On Saturday, January 29th, The PBR Tennessee Staff hosted the 2022 East TN Preseason ID Showcase at BC Athletics in Knoxville. The event featured over 45 prospects from all high school classes.
Following up the Stat Story, we’re continuing our post-event analysis by examining the data measured by our TrackMan units. The technology is able to capture information that’s difficult to capture by the naked eye, like pitch-by-pitch metrics and batted-ball data. We’ll explain more below:
MAX FASTBALL & PEAK SPIN RATE
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Velocity (max) |
1 | Cade Batchelor | TN | Maryville | 2024 | SS | 86.4 mph |
2 | Reilly Byers | TN | Gibbs | 2023 | LHP | 86.1 mph |
3 | Justin Bell | TN | William Blount | 2023 | RHP | 85.9 mph |
4 | Ethan Crump | TN | McCallie | 2023 | RHP | 85.7 mph |
5 | David Hamilton | TN | Grace Christian Academy | 2023 | OF | 84.1 mph |
6 | Ryan Smith | TN | Science Hill | 2023 | RHP | 81.8 mph |
7 | Lucas Belcher | TN | Providence Academy | 2023 | 3B | 81.4 mph |
8 | Nathan Eisfelder | TN | PROVIDENCE ACADEMY | 2025 | OF | 80.7 mph |
9 | Jacob Camfield | TN | Knoxville Catholic | 2023 | RHP | 80.5 mph |
10 | Jeb Cox | TN | Bearden | 2023 | LHP | 79.9 mph |
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Spin Rate (max) |
1 | Ethan Crump | TN | McCallie | 2023 | RHP | 2341 rpm |
2 | Cade Batchelor | TN | Maryville | 2024 | SS | 2247 rpm |
3 | Reilly Byers | TN | Gibbs | 2023 | LHP | 2244 rpm |
4 | Lucas Belcher | TN | Providence Academy | 2023 | 3B | 2183 rpm |
5 | Nathan Eisfelder | TN | PROVIDENCE ACADEMY | 2025 | OF | 2121 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 | Reilly Byers | TN | Gibbs | 2023 | LHP | -14.4 |
2 | Jeb Cox | TN | Bearden | 2023 | LHP | -13.3 |
3 | Nathan Eisfelder | TN | PROVIDENCE ACADEMY | 2025 | OF | 13.0 |
4 | Gavin Janeway | TN | Union County | 2024 | RHP | 12.2 |
5 | Ethan Crump | TN | McCallie | 2023 | RHP | 11.7 |
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 | Jacob Camfield | TN | Knoxville Catholic | 2023 | RHP | 2171 |
