Fall Campus Tour: Kennesaw State - TrackMan Files


Phil Kerber
Georgia Scouting Director

The Fall Campus Tour: Kennesaw State was held on Sunday, November 20th at Kennesaw State University. This event was an open event that consisted of prospects from the 2023-2027 classes. These players went through extended pro-style workout that included batting practice using Trackman and Blast Motion, ran the 60 yard dash using Swift Performance, and much more. Pitchers were able to throw in simulated bullpens during the workout and were able to get numbers and metrics off of our Trackman unit, such as pitch velocity, spin rate, horizontal & vertical movement & much more. There were some players who showed up and continued to build off of prior performances, but there were also some new names who jumped onto our radar with a strong showing on Sunday.

Continuing off our post-event coverage for this event, we take a look back at some of the leaders from each statistical category recorded on the Trackman B1 unit. Please continue to check back over the next week, as we will release individual scouting reports on each player present at the event.

5 Brady Ross GA Buford 2025 RHP 75.2 mph
6 Owen Murphy GA Lanier 2024 RHP 72.8 mph

Rank Name State School Class Pos Spin Rate (avg)
1 Andrew Gable GA Whitewater 2024 OF 2208 rpm
2 Ryan Travis GA Roswell 2023 RHP 2039 rpm
3 Turk Williams GA North Paulding 2026 RHP 2036 rpm
4 Will Lumpkin GA Creekview 2024 LHP 2011 rpm
5 Brady Ross GA Buford 2025 RHP 1794 rpm
6 Owen Murphy GA Lanier 2024 RHP 1679 rpm

Max Fastball Velocity: This metric calculates the speed of the pitch as it’s released from the pitcher’s hand.

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.

AVERAGE FASTBALL HORIZONTAL MOVEMENT

Rank Name State School Class Pos HM (avg)
1 Owen Murphy GA Lanier 2024 RHP 18.3
2 Will Lumpkin GA Creekview 2024 LHP -15.9
3 Brady Ross GA Buford 2025 RHP 8.9
4 Ryan Travis GA Roswell 2023 RHP 5.0
5 Andrew Gable GA Whitewater 2024 OF 3.5
6 Turk Williams GA North Paulding 2026 RHP -3.1

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.”

AVERAGE SLIDER SPIN RATE

Rank Name State School Class Pos Spin Rate (avg)
1 Andrew Gable GA Whitewater 2024 OF 2340
2 Ryan Travis GA Roswell 2023 RHP 2033
3 Turk Williams GA North Paulding 2026 RHP 1980
4 Will Lumpkin GA Creekview 2024 LHP 1729

Spin Rate: The metric calculates how fast the ball is spinning as it leaves the pitcher’s hand, reported in the number of times the pitched ball would spin per minute (“revolutions per minute” or “rpm”).

AVERAGE CURVEBALL SPIN RATE

Rank Name State School Class Pos Spin Rate (avg)
1 Ryan Travis GA Roswell 2023 RHP 2284 rpm
2 Andrew Gable GA Whitewater 2024 OF 2272 rpm
3 Brady Ross GA Buford 2025 RHP 2017 rpm
4 Owen Murphy GA Lanier 2024 RHP 1637 rpm

Spin Rate: The metric calculates how fast the ball is spinning as it leaves the pitcher’s hand, reported in the number of times the pitched ball would spin per minute (“revolutions per minute” or “rpm”).

AVERAGE CHANGEUP HORIZONTAL MOVEMENT

Rank Name State School Class Pos HM (avg)
1 Brady Ross GA Buford 2025 RHP 18.3
2 Andrew Gable GA Whitewater 2024 OF 17.7
3 Owen Murphy GA Lanier 2024 RHP 14.0
4 Will Lumpkin GA Creekview 2024 LHP -13.0
5 Turk Williams GA North Paulding 2026 RHP 12.5
6 Ryan Travis GA Roswell 2023 RHP 12.1

Horizontal Break: This metric measures the distance, 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.
