Idaho State Games: Pitching Data Dive
June 12, 2023
On June 6th and 7th, the PBR Idaho staff hosted the Idaho State Games at College of Southern Idaho in Twin Falls, Idaho. This event featured around 80 prospects, with plenty of top talent from the 2024 - 2028 classes and allowed our staff an opportunity to get an in-depth look at the players in attendance.
Earlier this week, we broke down the top measurable data performers from the event with our Statistical Analysis. Now, we will take a further in-depth look at the top pitchers with the help of our tech partnerships, broken down by the categories down below:

9 | Easton Cannon | ID | Blackfoot | 2025 | SS | 84.0 mph |
10 | Jason Williams | ID | Blackfoot | 2026 | RHP | 83.8 mph |
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 | Jackson Gardner | ID | Sugar Salem | 2025 | RHP | 2435 rpm |
2 | Ryder Scheibe | ID | Emmett | 2025 | RHP | 2413 rpm |
3 | Luca Quilici | ID | BISHOP KELLY HIGH SCHOOL | 2025 | RHP | 2291 rpm |
4 | Keegan Randall | ID | Ridgevue | 2024 | SS | 2284 rpm |
5 | Caden Robinett | ID | Timberlake | 2024 | RHP | 2268 rpm |
6 | Stephen Egan | ID | Eagle | 2026 | RHP | 2250 rpm |
7 | Kyler Robinson | ID | Burley | 2024 | RHP | 2224 rpm |
8 | Nash Randall | ID | Blackfoot | 2026 | RHP | 2203 rpm |
9 | Brayden Schaefer | ID | NAMPA CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS | 2025 | RHP | 2184 rpm |
10 | Jackson Wendt | ID | ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH SCHOOL | 2025 | 1B | 2177 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 | Tegan Mortensen | ID | Madison | 2025 | OF | 19.3 in |
2 | Grayden Lucas | ID | Skyview | 2024 | LHP | 17.9 in |
3 | Kyler Robinson | ID | Burley | 2024 | RHP | 17.7 in |
4 | Ryder Scheibe | ID | Emmett | 2025 | RHP | 16.7 in |
5 | Jackson Wendt | ID | ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH SCHOOL | 2025 | 1B | 16.7 in |
6 | Caden Robinett | ID | Timberlake | 2024 | RHP | 16.1 in |
7 | TeJay Holstine | ID | Twin Falls | 2024 | RHP | 15.7 in |
8 | Robert Morales | ID | Madison | 2026 | SS | 15.6 in |
9 | Nash Randall | ID | Blackfoot | 2026 | RHP | 15.5 in |
10 | Jason Williams | ID | Blackfoot | 2026 | RHP | 15.5 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.)

7 | TeJay Holstine | ID | Twin Falls | 2024 | RHP | 12.2 |
8 | Dylan Guay | ID | Owyhee | 2024 | 3B | 11.6 |
9 | Cash Dahle | ID | BLACKFOOT HIGH SCHOOL | 2026 | LHP | -11.2 |
10 | Nash Randall | ID | Blackfoot | 2026 | RHP | 10.6 |
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.”
