Tennessee Preseason All-State: TrackMan Files, 2026 Class
February 16, 2024
GALLATIN, TN - The Tennessee Preseason All-State was held on Saturday, February 10th at Liberty Creek HS in Gallatin, TN. This event was an invite-only event that consisted of players from the 2024-2027 classes from Volunteer state. Players went through an extended pro-style workout that included batting practice using Trackman, ran the 60-yard dash using Swift Performance, and much more. Pitchers were able to get numbers and metrics on TrackMan. There were some players who showed up and continued to build off of prior performances, but there were also some new names who jumped onto our radar with a strong showing at the event.
Continuing our post-event coverage for this event, we take a look at some of the standouts and top performers from the event.

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 | Thomas Evans | TN | THE WEBB SCHOOL | 2026 | OF | 16.6 |
2 | Micah Freeman | TN | Oakland | 2026 | RHP | 15.0 |
3 | Joey Ansell | TN | BRENTWOOD ACADEMY | 2026 | LHP | -14.8 |
4 | Ryan Edwards | TN | THE WEBB SCHOOL | 2026 | SS | 14.8 |
5 | Cade Allen | TN | South Gibson County High School | 2026 | RHP | 14.6 |
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.”
AVERAGE SLIDER SPIN RATE

4 | Jackson Allen | TN | Brentwood High School | 2026 | OF | 2283 |
5 | Porter Murff | TN | Clarksville High | 2026 | LHP | 2274 |
Spin Rate: The metric calculates how fast the ball is spinning as it leaves the pitcher’s hand, reported in the number of times the pitched ball would spin per minute (“revolutions per minute” or “rpm”).

5 | Cade Allen | TN | South Gibson County High School | 2026 | RHP | 15.9 |
Horizontal Break: This metric measures the distance, 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.
