Reno Preseason ID: Pitching Data Dive
February 15, 2024
On Saturday, February 10th, the Prep Baseball Nevada staff hosted it's second and final Preseason ID with the Reno Preseason ID hosted on the University of Nevada campus at Peccole Park in Reno, Nevada. This event featured 50+ players from the Northern Nevada area in the 2024 - 2027 classes and allowed our staff an opportunity to get an in-depth look and analysis of the players in attendance.
Earlier this week we began our post-event coverage within our Quick Hits and Statistical Analysis articles. Now, we will take a further in-depth look at the top pitchers with the help of our tech partnerships, broken down by the categories down below:

FASTBALL
MAX VELOCITY (MPH)
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Velocity (max) |
1 | Keenan Dolan | NV | Bishop Manogue | 2026 | RHP | 90.2 mph |
2 | Jackson Trueblood | NV | Spanish Springs | 2026 | RHP | 87.2 mph |
3 | Drew Perry | CA | Leroy Greene Academy | 2024 | 1B | 85.9 mph |
4 | Troy Riley | NV | Reno | 2027 | RHP | 85.4 mph |
5 | Brooks Porter | NV | Robert McQueen | 2026 | OF | 84.1 mph |
6 | Tyler Ramelli | NV | Reed | 2024 | RHP | 83.9 mph |
7 | Duncan DeLange | NV | Douglas High School | 2025 | RHP | 83.8 mph |
8 | Colton Ouellette | NV | Reno | 2024 | RHP | 83.4 mph |
9 | Braden Jones | NV | Reno | 2027 | SS | 82.7 mph |
10 | Dawson Loudenburg | NV | Reed | 2024 | 3B | 81.2 mph |
Max Fastball Velocity: This metric calculates the speed of the pitch as it’s released from the pitcher’s hand.
SPIN RATE (AVG)
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Spin Rate (avg) |
1 | Jackson Trueblood | NV | Spanish Springs | 2026 | RHP | 2219 rpm |
2 | Keenan Dolan | NV | Bishop Manogue | 2026 | RHP | 2171 rpm |
3 | Braden Jones | NV | Reno | 2027 | SS | 2091 rpm |
4 | Dawson Loudenburg | NV | Reed | 2024 | 3B | 1999 rpm |
5 | Jaxen McAdara | NV | ROBERT MCQUEEN HIGH SCHOOL | 2025 | LHP | 1999 rpm |
6 | Troy Riley | NV | Reno | 2027 | RHP | 1997 rpm |
7 | Drew Perry | CA | Leroy Greene Academy | 2024 | 1B | 1994 rpm |
8 | Nathan Chick | NV | Reno | 2027 | OF | 1973 rpm |
9 | Collin Knight | NV | Bishop Manogue | 2025 | OF | 1966 rpm |
10 | Tyler Ramelli | NV | Reed | 2024 | RHP | 1937 rpm |
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.
INDUCED VERTICAL BREAK (AVG.)
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | IVB (avg) |
1 | Keenan Dolan | NV | Bishop Manogue | 2026 | RHP | 18.2 in |
2 | Jackson Trueblood | NV | Spanish Springs | 2026 | RHP | 17.8 in |
3 | Tyler Ramelli | NV | Reed | 2024 | RHP | 17.6 in |
4 | Jaxen McAdara | NV | ROBERT MCQUEEN HIGH SCHOOL | 2025 | LHP | 17.5 in |
5 | Tate Robertson | NV | Reno | 2025 | LHP | 16.3 in |
6 | Duncan DeLange | NV | Douglas High School | 2025 | RHP | 16.2 in |
7 | Braden Jones | NV | Reno | 2027 | SS | 16.1 in |
8 | Jose Munoz | NV | Reed | 2024 | RHP | 15.8 in |
9 | Cole Schaffer | NV | Spanish Springs High School | 2026 | SS | 15.7 in |
10 | Brooks Porter | NV | Robert McQueen | 2026 | OF | 15.3 in |
Induced Vertical Break: Used in short form as "IVB," this metric is most important on fastballs for creating rise and on curveballs for creating depth – it can also have some use when measuring sliders and cutters as well. Sliders tend to be closer to zero inches while cutters are generally between 5 and 15 inches. Usually fastballs and curveballs with large IVB have higher spin efficiencies as well. Sliders generally have very little (closer to zero) IVB and very low spin efficiency. You could also categorize IVB into spin rate as this is part of the “useful movement” you’re looking for. IVB is also a huge part of the vertical approach angle.
HORIZONTAL MOVEMENT (AVG.)

4 | Braden Jones | NV | Reno | 2027 | SS | 14.2 |
5 | Nathan Cordell | NV | Galena High School | 2027 | 3B | 14.1 |

6 | Benjamin Davalos | NV | Damonte Ranch | 2024 | RHP | 13.7 |
7 | Luis Tosado | NV | Reed | 2024 | RHP | 13.7 |
8 | Andrew Moore | NV | Reed | 2024 | 1B | -12.4 |
9 | Brooks Porter | NV | Robert McQueen | 2026 | OF | 11.6 |
10 | Keenan Dolan | NV | Bishop Manogue | 2026 | RHP | 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.”
