New Episode LIVE now! At The Yard Podcast

LATHROP, CALIF. - Bay Area World Series (BAWS) 2022 was held once again at Islanders Field in Lathrop (CA). There were nearly 140 players in attendance over the three days and a lot of data and stats were gathered. This was year 19 for BAWS and we look forward to covering the two decade anniversary of this event in 2023.

Players ran a 60, threw from their positions, took BP, and then each position player competed in three games, where the pitchers' velocities for their various pitches were recorded using TrackMan, during game action. 

BAWS 2022 FULL STATS & TRACKMAN DATA

Prep Baseball Report California events across the country have been powered by TrackMan’s industry-leading portable system to capture pinpoint accurate, actionable data from player performances. Prep Baseball Report and TrackMan are dedicated to recognizing talent and unleashing their potential.

At the event all pitchers pitches were monitored through the portable Trackman B1 unit. Each player threw their complete arsenal of pitches allowing us to collect metrics such as release velocity, spin rate, vertical & horizontal movement and much more.

This data goes directly into the player profiles allowing the PBR Staff, college coaches and professional scouts alike to evaluate and compare prospects on a national scale.

Some of the advanced metrics gathered, available for subscribers to PBR Plus: effective velocity, max & avg IVB, max & avg horizontal movement, extension avg, release height avg, zone %

Spin Rate is defined as how fast the ball is spinning as it leaves the pitcher's hand, measured in "Revolutions per Minute or RPM"

Spin Score (listed in the sortable player stats link below) = Spin Rate (RPM) / Velocity (MPH)

Driveline Baseball on Spin Score: Spin Scores are intended to control for velocity when looking at spin rate. The equation was intended to be simple enough for coaches and players to use quickly in practice to compare pitchers to MLB average.

We will roll out more content, including the reports, in the coming days.
