South FL IDs: Data Dive, Pitchers
June 22, 2023
The South FL IDs took place Tuesday, June 20th at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, FL. The South FL IDs consisted of Future Games Tryouts, All-American IDs, and Uncommitted '24 IDs. The event featured players from the 2024-2027 classes participating in a pro-style workout and bullpens in front of the PBR Florida Scouting Staff.
Inside today’s Pitching Data Dive we will highlight the players with top metrics per Trackman.
Wednesday, we broke down the stat leaders from the more traditional categories in our statistical analysis. Today, we will take an even closer look at the pitchers in attendance with the help of our tech partners, broken down by the categories and leaderboards below.
FASTBALL
MAX VELOCITY (MPH)
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Velocity (max) |
1 | Kiernan O'Neill | FL | North Broward Prep | 2025 | SS | 88.5 mph |
2 | Andrew Raucci | FL | Coral Springs Charter | 2024 | RHP | 84.3 mph |
3 | Kaden Foran | FL | Calvary Christian Academy | 2024 | RHP | 82.9 mph |
4 | Andrew Allison | FL | Coral Glades | 2024 | RHP | 82.7 mph |
5 | Bennett Gary | FL | Stoneman Douglas | 2025 | OF | 82.3 mph |
SPIN RATE (AVG.)
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Spin Rate (avg) |
1 | Andrew Raucci | FL | Coral Springs Charter | 2024 | RHP | 2267 rpm |
2 | Kiernan O'Neill | FL | North Broward Prep | 2025 | SS | 2225 rpm |
3 | Kaden Foran | FL | Calvary Christian Academy | 2024 | RHP | 2213 rpm |
4 | Gavin Broome | FL | Stoneman Douglas | 2026 | RHP | 2108 rpm |
5 | Angel Rodriguez | FL | Stoneman Douglas | 2026 | OF | 2100 rpm |
Spin Rate: This metric calculates the rate of spin on the baseball as it leaves the pitcher’s hand, measured in revolutions per minute (rpm). Historical data shows that high-spin fastballs lessen the impact of gravity, allowing for more ‘rise’ (or less fall, in other words) as it carries through the zone. Low-spin fastballs typically indicate the pitch has greater horizontal action, often making it tougher to square up, but generally easier to make contact with, leading to more ground balls, while high-spin fastballs show a correlation with swings and misses.
SPIN EFFICIENCY% (AVG.)
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Spin Efficiency % (avg) |
1 | Julian Ramsingh | FL | Cardinal Gibbons | 2025 | RHP | 95 % |
2 | Bennett Gary | FL | Stoneman Douglas | 2025 | OF | 94 % |
3 | Kiernan O'Neill | FL | North Broward Prep | 2025 | SS | 94 % |
4 | Nicholas Goodwin | FL | North Broward Prep | 2026 | RHP | 93 % |
5 | Andrew Sarro | FL | Stoneman Douglas | 2025 | LHP | 92 % |
Spin Efficiency: This metric is the percentage of the raw spin rate that directly impacts pitch movement; so while raw spin is measured by revolutions per minute (rpm), spin efficiency is the ratio of true spin divided by raw spin. It’s important to understand that more is not always better when it comes to spin efficiency. The optimal spin efficiency on a pitch depends on the pitch type and should be understood in the context of a pitcher’s entire arsenal. Regarding the true four-seam fastball, a spin efficiency close to 100 percent is preferable, indicating that nearly all the backspin generated on the ball as it leaves the pitcher’s hand is contributing to the “riding” action the pitch has as it enters and exits the strike zone, making it especially effective in the upper third of the strike zone.
INDUCED VERTICAL BREAK (AVG.)
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | IVB (avg) |
1 | Kiernan O'Neill | FL | North Broward Prep | 2025 | SS | 20.2 in |
2 | Bennett Gary | FL | Stoneman Douglas | 2025 | OF | 19.2 in |
3 | Gavin Broome | FL | Stoneman Douglas | 2026 | RHP | 18.0 in |
4 | Nicholas Goodwin | FL | North Broward Prep | 2026 | RHP | 17.2 in |
5 | Blake Sundberg | FL | Calvary Christian Academy | 2026 | LHP | 17.2 in |
Induced Vertical Break: Used in short form as "IVB," this metric is most important on fastballs for creating rise and on curveballs for creating depth – it can also have some use when measuring sliders and cutters as well. Sliders tend to be closer to zero inches while cutters are generally between 5 and 15 inches. Usually fastballs and curveballs with large IVB have higher spin efficiencies as well. Sliders generally have very little (closer to zero) IVB and very low spin efficiency. You could also categorize IVB into spin rate as this is part of the “useful movement” you’re looking for. IVB is also a huge part of the vertical approach angle.
HORIZONTAL MOVEMENT (AVG.)
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | HM (avg) |
1 | Andrew Sarro | FL | Stoneman Douglas | 2025 | LHP | -14.5 |
2 | Andrew Raucci | FL | Coral Springs Charter | 2024 | RHP | 14.4 |
3 | Blake Sundberg | FL | Calvary Christian Academy | 2026 | LHP | -13.6 |
4 | Daniel Milian | FL | Miami Beach Senior | 2024 | LHP | -13.3 |
5 | Kiernan O'Neill | FL | North Broward Prep | 2025 | SS | 13.3 |
Horizontal Break: Outlined on TrackMan’s own website: “... horizontal movement is measured in inches between where the pitch actually crosses the front of home plate side-wise, and where it would have crossed home plate side-wise if had it traveled in a perfectly straight line from release. A positive number means the break was to the right from the pitcher’s perspective, while a negative number means the break was to the left from the pitcher’s perspective.”
