South Houston Preseason ID: TrackMan Files
January 20, 2023
ALVIN, TX - On Saturday, January 14th, the PBR TX staff traveled to Alvin College to host the South Houston Preseason ID. The event consisted of players from all high school classes participating in a pro style workout.
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 | Luke McLeod | TX | Hardin-Jefferson High School | 2025 | OF | 86.2 mph |
2 | Kolin Swindall | TX | Alvin | 2025 | RHP | 86.1 mph |
3 | Justin Pitcher | TX | clear falls | 2026 | RHP | 85.2 mph |
4 | Victor Coronado | TX | Lutheran South Academy | 2025 | SS | 83.7 mph |
5 | Jared Burdette | TX | Foster | 2024 | RHP | 83.4 mph |
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Spin Rate (max) |
1 | Kolin Swindall | TX | Alvin | 2025 | RHP | 2450 rpm |
2 | Justin Pitcher | TX | clear falls | 2026 | RHP | 2305 rpm |
3 | Caden Stambolis | TX | Taylor | 2026 | RHP | 2245 rpm |
4 | Anthony Fuentes | TX | Dickinson | 2025 | SS | 2235 rpm |
5 | Luke McLeod | TX | Hardin-Jefferson High School | 2025 | OF | 2219 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 | Andrew De Leon | TX | Laredo Alexander | 2025 | 1B | -16.6 |
2 | Caden Stambolis | TX | Taylor | 2026 | RHP | 12.7 |
3 | Jared Burdette | TX | Foster | 2024 | RHP | 12.2 |
4 | Luke McLeod | TX | Hardin-Jefferson High School | 2025 | OF | 10.9 |
5 | Victor Coronado | TX | Lutheran South Academy | 2025 | SS | 10.0 |
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.”
