Preseason All-State East: Trackman Pitching Leaders
February 15, 2024
The Preseason All-State events in North Carolina have quickly become the top winter events for the top players in the state to attend. This year there are 3 Preseason All-State events with the East and West happening on February 3rd and 4th. The Preseason All-State Central is scheduled for February 10th. These three events will see over 250 of North Carolina's top players, as they are ready to post numbers and go through a workout in preparation for the spring season. Prep Baseball scouts were on hand to run the event verify stats, and evaluate the players involved.
The Preseason All-State has made Next Level Training Center in Greenville, NC its home for 4 years. Next Level is a tremendous facility that offers a spacious workout facility. Players had plenty or room to run a laser timed 30, while catchers, infielders, and outfielders were able to stretch their arms in their evaluation phase. Pitchers threw off of indoor mounds. During BP, players were able to see the ball fly over 100 feet off the bat with the setup at Next Level.
The Preseason All-State featured 73 of North Carolina's top talent, with a heavy leaning to those players that attend school in the Triangle area and east. Below we take a data dive into the results of the workout.

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.
