Trackman Files (Pitchers): North Louisiana Rising Stars ID
June 6, 2024
Ruston, LA - The North Louisiana Rising Stars ID was held on Tuesday June 4, 2024, at Louisiana Tech University. This was our third Rising Stars ID event of the year and consisted of uncommitted prospects from the 2028-2029 classes. 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 bullpens 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 our North Louisiana Rising Stars ID.

2 | Lane Holubec | LA | West Monroe | 2028 | RHP | 83.3 mph |

Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Spin Rate (avg) |
1 | Brock Blessington | LA | Sam Houston High School | 2028 | OF | 2253 rpm |
2 | Quinn Fiasconaro | LA | Sam Houston | 2028 | C | 2228 rpm |
3 | Lane Holubec | LA | West Monroe | 2028 | RHP | 2202 rpm |
4 | Hudson Wilkerson | LA | Ruston | 2028 | RHP | 2096 rpm |
5 | Madden Raymond | LA | Benton | 2028 | LHP | 1850 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 | Lane Holubec | LA | West Monroe | 2028 | RHP | 20.3 |
2 | Luca Golden | LA | Loyola College Prep | 2028 | SS | 18.2 |
3 | Brock Blessington | LA | Sam Houston High School | 2028 | OF | 14.5 |
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 | Lane Holubec | LA | West Monroe | 2028 | RHP | 2201 |
2 | Austin Parra | LA | Holy Savior Menard | 2028 | C | 2070 |
3 | Madden Raymond | LA | Benton | 2028 | LHP | 2022 |
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 | Quinn Fiasconaro | LA | Sam Houston | 2028 | C | 2412 rpm |
2 | Brock Blessington | LA | Sam Houston High School | 2028 | OF | 2329 rpm |
3 | Grayson Minnis | LA | LOYOLA COLLEGE PREPARATORY HIGH SCHOOL | 2028 | OF | 2246 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 | Lane Holubec | LA | West Monroe | 2028 | RHP | 17.8 |
2 | Austin Parra | LA | Holy Savior Menard | 2028 | C | 16.2 |
3 | Luca Golden | LA | Loyola College Prep | 2028 | SS | 14.3 |
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.
