Alabama All-State Games: Trackman Files
July 14, 2023
TROY, AL - The Alabama All-State Games was held on Tuesday, July 11th at Riddle Pace Field at Troy University in Troy, AL. This event was an invite-only event that consisted of some of the top prospects from the 2024-2027 classes. These players went through a pro-style workout and took batting practice using Trackman and Blast Motion to record hitting metrics. Pitchers were able to throw in simulated outings facing hitters during gameplay and were able to get numbers and metrics off of our Trackman unit, such as pitch velocity, spin rate, horizontal & vertical movement & much more. There were some players who showed up and continued to build off of prior performances, but there were also some new names who jumped onto our radar with a strong showing on Tuesday.
Continuing off our post-event coverage for this event, we take a look back at some of the leaders from each statistical category recorded on the Trackman B1 unit. Please continue to check back over the next week, as we will release individual scouting reports on each player present at the event.

Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Spin Rate (avg) |
1 | Bryson Morman | AL | Oak Mountain | 2024 | RHP | 2238 rpm |
2 | Hudson Gilman | AL | Oxford | 2025 | C | 2169 rpm |
3 | Jamarkius Smith | AL | Reeltown High School | 2027 | RHP | 2138 rpm |
4 | Teague Broadhead | AL | Bayside Academy | 2024 | RHP | 2062 rpm |
5 | Enrique Gimenez | AL | Mountain Brook | 2026 | 1B | 2053 rpm |
Max Fastball Velocity: This metric calculates the speed of the pitch as it’s released from the pitcher’s hand.
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.
AVERAGE FASTBALL HORIZONTAL MOVEMENT
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | HM (avg) |
1 | Jamarkius Smith | AL | Reeltown High School | 2027 | RHP | 16.0 |
2 | Bryson Morman | AL | Oak Mountain | 2024 | RHP | 14.5 |
3 | Micah Morris | AL | Shelby County | 2024 | RHP | 13.1 |
4 | Tate Farrell | AL | St Paul's Episcopal | 2026 | OF | 12.9 |
5 | Jacob Alexander | AL | Deshler High School | 2025 | RHP | 12.6 |
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.”
AVERAGE CURVEBALL SPIN RATE
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Spin Rate (avg) |
1 | Teague Broadhead | AL | Bayside Academy | 2024 | RHP | 2383 rpm |

3 | Tate Farrell | AL | St Paul's Episcopal | 2026 | OF | 2295 rpm |
4 | Hudson Gilman | AL | Oxford | 2025 | C | 2263 rpm |
5 | Landon Nelson | AL | Alabama Christian Academy | 2024 | SS | 2226 rpm |
Spin Rate: The metric calculates how fast the ball is spinning as it leaves the pitcher’s hand, reported in the number of times the pitched ball would spin per minute (“revolutions per minute” or “rpm”).
AVERAGE SLIDER SPIN RATE
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Spin Rate (avg) |
1 | Bryson Morman | AL | Oak Mountain | 2024 | RHP | 2473 |

5 | Braden Martin | AL | Lee-Scott Academy | 2027 | LHP | 1802 |
Spin Rate: The metric calculates how fast the ball is spinning as it leaves the pitcher’s hand, reported in the number of times the pitched ball would spin per minute (“revolutions per minute” or “rpm”).
AVERAGE CHANGEUP HORIZONTAL MOVEMENT

5 | Michael McCullough | AL | Magnolia | 2026 | 1B | -9.1 |
Horizontal Break: This metric measures the distance, 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.
