Northern Nevada Fall ID: Pitching Data Dive
November 16, 2023
On Saturday, November 11th, the PBR Nevada staff hosted it's final ID event of the year with the Northern Nevada Fall ID hosted at Bishop Manogue Catholic High School in Reno, Nevada. This event featured roughly 30 players from the Northern part of the State in the 2024 - 2027 classes and allowed our staff an opportunity to get an in-depth look and analysis of the players in attendance.
Earlier this week, we broke down the top measurable data performers from the event with our Statistical Analysis. Now, we will take a further in-depth look at the top pitchers with the help of our tech partnerships, broken down by the categories down below:

FASTBALL
MAX VELOCITY (MPH)
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Velocity (max) |
1 | Jackson Trueblood | NV | Spanish Springs | 2026 | RHP | 85.9 mph |
2 | Ty Ramsey | NV | Robert McQueen | 2025 | SS | 82.5 mph |
3 | Duncan DeLange | NV | Douglas High School | 2025 | RHP | 81.9 mph |
4 | Mac Vandegrift | NV | Reno | 2026 | 3B | 80.7 mph |
5 | Jordan Sieben | NV | Carson | 2024 | RHP | 79.7 mph |
Max Fastball Velocity: This metric calculates the speed of the pitch as it’s released from the pitcher’s hand.
SPIN RATE (AVG)
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Spin Rate (avg) |
1 | Ty Ramsey | NV | Robert McQueen | 2025 | SS | 2206 rpm |
2 | Jackson Trueblood | NV | Spanish Springs | 2026 | RHP | 2181 rpm |
3 | Nolan Yount | NV | Bishop Manogue | 2026 | RHP | 1951 rpm |
4 | Jordan Sieben | NV | Carson | 2024 | RHP | 1890 rpm |
5 | Slade Morin | NV | Bishop Manogue Catholic | 2026 | LHP | 1826 rpm |
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.
INDUCED VERTICAL BREAK (AVG.)
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | IVB (avg) |
1 | Jackson Trueblood | NV | Spanish Springs | 2026 | RHP | 18.1 in |
2 | Chance Kirby | NV | Bishop Manogue | 2026 | RHP | 15.6 in |
3 | Jayden Peters | NV | Edward C. Reed | 2026 | LHP | 14.2 in |
4 | Mac Vandegrift | NV | Reno | 2026 | 3B | 13.9 in |
5 | Nolan Yount | NV | Bishop Manogue | 2026 | RHP | 13.4 in |
Induced Vertical Break: Used in short form as "IVB," this metric is most important on fastballs for creating rise and on curveballs for creating depth – it can also have some use when measuring sliders and cutters as well. Sliders tend to be closer to zero inches while cutters are generally between 5 and 15 inches. Usually fastballs and curveballs with large IVB have higher spin efficiencies as well. Sliders generally have very little (closer to zero) IVB and very low spin efficiency. You could also categorize IVB into spin rate as this is part of the “useful movement” you’re looking for. IVB is also a huge part of the vertical approach angle.
HORIZONTAL MOVEMENT (AVG.)
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | HM (avg) |
1 | Nolan Yount | NV | Bishop Manogue | 2026 | RHP | 15.2 |
2 | Mac Vandegrift | NV | Reno | 2026 | 3B | 11.4 |
3 | Chance Kirby | NV | Bishop Manogue | 2026 | RHP | 11.1 |
4 | Jackson Trueblood | NV | Spanish Springs | 2026 | RHP | 10.5 |
5 | Duncan DeLange | NV | Douglas High School | 2025 | RHP | 10.4 |
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.”
