Vancouver Fall Open ID: Pitching Data Dive
October 31, 2023
On Saturday, October 28th the PBR British Columbia staff hosted it's third showcase of the fall with the Vancouver Fall Open ID at Tourmaline West Stadium in Vancouver, British Columbia. This event featured over 47 players from the across the province in the 2024 - 2027 classes and allowed our staff an opportunity to get an in-depth look at the players, as well as collect updated metrics via our tech partner TrackMan.
Earlier this week, we broke down the top measurable data performers from the event with our Statistical Analysis. Now, we will take a further in-depth look at the top pitchers with the help of our tech partnerships, broken down by the categories down below:

FASTBALL
MAX VELOCITY (MPH)
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Velocity (max) |
1 | Evan Dugdale | BC | Meadow Ridge | 2025 | OF | 87.3 mph |
2 | Everett Bertsch | BC | Riverside Secondary | 2025 | RHP | 86.1 mph |
3 | Jake Fehr | BC | Sands Secondary | 2025 | RHP | 85.5 mph |
4 | Ben McKinnon | BC | Semiahmoo | 2024 | RHP | 85.1 mph |
5 | Trevor Holme | BC | Ballenas | 2025 | RHP | 84.7 mph |
6 | Nicklas Ohman | BC | Oak Bay | 2024 | LHP | 84.6 mph |
7 | Noah del Rosario | BC | Sands | 2024 | RHP | 83.7 mph |
8 | Finley McConnell | BC | South Delta | 2024 | RHP | 81.8 mph |
9 | Nolan Galloway | BC | Dover Bay | 2025 | RHP | 80.1 mph |
10 | Joesiah Ancheta | BC | David Thompson | 2025 | 3B | 79.3 mph |
Max Fastball Velocity: This metric calculates the speed of the pitch as it’s released from the pitcher’s hand.
SPIN RATE (AVG)
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Spin Rate (avg) |
1 | Evan Dugdale | BC | Meadow Ridge | 2025 | OF | 2433 rpm |
2 | Jake Fehr | BC | Sands Secondary | 2025 | RHP | 2400 rpm |
3 | Maddock Day | BC | École Salish | 2024 | RHP | 2217 rpm |
4 | Raymond Bottin | BC | Notre Dame Regional | 2024 | RHP | 2211 rpm |
5 | Noah del Rosario | BC | Sands | 2024 | RHP | 2194 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.
INDUCED VERTICAL BREAK (AVG.)
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | IVB (avg) |
1 | Raymond Bottin | BC | Notre Dame Regional | 2024 | RHP | 20.7 in |
2 | Finley McConnell | BC | South Delta | 2024 | RHP | 20.3 in |
3 | Sam Persaud | BC | Elgin Park Secondary | 2024 | LHP | 19.2 in |
4 | Evan Dugdale | BC | Meadow Ridge | 2025 | OF | 19.2 in |
5 | Nicholas Horn | BC | Rockridge | 2024 | OF | 18.7 in |
Induced Vertical Break: Used in short form as "IVB," this metric is most important on fastballs for creating rise and on curveballs for creating depth – it can also have some use when measuring sliders and cutters as well. Sliders tend to be closer to zero inches while cutters are generally between 5 and 15 inches. Usually fastballs and curveballs with large IVB have higher spin efficiencies as well. Sliders generally have very little (closer to zero) IVB and very low spin efficiency. You could also categorize IVB into spin rate as this is part of the “useful movement” you’re looking for. IVB is also a huge part of the vertical approach angle.
HORIZONTAL MOVEMENT (AVG.)
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | HM (avg) |
1 | Maddock Day | BC | École Salish | 2024 | RHP | 22.7 |
2 | Ben McKinnon | BC | Semiahmoo | 2024 | RHP | 13.3 |
3 | Trevor Holme | BC | Ballenas | 2025 | RHP | 13.0 |
4 | Sam Persaud | BC | Elgin Park Secondary | 2024 | LHP | -13.0 |
5 | Ezra Murti | BC | Seaquam | 2024 | RHP | 12.0 |
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.”
