TrackMan Files - Seattle Preseason ID

Staff Writer, Associate Scout

On Jan. 28th, the PBR Washington team hosted its first event of 2023, the Seattle Preseason ID, at the EL1 Sports Facility in Puyallup, Was. This was an open event for all high school classes (2023-26) and gave our staff an ample look at the area's top players.

If you missed us in Puyallup, check out our showcase page to see when we’re in the neighborhood next.

Earlier this week we published Quick Hits highlighting the top prospects of the event by class. We also rolled out a Statistical Analysis pointing out the top recorded stats by category. Now we'll continue to roll out the data we gathered from this event, starting with the analytics we have at our disposal from our TrackMan units. Below we'll look at which players had noteworthy batted ball and pitch metric data.

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 Tommy Zook WA Archbishop Murphy 2024 RHP 14.6
2 Talan Robertson WA Rogers 2026 3B 13.1
3 Dillon Carrell WA Shorecrest 2024 LHP -12.3
4 Andrew Hernandez WA Kamiak 2025 LHP -11.6
5 Atticus Manning WA Kamiak 2024 RHP 10.9
6 Andrew Recob WA Eastlake 2024 RHP 10.4
7 Bradley Dinelt WA Curtis 2026 OF -10.1
8 Joey Fisher WA Anacortes 2024 RHP 9.9
9 Joshua Manaois WA Kentlake 2026 RHP 9.8
10 Baker Riffle WA Mercer Island 2024 RHP 9.6

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.”
