Pacific Northwest Preseason All-State & Preseason ID TrackMan Files: Upperclass

February 16, 2022

On February 5th and 6th, the PBR Washington and Oregon staff hosted two of the winter’s most attended events: the Pacific Northwest Preseason All-State and the Pacific Northwest Preseason ID. These events featured 250+ participants from the 2022-to-2026 classes in total and provided our staff with an ample opportunity to get an up-close look at our region’s top players prior to the high school season commencing.

Last week we published an Upperclass Statistical Release from both events, highlighting which players representing the 2022 and 2023 classes in both states that popped from a numerical standpoint across the two showcases.

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 units. 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.

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

9	Kellen Segel	OR	Grant	2023	RHP	13.6
10	Jackson Werner	WA	Skyline	2023	SS	12.9

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.”
