We would like to thank all who participated in PBR Ohio's 2020 Scout Day: IVL Baseball. This was a great opportunity for the class of 2021-2024 prospects to be put on college radars. Many players impressed during their individual workouts at the showcase. Below we have the complete statistical results from the event as well as the top performers across various different categories.

2020 Scout Day: IVL Baseball - Advanced Hitting Metrics With Rapsodo

Notes:

• Recorded metrics are based off of Rapsodo 2.0 technology.
• Exit Velocity:  Exit Velo is the speed of the baseball as it comes off the bat after contact.

2020 Scout Day: IVL Baseball - Advanced Pitching Metrics With PitchLogic

Notes:

• Recorded velocities listed are from the game play session, taken off of a stalker radar gun.
• Total Spin (rpm): The total amount of rotations per minute put on the baseball out of the hand.
• Spin Efficiency: Ratio of transverse to total spin... simple meaning is a higher efficiency yields more movement.

Fastball Spin Rates

The average fastball spin rate at the MLB level can range from 2050 - 2250 rpm.  The average at the high school level will be lower, but can be hard to track as most pitchers that are getting spin rate readings, are typically more advanced.  When looking at fastball spin rates, coaches and scouts are looking for pitchers that are outside the norm.  High spin rate fastball, typically, tend to ride on hitter, creating swing and miss, and playing at the top of the strike zone.  Low spin rate guys, typically, are creating some sink on their fastball, or the appearance that the fastball is diving.

The pure spin rate does not tell the whole story on any one pitch.  Coaches and scouts are also evaluating spin efficiency and spin direction.  They also want to see some consistency, pitch-to-pitch, on the release point.

Name	Position	School	Class	Total Spin
Nolan Kubilus	RHP	Wadsworth	2021	2010-2290
Drew Mason	SS	Wadsworth	2022	1960-2140
Jackson Phelps	RHP	Walsh Jesuit	2022	1930-2100
Parker Wilson	1B	Medina High	2022	2070-2080
Mark Stewart	RHP	Home schooled	2023	1600-2080

Breaking Ball Spin Rates

Typically bigger spin can mean bigger break, but again on the breaking ball the spin efficiency can play a part.  There are also studies that show the speed of the pitch can affect if the spin rate has a chance to take hold and create the break a pitcher is looking for.  Below is a look at each pitcher that threw his breaking ball and what the analytics of each pitch looked like with the PitchLogic baseball.

Name	Position	School	Class	Total Spin
Nathan Meilke	RHP	Medina	2021	2250-2400
Evan Morris	RHP	Streetsboro	2022	2290-2320
Nolan Kubilus	RHP	Wadsworth	2021	1930-2130
Parker Wilson	1B	Medina High	2022	2110-2120
Michael Ferritto	RHP	North Canton	2021	1840-2120
