Trax data in their player profiles.
