Canes Southwest Scout Day - TrackMan Files
October 18, 2022
STEPHENVILLE, TX - This past weekend, PBR Texas made its way to Stephenville High School for a two day event with Canes Southwest. Players from all high school classes were in attendance for a pro style workout on Saturday. Following the workout, they went straight into gameplay with 3 games on Saturday and three more on Sunday. It was a great look at the organization and today we take a further look at the TrackMan data from the day.
MAX FASTBALL & PEAK SPIN RATE

Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Spin Rate (max) |
1 | Gage Deutsch | TX | Lockhart | 2025 | SS | 2295 rpm |
2 | Jacob Harms | TX | Ranchview | 2026 | RHP | 2220 rpm |
3 | Edmond De Leon | TX | Bowie | 2026 | RHP | 2151 rpm |
4 | John Dawson | TX | Bastrop | 2024 | RHP | 2141 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 | Noah Faltesek | TX | Georgetown | 2025 | RHP | 17.7 |
2 | Jacob Harms | TX | Ranchview | 2026 | RHP | 16.3 |
3 | Matthew Zamora | TX | East View | 2025 | OF | -15.2 |
4 | Harrison Hight | TX | Dripping Springs | 2026 | RHP | 14.8 |
5 | Marshall Kolb | TX | Midway | 2024 | LHP | -14.3 |
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.”
