PBR of North Carolina was on hand for a scout day with Catawba Valley Community College Pitchers threw a controlled bullpen with Trackman collecting ball flight data. Position players ran 60, went through a defensive evaluation and took batting practice on the field with Trackman gathering data on each swing. Below we begin our breakdown of the players who took part in the workout. Look for more information to follow in the coming days.

Average Effective Velocity

Effective velocity is taking into account the velocity of each pitch, its release distance, the pitches time to the plate / hitting area, and the pitches movement.  With all of this information, Effective Velocity is allowing coaches and scouts to more accurately compare how a pitch is affecting a hitter.

5 Tim Flanagan Catawba Valley CC 2022 RHP 2234 rpm


Average Induced Vertical Movement

Induced vertical movement tracks how the ball rides through the zone, or sinks through the zone.  For the purpose of this board we are tracking which fastballs showed the most ride, typically leading to more swing and miss opportunities

Rank Name School HS Grad Year Pos IVB (avg)
1 Kobie Cushing Catawba Valley CC 2021 RHP 19.7 in
2 Reid Withers Catawba Valley CC 2022 SS 19.1 in

4 Tim Flanagan Catawba Valley CC 2022 RHP 16.4 in
5 Trace Baker UNC Wilmington 2022 RHP 15.9 in


Average Horizontal Movement

Horizontal movement is often referred to as run.  This measurement does not distinguish between early and late movement, just the overall amount the ball tracks to the arm side out of the hand.

Rank Name School HS Grad Year Pos HM (avg)
1 Kobie Cushing Catawba Valley CC 2021 RHP -14.0
2 Clint Turner Catawba Valley CC 2022 RHP -13.8

4 JD Lewis Catawba Valley CC 2020 RHP -11.8
5 Reid Withers Catawba Valley CC 2022 SS -11.5


Peak Spin Score

The Spin Score is a measurement linking velocity and spin.  It is calculated by dividing the spin rate by the velocity of each pitch.  

Rank Name School HS Grad Year Pos Spin Score (max)
1 Reid Withers Catawba Valley CC 2022 SS 28
2 Aiken Minton Catawba Valley CC 2020 SS 27

Average Induced Vertical Movement

This is a measurement of how much the ball drops from its original position and trajectory.  It does not measure how late the movement happens.  This can be referred to as depth on a breaking ball.
