FULLERTON, CALIF. - Last weekend was the 6th annual edition of the California State Games the premier invite-only event in California, hosted at Fullerton College. This event brought together top players from the '25-'28 classes together in one location to conclude the summer schedule across California before the start of school and the fall events schedule.
The collection of talent that was on display in Orange County for the CA State Games was quite impressive. The weekend got started with a pro-style workout for all position players/two-way players in attendance. Players received athletic testing on the Swift platforms including 10-30-60 yard sprint times and RSI/Vertical Jump testing. Blast Motion sensors were in use for all batting practice swings to collect swing metric data while Trackman technologies provided the Prep Baseball California staff with batted ball data on each player throughout the batting practice portion. Additionally, players worked out at their positions during the defensive portion of the workout to collect arm strength velocities while evaluating actions of each player defensively. At the conclusion of the workout 8 teams organized by the Prep Baseball California staff would play two 8-inning simulated games (5 batters per inning) spanning 8 total games over the 3 day event to give our staff an extensive opportunity to continue to build their in-game evaluations of the players in attendance at the California State Games.

CATEGORICAL LEADERS
Max Fastball Velocity
The maximum velocity of the pitch measured right at release.
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Velocity (max) |
1 | Alexander Elizondo | CA | Murrieta Valley High | 2027 | OF | 92.3 mph |
2 | Cash Dabbs | CA | Redlands East Valley High | 2025 | RHP | 90.7 mph |
3 | Gavin Cervantes | CA | St. John Bosco | 2026 | RHP | 90.0 mph |
4 | Jose Borrego | CA | Sultana High | 2026 | C | 89.9 mph |
5 | Freddie Angiuli | CA | Huntington Beach High | 2025 | RHP | 89.3 mph |
6 | Cole Hoffman | CA | Del Norte | 2025 | RHP | 89.1 mph |
7 | Jameson Berigan | CA | Thousand Oaks High | 2026 | RHP | 88.9 mph |
8 | Gavin Guy | CA | Newport Harbor | 2026 | 3B | 88.6 mph |
9 | Jake Ourique | CA | Gahr | 2026 | RHP | 88.5 mph |
10 | Tomas Bilvado | CA | San Marino High | 2025 | RHP | 88.2 mph |
Max Fastball Spin Rate
The max amount of revolutions per minute (rpm) of a pitch. For fastballs, a higher rpm causes the ball to drop less due to gravity, this gives the illusion of a rising pitch.
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Spin Rate (max) |
1 | Jose Borrego | CA | Sultana High | 2026 | C | 2576 rpm |
2 | Gavin Cervantes | CA | St. John Bosco | 2026 | RHP | 2559 rpm |
3 | Chase McGill | CA | California | 2025 | RHP | 2555 rpm |
4 | Julian Oliver | CA | Novato High | 2026 | 3B | 2513 rpm |
5 | Gavin Guy | CA | Newport Harbor | 2026 | 3B | 2491 rpm |
6 | Joseph Flores Jr. | CA | Arlington | 2027 | SS | 2473 rpm |
7 | Carter Head | CA | Arnold O. Beckman High | 2026 | RHP | 2466 rpm |
8 | Jackson Ranney | CA | Notre Dame Sherman Oaks | 2025 | OF | 2457 rpm |
9 | Camden Salisbury | CA | C. K. McClatchy High | 2027 | RHP | 2438 rpm |
10 | Jameson Berigan | CA | Thousand Oaks High | 2026 | RHP | 2432 rpm |
Max Curveball Velocity
Like many things in baseball, the faster the better. A fast off-speed pitch while maintaining traditional movement patterns makes the pitch harder to hit. The measured velocity for this metric is right as the pitch leaves the hand.
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Velocity (max) |
1 | Cole Hoffman | CA | Del Norte | 2025 | RHP | 77.1 mph |
2 | Logan Steenburgen | CA | El Dorado High | 2026 | RHP | 73.8 mph |
3 | Griffin Vorhaus | CA | Novato High | 2026 | RHP | 73.3 mph |
4 | Kyle Underwood | CA | SERVITE HIGH SCHOOL | 2027 | LHP | 71.9 mph |
5 | Garrett Gandolfo | CA | San Juan Hills | 2026 | RHP | 71.1 mph |
6 | Camden Salisbury | CA | C. K. McClatchy High | 2027 | RHP | 70.7 mph |
7 | Marcus McQueen | CA | Cajon | 2025 | RHP | 70.6 mph |
8 | Wren Woods | CA | Palos Verdes High | 2025 | RHP | 70.2 mph |
9 | Adam Whyte | CA | Tustin | 2026 | OF | 70.0 mph |
10 | Evan Hesse | CA | Huntington Beach | 2025 | RHP | 68.8 mph |
Max Curveball Spin Rate
The spin rate for a curveball tends to be the highest among all the pitches in a pitcher's arsenal. A higher spin rate, measured in rpms, on a curveball generally means more downward movement when combined with the top spin of the pitch.
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Spin Rate (max) |
1 | Wren Woods | CA | Palos Verdes High | 2025 | RHP | 2401 rpm |
2 | Griffin Vorhaus | CA | Novato High | 2026 | RHP | 2371 rpm |
3 | Garrett Gandolfo | CA | San Juan Hills | 2026 | RHP | 2319 rpm |
4 | Cole Hoffman | CA | Del Norte | 2025 | RHP | 2310 rpm |
5 | Camden Salisbury | CA | C. K. McClatchy High | 2027 | RHP | 2268 rpm |
6 | Marcus McQueen | CA | Cajon | 2025 | RHP | 2237 rpm |
7 | Logan Steenburgen | CA | El Dorado High | 2026 | RHP | 2181 rpm |
8 | Adam Whyte | CA | Tustin | 2026 | OF | 2039 rpm |
9 | Caden Miller | CA | Orange Lutheran | 2025 | LHP | 1965 rpm |
10 | Kyle Underwood | CA | SERVITE HIGH SCHOOL | 2027 | LHP | 1921 rpm |

Sliders generally are faster than most other off-speed pitches with less overall movement. This metric measures the speed of the slider when it comes out of the hand.
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Velocity (max) |
1 | Trevor Banning | CA | Santa Margarita Catholic | 2025 | SS | 81.6 mph |
2 | Cash Dabbs | CA | Redlands East Valley High | 2025 | RHP | 80.7 mph |

10 | Jaxson Cook | CA | Bella Vista High | 2026 | 3B | 77.3 mph |
Max Slider Spin Rate
The higher the spin rate for a horizontal pitch like the slider means that it will have more movement from right to left for a right handed pitcher. This metric measures the maximum spin rate of a pitcher's slider in rpms.
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Spin Rate (max) |
1 | Tomas Bilvado | CA | San Marino High | 2025 | RHP | 2819 rpm |
