Charlotte Preseason ID: TrackMan Pitching Leaders
February 6, 2024
Prep Baseball of North Carolina opened the 2024 event season with two Preseason IDs. On Sunday January 28th, On Deck Baseball Academy hosted Prep Baseball for the indoor event. A high level facility, players were able to go through athletic testing, positional evaluations, as well as pitching and BP evaluations. Prep Baseball scouts were on hand to run the event verify stats, and evaluate the players involved.
On Deck Baseball Academy offered plenty of room for players to stretch their arms while getting a good workout indoors. Players had room to run a laser timed 30, while catchers, infielders, and outfielders were able to stretch their arms in their evaluation phase. Pitchers threw off of indoor mounds on a day that saw rain pummel the Carolinas.
In all, twenty players took part in the event. Below we take a data dive into the results of the workout.

Average Effective Velocity
Effective velocity is taking into account the velocity of each pitch, its release distance, the pitches time to the plate / hitting area, and the pitches movement. With all of this information, Effective Velocity is allowing coaches and scouts to more accurately compare how a pitch is affecting a hitter.
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Eff Velocity (avg) |
1 | Luke Snell | NC | South Iredell High | 2026 | RHP | 84.2 mph |

Average Induced Vertical Movement
Induced vertical movement tracks how the ball rides through the zone, or sinks through the zone. For the purpose of this board we are tracking which fastballs showed the most ride, typically leading to more swing and miss opportunities

Average Horizontal Movement
Horizontal movement is often referred to as run. This measurement does not distinguish between early and late movement, just the overall amount the ball tracks to the arm side out of the hand.
