Future Games - Nevada Pitching Data Dive
August 2, 2023
The Future Games is Prep Baseball's marquee event of the year for uncommitted talent and it was another incredibly successful event with 375 college coaches in attendance to take in the abundance of unsigned talent.
Team Nevada was comprised of 16 players with two of them joining us from Idaho. It was a loaded roster that should draw significant interest from college coaches over the next year and we had plenty of impressive showings between the showcase and gameplay.
Below, we continue to break down all the data from the event with a look at the top TrackMan pitching data among Team Nevada arms during gameplay.

FASTBALL
MAX VELOCITY (MPH)
| RANK | NAME | STATE | SCHOOL | CLASS | POS | VELOCITY (MAX) |
| 1 | Diego Baker | ID | Timberline | 2025 | RHP | 88.6 |
| 2 | Ace Hansen | NV | Faith Lutheran | 2025 | OF | 88.4 |
| 3 | Macen Collura | NV | Faith Lutheran | 2026 | SS | 88.2 |
| 4 | Keenan Dolan | NV | Bishop Manogue | 2026 | OF | 88.1 |
| 5 | Braylon Kolish | NV | Green Valley | 2026 | RHP | 88.1 |
Max Fastball Velocity: This metric calculates the speed of the pitch as it’s released from the pitcher’s hand.
SPIN RATE (AVG)
| RANK | NAME | STATE | SCHOOL | CLASS | POS | SPIN RATE (AVG) |
| 1 | Mack Edwards | NV | Reno | 2025 | 1B | 2212 rpm |
| 2 | Macen Collura | NV | Faith Lutheran | 2026 | SS | 2136 rpm |
| 3 | Ace Hansen |
NV | Faith Lutheran | 2025 | OF | 2048 rpm |
| 4 | Keenan Dolan | NV | Bishop Manogue | 2026 | OF | 2042 rpm |
| 5 | Jordan Watkins | NV | Faith Lutheran | 2025 | RHP | 1889 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.
INDUCED VERTICAL BREAK (AVG.)
| RANK | NAME | STATE | SCHOOL | CLASS | POS | IVB (AVG) |
| 1 | Keenan Dolan |
NV | Bishop Manogue | 2026 | OF | 15.5 in |
| 2 | Macen Collura | NV | Faith Lutheran | 2026 | SS | 15.1 in |
| 3 | Ace Hansen |
NV | Faith Lutheran | 2025 | OF | 14.4 in |
| 4 | Braylon Kolish |
NV | Green Valley | 2026 | RHP | 13.6 in |
| 5 | Jordan Watkins | NV | Faith Lutheran | 2025 | RHP | 12.9 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 | Kane Barber | NV | Centennial | 2026 | LHP | -15.8 |
| 2 | Diego Baker |
ID | Timberline | 2025 | RHP | 14.5 |
| 3 | Jordan Watkins |
NV | Faith Lutheran | 2025 | RHP | 14.2 |
| 4 | Braylon Kolish |
NV | Green Valley | 2026 | RHP | 12.7 |
| 5 | Mack Edwards |
NV | Reno | 2025 | 1B | -10.5 |
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.”
