Oxford Summer ID: TrackMan Files
July 16, 2024
OXFORD, MS - The Oxford Summer ID was held on Wednesday, July 10th at The Farm in Oxford, MS. This event was an open event that consisted of prospects from the 2025-2027 classes across northern 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 in a bullpen setting 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 Oxford Summer ID. Below, you can find the statistical leaderboards from the event.

5 | Tanner Brannigan | MS | TUPELO HIGH SCHOOL | 2027 | 1B | 81.9 mph |
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Spin Rate (avg) |
1 | Josh Scruggs | MS | Oxford | 2026 | RHP | 2114 rpm |
2 | Garrett Latham | MS | Lewisburg | 2026 | LHP | 2063 rpm |
3 | Caden Cole | MS | Warren Central | 2027 | SS | 2019 rpm |
4 | Cade Ferguson | MS | Oxford | 2027 | RHP | 1986 rpm |
5 | William Mayo | MS | Oxford | 2027 | OF | 1948 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 | Brett Williams | MS | Lafayette | 2026 | RHP | 15.2 |
2 | John Griffin Lane | MS | Magnolia Heights | 2025 | RHP | 14.9 |
3 | William Mayo | MS | Oxford | 2027 | OF | -13.7 |
4 | Hayes Algee | MS | Simpson County Academy | 2027 | RHP | 11.8 |
5 | Garrett Latham | MS | Lewisburg | 2026 | LHP | -10.9 |
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 | John Griffin Lane | MS | Magnolia Heights | 2025 | RHP | 1941 |
2 | Tanner Brannigan | MS | TUPELO HIGH SCHOOL | 2027 | 1B | 1936 |
3 | Brett Williams | MS | Lafayette | 2026 | RHP | 1691 |
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 | Josh Scruggs | MS | Oxford | 2026 | RHP | 2341 rpm |
2 | John Griffin Lane | MS | Magnolia Heights | 2025 | RHP | 2274 rpm |
3 | Garrett Latham | MS | Lewisburg | 2026 | LHP | 2179 rpm |
4 | Caden Cole | MS | Warren Central | 2027 | SS | 2095 rpm |
5 | Cade Ferguson | MS | Oxford | 2027 | RHP | 2042 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 | Garrett Latham | MS | Lewisburg | 2026 | LHP | -16.1 |
2 | Presley Ellis | MS | Saltillo | 2027 | RHP | 15.9 |
3 | William Mayo | MS | Oxford | 2027 | OF | -15.1 |
4 | Josh Scruggs | MS | Oxford | 2026 | RHP | 14.9 |
5 | John Griffin Lane | MS | Magnolia Heights | 2025 | RHP | 14.7 |
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.
PEAK EXIT VELOCITY (HITTING)
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Exit Velocity (max) |
1 | Preston Downs | MS | Grenada | 2025 | C | 96.7 mph |
2 | Crews Albritton | MS | Tri-County Academy | 2027 | OF | 96.0 mph |
3 | Garrett Latham | MS | Lewisburg | 2026 | LHP | 94.7 mph |
4 | Bryce Godown | MS | Tupelo | 2027 | OF | 92.8 mph |
5 | Eli Palmer | MS | Grenada | 2026 | 1B | 92.7 mph |
Exit Velocity: This metric measures the speed of the ball, measured in miles per hour, as it comes off the bat at the moment of contact.
PEAK ESTIMATED BATTED DISTANCE (HITTING)
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Distance (max) |
1 | Crews Albritton | MS | Tri-County Academy | 2027 | OF | 362 ft |
2 | Parker Skinner | MS | New Albany | 2026 | C | 354 ft |

5 | Tanner Brannigan | MS | TUPELO HIGH SCHOOL | 2027 | 1B | 326 ft |
Distance: This metric measures the estimated “carry flat” distance, measured in feet, meaning the distance that the ball travels before it lands, or would have landed if it were not caught or obstructed.
