The 2020 Michigan Top Prospect Games II - East - Advanced Pitching Metrics

Notes:

• Recorded velocities listed are from the game play session, taken from the Trackman device.

Fastball Spin Rates

The average fastball spin rate at the MLB level can range from 2050-2250 rpm. The average at the high school level will be lower, but can be hard to track as most pitchers that are getting spin rate readings, are typically more advanced. When looking at fastball spin rates, coaches and scouts are looking for pitchers that are outside the norm. High spin rate fastball, typically, tend to ride on hitter, creating swing and miss, and playing at the top of the strike zone. Low spin rate guys, typically, are creating some sink on their fastball, or the appearance that the fastball is diving.

The pure spin rate does not tell the whole story on any one pitch. Coaches and scouts are also evaluating spin efficiency and spin direction. They also want to see some consistency, pitch-to-pitch, on the release point. To learn more about Trackman data and what it all means, click here.

Name	Position	School	Class	Total Spin
Trent Johnson	RHP/3B	HH Midland Dow	2021	2400
Sean Knorr	RHP/SS	AA Pioneer	2021	2300
Hunter Pidek	RHP/2B	Troy Athens	2021	2250
Mason Glennie	RHP	Saline	2021	2200
Jimmy Love	RHP	Birmingham Seaholm	2021	2200

Breaking Ball Spin Rates

Typically bigger spin can mean bigger break, but again on the breaking ball the spin efficiency can play a part. There are also studies that show the speed of the pitch can affect if the spin rate has a chance to take hold and create the break a pitcher is looking for.

Gavin DeVooght	3B/RHP	Walled Lake Central	2023	2450
Trent Johnson	RHP/3B	HH Midland Dow	2021	2400
Matthew Grier	RHP/OF	AA Pioneer	2021	2350
