Trackman Files (Pitchers): Luccini Scout Day
May 22, 2024
Lake Charles, LA - The Luccini Scout Day was held on Saturday May 18, 2024, at Barbe High School. This was our first event of the summer and consisted of prospects from the 2024-2028 high school classes from the Luccini organization. All players in attendance went through an extended pro-style workout, that included batting practice using Trackman, defensive evaluations, and much more. After the completion of the workout, all pitchers threw live to hitters 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 Saturday's Luccini Scout Day.

MAX FASTBALL & AVERAGE SPIN RATE
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Velocity (max) |
1 | Hayes Holton | LA | Loranger High School | 2026 | RHP | 93.7 mph |
2 | Gavin Foreman | LA | Acadiana High School | 2026 | RHP | 88.2 mph |
3 | Kross Gillen | LA | Opelousas Catholic | 2026 | OF | 88.1 mph |
4 | Abel Thetford | LA | Parkway | 2025 | SS | 85.6 mph |
5 | Haden Heath | LA | Alfred M. Barbe High School | 2026 | 1B | 85.2 mph |
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Spin Rate (avg) |
1 | Hayes Holton | LA | Loranger High School | 2026 | RHP | 2488 rpm |
2 | Braden Fenerty | LA | Destrehan High School | 2024 | OF | 2281 rpm |
3 | Kross Gillen | LA | Opelousas Catholic | 2026 | OF | 2270 rpm |
4 | Gavin Foreman | LA | Acadiana High School | 2026 | RHP | 2243 rpm |
5 | Lawton Littleton | LA | Barbe High School | 2027 | OF | 2230 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 | Myles Cunningham | LA | Loranger High School | 2027 | 3B | 17.1 |
2 | Whit Davis | MS | Jackson Academy | 2027 | 1B | 15.6 |
3 | Abel Thetford | LA | Parkway | 2025 | SS | 15.2 |
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 | Hayes Holton | LA | Loranger High School | 2026 | RHP | 2646 |
2 | Lawton Littleton | LA | Barbe High School | 2027 | OF | 2530 |
3 | Haden Heath | LA | Alfred M. Barbe High School | 2026 | 1B | 2141 |
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 | Braden Fenerty | LA | Destrehan High School | 2024 | OF | 2670 rpm |
2 | Lawton Littleton | LA | Barbe High School | 2027 | OF | 2414 rpm |
3 | Kaylor Broussard | LA | Iota High School | 2027 | SS | 2387 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 | Carter Stelly | LA | OPELOUSAS CATHOLIC SCHOOL | 2026 | 1B | -16.2 |
2 | John Parker Trahan | LA | Opelousas Catholic | 2026 | 3B | 14.6 |
3 | Gavin Foreman | LA | Acadiana High School | 2026 | RHP | 13.7 |
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.
