Baton Rouge Fall ID: Trackman Files (Pitchers)
October 20, 2023
Baton Rouge, LA - The Baton Rouge Fall I.D. was held on Sunday October 15, 2023, at Catholic (BR) High School. This was our last event of the fall and consisted of uncommitted prospects from the 2024-2027 high school classes. All players in attendance went through an extended pro-style workout, that included batting practice using Trackman and Blast, the 60 yard dash using Swift Performance, and much more. After the completion of the workout, all pitchers were able to throw a bullpen using Trackman Baseball to capture critical data and metrics such as fastball velocity, vertical/horizontal break, spin rate, and much more.
Today, with the help of one of our tech partners, Trackman Baseball, we continue our post-event coverage with a closer look at the top Trackman metrics and data from the pitchers in attendance at last Sunday's Baton Rouge Fall ID.

Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Spin Rate (avg) |
1 | Will Robinson | LA | PARKVIEW BAPTIST SCHOOL | 2025 | RHP | 2272 rpm |
2 | Chase Thibodeaux | LA | Denham Springs | 2025 | OF | 2157 rpm |
3 | Jordan Isbell | LA | Lakeside | 2024 | LHP | 2134 rpm |

Max Fastball Velocity: This metric calculates the speed of the pitch as it’s released from the pitcher’s hand.
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.
AVERAGE FASTBALL HORIZONTAL MOVEMENT
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | HM (avg) |
1 | Bennett Smith | LA | Catholic | 2025 | 1B | 15.1 |
2 | Aidan Ryan | LA | Covington High School | 2025 | LHP | -13.9 |
3 | Taylor Cotaya | LA | Denham Springs High School | 2025 | OF | 12.6 |
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.”
AVERAGE SLIDER SPIN RATE
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Spin Rate (avg) |
1 | Chase Thibodeaux | LA | Denham Springs | 2025 | OF | 2203 |
2 | Alex Scheuermann | LA | St. Martin's Episcopal | 2026 | LHP | 2175 |
3 | Henry Beckers | LA | PARKVIEW BAPTIST SCHOOL | 2026 | RHP | 2089 |
Spin Rate: The metric calculates how fast the ball is spinning as it leaves the pitcher’s hand, reported in the number of times the pitched ball would spin per minute (“revolutions per minute” or “rpm”).
AVERAGE CURVEBALL SPIN RATE
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Spin Rate (avg) |
1 | Will Robinson | LA | PARKVIEW BAPTIST SCHOOL | 2025 | RHP | 2683 rpm |
2 | Taylor Cotaya | LA | Denham Springs High School | 2025 | OF | 2337 rpm |
3 | Chase Thibodeaux | LA | Denham Springs | 2025 | OF | 2292 rpm |
Spin Rate: The metric calculates how fast the ball is spinning as it leaves the pitcher’s hand, reported in the number of times the pitched ball would spin per minute (“revolutions per minute” or “rpm”).
AVERAGE CHANGEUP HORIZONTAL MOVEMENT
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | HM (avg) |
1 | Aidan Ryan | LA | Covington High School | 2025 | LHP | -20.8 |
2 | Alex Scheuermann | LA | St. Martin's Episcopal | 2026 | LHP | -19.3 |
3 | Jaxon Bentzler | LA | Northwood High School | 2025 | C | 13.5 |
Horizontal Break: This metric measures the distance, 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.
