This fall; PBR Iowa barn-stormed across the state conducting scout days for six different junior college programs. The stats are just one piece of the puzzle in evaluating prospects. With that said; the Iowa Community College Athletic Conference is loaded with tooled up prospects looking for opportunities at the 4-year level. The events featured prospects from the freshman and sophomore classes; and included many breakout performances from the players in attendance. Players showcased their talents in front of our scouting staff and numerous MLB Scouts in attendance at each location.

A special Thank You to all the players and coaches from each program. The PBR IA Juco Scout Day events were a huge success and we look forward to continuing these in the future.

Below we have listed our composite leaderboards with the statistics accumulated from all the Scout Days we have accomplished throughout the month of September & October.

FASTBALL STATS

          

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.

 

Peak Velocity

Average Effective Velocity

Effective velocity is taking into account the velocity of each pitch, it release distance, the pitches time to the plate / hitting area, and the pitches movement.  With all of this information, Effective Velocity is allowing coaches and scouts to more accurately compare how a pitch is affecting a hitter.

Average Spin Rate

Average Induced Vertical Movement

Average Horizontal Movement

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.”
