Natural State Games: Pitcher's Data Dive
October 27, 2022
Prep Baseball Report Arkansas hosted the Natural State Games on Saturday October 22nd featuring one of the more talented fields we have seen in one event. Today we take a look at some of the top leaders in data collected by our tech partners Trackman and Blast Motion broken down by class. With the help from the data collected by Trackman we can get deeper into each pitch explaining what makes a pitch so effective that we might not be able to capture by the naked eye. We break down the top velocities, spin rates, horizontal breaks, and induced vertical break on the top fastballs, curveballs, and sliders from the event.
