MAX FASTBALL
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Velocity (max) |
1 | Calvin Robinson | MS | Northwest Rankin | 2024 | LHP | 85.2 mph |
2 | Tristan Hendrix | MS | Hatley | 2025 | SS | 85.1 mph |
3 | Jackson Howard | MS | Columbus Christian | 2023 | RHP | 82.7 mph |
4 | Carter Hathcock | MS | Kirk Academy | 2024 | 3B | 82.5 mph |
5 | Davis Torrey | MS | Madison Central | 2023 | RHP | 79.4 mph |
Max Fastball Velocity: This metric calculates the speed of the pitch as it’s released from the pitcher’s hand.
PEAK SPIN RATE
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Spin Rate (max) |
1 | Brant Rounsaville | MS | GULFPORT HIGH SCHOOL | 2026 | 3B | 2205 rpm |
2 | Jackson Howard | MS | Columbus Christian | 2023 | RHP | 2188 rpm |
3 | Calvin Robinson | MS | Northwest Rankin | 2024 | LHP | 2167 rpm |
4 | Davis Torrey | MS | Madison Central | 2023 | RHP | 2156 rpm |
5 | Landon Hoshell | MS | North Delta | 2025 | RHP | 2119 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.
