Hattiesburg Summer ID: TrackMan Files
July 6, 2024
HATTIESBURG, MS - The Hattiesburg Summer ID was held on July 2nd at Pete Taylor Park on the campus of Southern Miss in Hattiesburg, MS. This event was an open event that consisted of some prospects from the 2025-2028 classes across all parts of Mississippi. These players went through extended pro-style workout that included batting practice using Trackman, and much more. Pitchers were able to throw simulated innings during gameplay and were able to get numbers and metrics via TrackMan. There were some players who showed up and continued to build off of prior performances, but there were also some new names who jumped onto our radar with a strong showing at the event.
Continuing our post-event coverage for this event, we take a look at some of the standouts from the Hattiesburg Summer ID. Below, you can find the TrackMan leaderboards from the event.

Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Spin Rate (avg) |
1 | Maddox Perry | MS | Germantown | 2027 | SS | 2105 rpm |
2 | Carson Philyaw | MS | Kosciusko | 2026 | 3B | 2098 rpm |

5 | Dominic Smith | MS | North Pike | 2025 | RHP | 1956 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 | Rush Watkins | MS | Baldwyn | 2027 | RHP | 16.1 |
2 | Landry Winter | MS | EUPORA HIGH SCHOOL | 2025 | RHP | 15.5 |
3 | Chad Davidson | MS | St. Joseph Catholic | 2027 | LHP | -13.4 |
4 | Carson Philyaw | MS | Kosciusko | 2026 | 3B | 12.6 |
5 | Cooper Rayburn | MS | Jackson Academy | 2025 | RHP | 9.8 |
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.”
AVERAGE SLIDER SPIN RATE
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Spin Rate (avg) |

5 | Dylan Varnell | MS | Northwest Rankin | 2026 | OF | 1759 |
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

4 | Chad Davidson | MS | St. Joseph Catholic | 2027 | LHP | -13.5 |
5 | Cooper Rayburn | MS | Jackson Academy | 2025 | RHP | 13.3 |
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.
