Ventura, Calif.- This past weekend Prep Baseball California completed their fall schedule of gameplay events with a trip up the coast to Ventura County for the Ventura County Uncommitted Game. With athletes from the '25-'28 class coming together to participate in a showcase workout and then live game action on the campus of Ventura College along the start of the Central Coast in California. 

The day got started with a Pro-Style showcase 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. As well, 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 the 10 pitchers in attendance stepped on the mound to face 5 hitters each in simulated live game play which gave our staff a look at the in game hitting, defense, pitching and base-running abilities of the players in performance.

Today, we will be taking a look at a leaders in the various categories captured by Trackman during the batting practice portion of the Ventura County Uncommitted Game event.

VENTURA COUNTY UNCOMMITTED GAME TRACKMAN PITCHING LEADERBOARD:

Max Fastball Velocity

The maximum velocity of the pitch measured right at release.

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.

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.

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.

Max Slider Velocity

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.

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 or inverse for a left handed pitcher. This metric measures the maximum spin rate of a pitcher's slider in rpms.

Max Changeup Velocity

This metric determines the speed of a changeup as it is released from the pitcher's hand.

Max Changeup Horizontal Movement

This metric measures the amount of horizontal run/fade to the arm side for a changeup.
