Prep Baseball Scouts were on hand at DPC Baseball Academy in Clayton, NC on August 14th for the final open ID event of the summer, the Triangle Summer ID.  The event gave high school players a chance to update their stats, analytics, and video as their summer season comes to an end.  The event was run in conjunction with the DPC Scout Day at DPC Baseball Academy.  The facility allowed players a chance to run through a full workout on an outdoor facility with access to the indoor area as needed.

The day began with a laser timed 60 followed by an offensive rotation and evaluation.  TrackMan tracked ball flight throughout the multiple rounds of BP taken on the field.  Following BP, players worked out at their defensive positions.  Pitchers then threw controlled bullpens.  Each player filled their personal Prep Baseball Scout Day with a head shot, stats, advanced analytics, and there will be a full workout video added in the coming week to 10 days.

Triangle Summer ID: TrackMan Analytics - Pitchers

FASTBALL STATS

Peak Velocity

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.

Peak Spin Rate

Average Spin Rate

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.

Peak Spin Score

The Spin Score is a measurement linking velocity and spin.  It is calculated by dividing the spin rate by the velocity of each pitch.  

CURVEBALL STATS

Peak Velocity

Peak Spin Rate

Average Spin Rate

Average Induced Vertical Movement

This is a measurement of how much the ball drops from its original position and trajectory.  It does not measure how late the movement happens.  This can be referred to as depth on a breaking ball.
