All-State Games South: TrackMan Files
October 8, 2021
On Sunday, October 3rd, the PBR Texa staff hosted the All-State Games South at Sam Houston State University.
Today, we’re continuing our post-event analysis by examining the data measured by our TrackMan units. The technology is able to capture information that’s difficult to capture by the naked eye, like pitch-by-pitch metrics and batted-ball data. We’ll explain more below:
MAX FASTBALL & PEAK SPIN RATE
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Velocity (max) |
1 | Dalton Olsovsky | TX | Keller | 2023 | C | 88.2 mph |
2 | Colt Ericson | TX | Barbers Hill | 2023 | 1B | 87.8 mph |
3 | Briley Van | TX | Barbers Hill | 2023 | RHP | 87.7 mph |
4 | Colin Huspen | TX | Allen | 2022 | RHP | 87.3 mph |
5 | Hayden Tronson | TX | Deer Park | 2022 | RHP | 87.2 mph |
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Spin Rate (max) |
1 | Briley Van | TX | Barbers Hill | 2023 | RHP | 2421 rpm |
2 | Mason Kinchen | TX | Grand Oaks | 2025 | LHP | 2318 rpm |
3 | Jack Wilhelm | TX | Concordia Lutheran | 2022 | RHP | 2293 rpm |
4 | Kyle Lockhart | TX | Friendswood | 2024 | RHP | 2265 rpm |
5 | Colin Huspen | TX | Allen | 2022 | RHP | 2231 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 | Colin Huspen | TX | Allen | 2022 | RHP | 17.7 |
2 | Dalton Olsovsky | TX | Keller | 2023 | C | 15.8 |
3 | Brock Rod | TX | El Campo | 2023 | OF | -15.1 |
4 | Briley Van | TX | Barbers Hill | 2023 | RHP | 12.9 |
5 | Mason Kinchen | TX | Grand Oaks | 2025 | LHP | -12.8 |
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.”
