On June 22nd PBR VA/DC Staff held its Top Prospect Games Event that featured some of the best talent in the area. In this post event analysis we go inside the Trackman data from the on field BP and live outings by pitchers during the event and break down the leaders in some key categories. 

Top Fastball Velocity

Name School Class Top Velocity
Lincoln Lubsen Walsingham Academy 2021 88.4
Konner Eaton  Prince George 2021 86.7
Moses Brown V Menchville 2021 86.1
Cooper Newell Hickory 2022 85.2
Kyle Hardy Western Branc 2021 84.0

 

Top Fastball Spin Rate

The average spin rate on a Major League fastball is 2250-2350 RPMs. MLB fastballs with high spin tend to be thrown up in the zone because they appear to rise to hitters, causing the hitter to swing under them. Heavy sink fastballs have spin rates below 1800 and are thrown down in the zone to take advantage of that.

Top Breaking Ball Spin Rate

The average spin rate on a Major League curveball is 2500-2600 RPMs and a slider is 2400-2500 RPM. Elite MLB breaking balls spin at over 3000 RPMs.
