This past year saw our staff in Arizona hosted 20 in-state events and had five opportunities to showcase premiere talent in the state on a national/regional level with the Future Games, Senior Future Games, Junior Future Games, ProCase - West and West Coast Games. We also headed West into New Mexico to host the first ever New Mexico State Games with several of their high-profile players already going off the board less than a month after the event.

All of these showcases and national events allowed our Prep Baseball Arizona staff to collect metrics and data on each of these players, giving ourselves and evaluators a little more insight on what each prospect brings to the table. With all of those metrics, our staff will begin to break down some of the top metrics collected through our tech partners TrackMan, Blast Motion, VALD Performance and Vizual Edge.

Today, we will continue our 2024 Year in Review as we take a look at the top 15 Breaking Ball Spin Rates (via TrackMan) in each of the 2025 - 2027 classes, followed by plenty more of these leaderboards over the next several weeks.
