2022 TN Preseason All State Showcase: Trackman Files
February 8, 2022
On Sunday, January 30th, The PBR Tennessee Staff wrapped up the 2022 Preseason All State Showcase at Showtime Sports Academy. The event featured over 90 of the best 2022-2025 prospects from all across the state in the two sessions.
Following up the Stat Story and the Quick Hits Session One, we’re continuing our post-event analysis by examining the data measured by our TrackMan units. The technology is able to capture information that’s difficult to capture by the naked eye, like pitch-by-pitch metrics and batted-ball data. We’ll explain more below:
MAX FASTBALL & PEAK SPIN RATE
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Velocity (max) |
1 | Cannon Rice | TN | Rossview | 2023 | RHP | 89.9 mph |
2 | England Bryan | TN | Middle Tennessee Christian | 2024 | RHP | 88.6 mph |
3 | Thomas Lankford | TN | Fairview | 2023 | RHP | 86.8 mph |
4 | Townsend Stevenson | TN | University School of Nashville | 2023 | RHP | 86.3 mph |
5 | Ryan Sweeney | TN | Centennial | 2023 | RHP | 86.2 mph |
6 | Jase Phillips | TN | East Hamilton | 2023 | RHP | 86.1 mph |
7 | Brycen Mcdonald | TN | Lewis Co High School | 2025 | RHP | 85.6 mph |
8 | William Price | TN | Knoxville Central | 2022 | RHP | 85.4 mph |
9 | Ean McCord | TN | Davidson Academy | 2025 | RHP | 85.3 mph |
10 | Jordan Jewell | TN | Lebanon High School | 2025 | RHP | 84.9 mph |
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Spin Rate (max) |
1 | Andrew Davis | TN | Brighton | 2023 | SS | 2372 rpm |
2 | Carter Waltz | TN | Springfield | 2023 | LHP | 2305 rpm |
3 | Jase Phillips | TN | East Hamilton | 2023 | RHP | 2302 rpm |
4 | Slader Tinker | TN | Daniel Boone | 2024 | 3B | 2302 rpm |
5 | Wyatt Guethlein | TN | Wilson Central | 2022 | RHP | 2299 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 | Anderson Franklin | TX | Whitney | 2025 | OF | 16.0 |
2 | Nolan Bernard | TN | McCallie | 2025 | RHP | 15.9 |
3 | Austin Jones | TN | East Robertson | 2023 | LHP | -15.8 |
4 | William Parker Davis | TN | Covington | 2023 | LHP | -15.6 |
5 | Konner Bowden | TN | Columbia Central | 2024 | OF | -15.2 |
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.”
