Trackman Files (Pitching): Southwest Louisiana Fall ID
October 16, 2024
Moss Bluff, LA - On Sunday, October 13, 2024, the Prep Baseball Louisiana staff traveled to the Sam Houston High School, to host our last event of the fall, which featured prospects across the state's 2025-2029 classes. Each participant went through a pro-style workout that consisted of running a laser-timed 60 yard dash using Swift Performance, defensive evaluations, and batting practice using Trackman Baseball and Blast Motion. Pitchers finished the day off by throwing a bullpen with Trackman Baseball to receive all of their data and metrics. Below, we take a look at the top Trackman pitching metrics and data from Sunday's event.

Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Spin Rate (avg) |
1 | Lucas Lawrence | LA | Catholic High School | 2026 | LHP | 2307 rpm |
2 | Owen Galley | LA | Sam Houston | 2027 | 3B | 2297 rpm |
3 | Jackson Aumiller | LA | St. Louis Catholic | 2026 | 1B | 2076 rpm |
4 | Hayes Mire | LA | Kaplan High School | 2025 | LHP | 2066 rpm |
5 | Hudson Anderson | LA | Sam Houston | 2029 | OF | 2065 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 | Brytn Gardner | LA | Sam Houston | 2027 | 1B | 13.5 |
2 | Jonathan Lee | LA | Northlake Christian | 2026 | OF | 13.0 |
3 | Hudson Anderson | LA | Sam Houston | 2029 | OF | 12.8 |
4 | Ayden Lingefelt | LA | Sterlington | 2025 | RHP | 12.2 |
5 | Evan Prewitt | LA | St. Louis Catholic | 2027 | RHP | 11.5 |
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 FASTBALL INDUCED VERTICAL BREAK
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | IVB (avg) |
1 | Nathan Albarado | LA | Grace Academy | 2026 | RHP | 19.5 in |
2 | Hudson Anderson | LA | Sam Houston | 2029 | OF | 18.4 in |
3 | Ayden Lingefelt | LA | Sterlington | 2025 | RHP | 15.3 in |
4 | Lucas Lawrence | LA | Catholic High School | 2026 | LHP | 14.9 in |
5 | Brytn Gardner | LA | Sam Houston | 2027 | 1B | 14.9 in |
Induced Vertical Break: IVB simply means the pitch is "breaking" upward from the average level a pitch falls from release to home plate. The higher the number, the more "rise" the pitch has compared to average.
AVERAGE SLIDER SPIN RATE
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Spin Rate (avg) |
1 | Lucas Lawrence | LA | Catholic High School | 2026 | LHP | 2414 |
2 | Jackson Aumiller | LA | St. Louis Catholic | 2026 | 1B | 2401 |
3 | Owen Galley | LA | Sam Houston | 2027 | 3B | 2314 |
4 | Hayes Mire | LA | Kaplan High School | 2025 | LHP | 2079 |
5 | Evan Prewitt | LA | St. Louis Catholic | 2027 | RHP | 2026 |
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 | Lucas Lawrence | LA | Catholic High School | 2026 | LHP | 2353 rpm |
2 | Hayes Mire | LA | Kaplan High School | 2025 | LHP | 2281 rpm |
3 | Weston Landry | LA | Sulphur | 2029 | SS | 2218 rpm |
4 | Owen Galley | LA | Sam Houston | 2027 | 3B | 2113 rpm |
5 | Grayson Monceaux | LA | Sam Houston | 2029 | 2B | 2107 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 | Jackson Aumiller | LA | St. Louis Catholic | 2026 | 1B | 19.6 |
2 | Brytn Gardner | LA | Sam Houston | 2027 | 1B | 17.7 |
3 | Owen Galley | LA | Sam Houston | 2027 | 3B | 15.7 |
4 | Hudson Anderson | LA | Sam Houston | 2029 | OF | 14.5 |
5 | Lucas Lawrence | LA | Catholic High School | 2026 | LHP | -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.
