Future Games Trials: Miami - Data Dive
June 27, 2024
The Future Games Trials: Miami took place Tuesday, June 25 at Miami Christian School in Miami, FL. The event featured players from the 2025-2028 classes participating in a pro-style workout followed by bullpens in front of the Prep Baseball Florida Scouting Staff.
Inside today’s Data Dive, we will highlight the players with top metrics per Trackman, Blast, and Swift.
On Wednesday, we broke down the stat leaders from the more traditional categories in our Statistical Leaderboards. Today, we will take an even closer look at the players in attendance with the help of our tech partners, broken down by the categories and leaderboards below.

FASTBALL
MAX VELOCITY (MPH)
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Velocity (max) |
1 | Marcelo Young | FL | Coral Springs Charter | 2025 | RHP | 89.1 mph |
2 | Alan Soler | FL | True North Classical Academy | 2025 | LHP | 87.3 mph |
3 | Carlos Cantos | FL | BELEN JESUIT PREPARATORY SCHOOL, INC. | 2026 | RHP | 79.3 mph |
4 | Victory Morgan | FL | FLVS | 2026 | RHP | 79.0 mph |
SPIN RATE (AVG.)
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Spin Rate (avg) |
1 | Marcelo Young | FL | Coral Springs Charter | 2025 | RHP | 2121 rpm |
2 | Victory Morgan | FL | FLVS | 2026 | RHP | 1999 rpm |
3 | Alan Soler | FL | True North Classical Academy | 2025 | LHP | 1990 rpm |
4 | Carlos Cantos | FL | BELEN JESUIT PREPARATORY SCHOOL, INC. | 2026 | RHP | 1763 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.
SPIN EFFICIENCY% (AVG.)
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Spin Efficiency % (avg) |
1 | Carlos Cantos | FL | BELEN JESUIT PREPARATORY SCHOOL, INC. | 2026 | RHP | 94 % |
2 | Alan Soler | FL | True North Classical Academy | 2025 | LHP | 94 % |
3 | Victory Morgan | FL | FLVS | 2026 | RHP | 91 % |
4 | Marcelo Young | FL | Coral Springs Charter | 2025 | RHP | 86 % |
Spin Efficiency: This metric is the percentage of the raw spin rate that directly impacts pitch movement; so while raw spin is measured by revolutions per minute (rpm), spin efficiency is the ratio of true spin divided by raw spin. It’s important to understand that more is not always better when it comes to spin efficiency. The optimal spin efficiency on a pitch depends on the pitch type and should be understood in the context of a pitcher’s entire arsenal. Regarding the true four-seam fastball, a spin efficiency close to 100 percent is preferable, indicating that nearly all the backspin generated on the ball as it leaves the pitcher’s hand is contributing to the “riding” action the pitch has as it enters and exits the strike zone, making it especially effective in the upper third of the strike zone.
INDUCED VERTICAL BREAK (AVG.)
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | IVB (avg) |
1 | Alan Soler | FL | True North Classical Academy | 2025 | LHP | 18.6 in |
2 | Marcelo Young | FL | Coral Springs Charter | 2025 | RHP | 17.8 in |
3 | Carlos Cantos | FL | BELEN JESUIT PREPARATORY SCHOOL, INC. | 2026 | RHP | 16.0 in |
4 | Victory Morgan | FL | FLVS | 2026 | RHP | 13.4 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 | Victory Morgan | FL | FLVS | 2026 | RHP | 14.2 |
2 | Alan Soler | FL | True North Classical Academy | 2025 | LHP | -10.3 |
3 | Carlos Cantos | FL | BELEN JESUIT PREPARATORY SCHOOL, INC. | 2026 | RHP | 9.0 |
4 | Marcelo Young | FL | Coral Springs Charter | 2025 | RHP | 6.8 |
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.”

Rotational Acceleration: Rotation measures how quickly your bat accelerates into the swing plane. Rotation is a good indicator of how you build bat speed by sequencing properly vs. pulling the bat with your hands. The quicker your rotational acceleration, the more power you will have and the more time you have to make a decision at the plate.
