We would like to thank all who participated in PBR Ohio's 2020 Scout Day: Miami Valley Prospects. This was a great opportunity for the class of 2021-2023 prospects to be put on college radars. Many players impressed during their individual workouts at the showcase. Below we have the complete statistical results from the event as well as the top performers across various different categories.

2020 Scout Day: Miami Valley Prospects - Advanced Hitting Metrics With Rapsodo

Notes:

• Recorded metrics are based off of Rapsodo 2.0 technology.
• Exit Velocity:  Exit Velo is the speed of the baseball as it comes off the bat after contact.

2020 Scout Day: Miami Valley Prospects - Advanced Pitching Metrics With PitchLogic

Notes:

• Recorded velocities listed are from the game play session, taken off of a stalker radar gun.
• Total Spin (rpm): The total amount of rotations per minute put on the baseball out of the hand.
• Spin Efficiency: Ratio of transverse to total spin... simple meaning is a higher efficiency yields more movement.

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.

Name	Position	School	Class	Total Spin
Jake Nichols	RHP	Northeastern	2021	2100-2300
Andrew Yeary	RHP	Fairborn	2021	2000-2200
Alexander James	RHP	Vandalia Butler	2022	1900-2100
Steven Jones	RHP	Brookville	2021	1900-2100
Trey Davis	RHP	Tippecanoe	2022	1800-2000
Hunter Warner	RHP	Fairborn	2021	1800-2000

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.  Below is a look at each pitcher that threw his breaking ball and what the analytics of each pitch looked like with the PitchLogic baseball.

Name	Position	School	Class	Total Spin
Jake Nichols	RHP	Northeastern	2021	2200-2400
Steven Jones	RHP	Brookville	2021	2100-2300
Hunter Warner	RHP	Fairborn	2021	2000-2200
Cayden Borchers	LHP	Vandalia Butler	2023	1900-2100
Kaden Echeman	RHP	Vandalia Butler	2021	1900-2100
Cameron Henrdricks	RHP	Vandalia Butler	2021	1900-2100
