2020 Southern Ohio Prospect Games - Advanced Hitting Metrics

Notes:

• Recorded metrics are based off of Trackman and Blast technology.
• Exit Velocity:  Exit Velo is the speed of the baseball as it comes off the bat after contact.

2020 Southern Ohio Prospect Games - Advanced Pitching Metrics

Notes:

• Recorded velocities listed are from the game play session, taken from the Trackman device.

Fastball Spin Rates

The average fastball spin rate at the MLB level can range from 2050-2250 rpm. The average at the high school level will be lower, but can be hard to track as most pitchers that are getting spin rate readings, are typically more advanced. When looking at fastball spin rates, coaches and scouts are looking for pitchers that are outside the norm. High spin rate fastball, typically, tend to ride on hitter, creating swing and miss, and playing at the top of the strike zone. Low spin rate guys, typically, are creating some sink on their fastball, or the appearance that the fastball is diving.

The pure spin rate does not tell the whole story on any one pitch. Coaches and scouts are also evaluating spin efficiency and spin direction. They also want to see some consistency, pitch-to-pitch, on the release point. To learn more about Trackman data and what it all means, click here.

Name	Position	School	Class	Total Spin
Owen Harvey	RHP	Valley View	2022	1956-2262
Alex Boles	RHP	Waverly	2023	2211-2261
Steven Jones	RHP	Brookville	2021	1996-2250
Noah Tincher	LHP	Badin	2021	1928-2200
Quinn Benner	RHP	Mariemont	2022	1995-2194

Breaking Ball Spin Rates

Typically bigger spin can mean bigger break, but again on the breaking ball the spin efficiency can play a part. There are also studies that show the speed of the pitch can affect if the spin rate has a chance to take hold and create the break a pitcher is looking for.

Name	Position	School	Class	Total Spin
Steven Jones	RHP	Brookville	2021	2228-2383
Wyatt Fisher	RHP	Oak Hills	2021	2166-2314
Alex Boles	RHP	Waverly	2023	2113-2370
Colin Singer	RHP	Fairfield	2021	2047- 2207
