BORMAN FIELD, YOUNTVILLE, CALIF. - A total of 16 pitchers, all uncommitted, took their turnson the mound. The breakdown by class was as follows: 2022 - 3 / 2023 - 6 / 2024 - 7
In addition to the traditional showcase (60 yard run, BP round, defensive workouts), the pitchers showed their stuff in 'pen session on the main stadium mound. Today's post highlights the leaders in velocity and spin, with the data gathered via the portable TrackMan B1 unit.
Prep Baseball Report California events across the country have been powered by TrackMan’s industry-leading portable system to capture pinpoint accurate, actionable data from player performances. Prep Baseball Report and TrackMan are dedicated to recognizing talent and unleashing their potential.
At the event all pitchers pitches were monitored through the portable Trackman B1 unit. Each player threw their complete arsenal of pitches allowing us to collect metrics such as release velocity, spin rate, vertical & horizontal movement and much more.
This data goes directly into the player profiles allowing the PBR Staff, college coaches and professional scouts alike to evaluate and compare prospects on a national scale.
Here are some of the advanced metrics gathered.
Spin Rate is defined as how fast the ball is spinning as it leaves the pitcher's hand, measured in "Revolutions per Minute or RPM"
Spin Score (listed in the sortable player stats link below) = Spin Rate (RPM) / Velocity (MPH)
Driveline Baseball on Spin Score: Spin Scores are intended to control for velocity when looking at spin rate. The equation was intended to be simple enough for coaches and players to use quickly in practice to compare pitchers to MLB average.
We will roll out more data and content from this PBR scouted event in the coming days and weeks.
(Note: All showcase videos have now been added to players profiles)
