Fall Rising Stars ID: Data Dive
September 27, 2022
PBR Georgia hosted the Fall Rising Stars ID on Thursday, September 22nd at LakePoint Sports in Emerson, GA. This event, for the class of 2027 and 2028 grads, is intended to provide younger prospects a glimpse of what a showcase is all about. Prospects participated in a pro-style workout, just as their high school counterparts do. All-in-all, 22 prospects made their way to Emerson, along with 14 pitchers.
We began our event analysis with a look at the traditionally collected statistics in the Stats Story: 60 yard dash, exit velocity, arm strength, and pop times. Today, we are going to take a deeper dive into the statistics collected from our Swift Performance timing gates and our TrackMan unit. In the coming days we will also release a "Quick Hits" story with our staff's initial thoughts on some of the standout prospects from the event. Until then, take a peak at some of the advanced metrics collected.

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.

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.”
