Top Prospect Games (Upperclass): TrackMan Files
June 12, 2022
On June 7th & 8th, the PBR Tennessee staff hosted the Top Prospect Games (Upperclass) showcase at Friendship Christian School in Lebanon, TN, featuring many of the state’s top players inside both the 2023 and 2024 classes. Inside today’s TrackMan Files, we’re highlighting the best of the best – the talent that exited the event with arrows pointed way up headed into the summer.
Earlier this week we published Quick Hits highlighting the top prospects of the event. We also rolled out a Statistical Leaderboard pointing out the top recorded stats by category.
Now we'll continue to roll out the data we gathered from this event, starting with the analytics we have at our disposal from our TrackMan unit. Below we'll look at which players had noteworthy batted ball and pitch metric data.

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 | Alec Bouchard | TN | Notre Dame | 2023 | RHP | 2538 rpm |
2 | Pete Daniel | TN | Ensworth | 2023 | SS | 2465 rpm |
3 | Jase Phillips | TN | East Hamilton | 2023 | RHP | 2441 rpm |
4 | Caleb Coffey | TN | Father Ryan | 2023 | OF | 2440 rpm |
5 | Brady Hendrix | TN | Summit | 2023 | SS | 2421 rpm |
6 | Miles Harper Jr | TN | Bartlett | 2023 | RHP | 2358 rpm |
7 | Keaton Reese | TN | Mt. Juliet | 2023 | RHP | 2297 rpm |
8 | Matthew Shorey | TN | Father Ryan | 2024 | LHP | 2263 rpm |
9 | Elijah Stockton | TN | Friendship Christian | 2024 | C | 2214 rpm |
10 | Ryan Smith | TN | Science Hill | 2023 | RHP | 2191 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.
