DFW Open Showcase - TrackMan Files
June 2, 2022
On Tuesday, May 31, we hosted the DFW Open Showcase at L.D. Bell High School. The event featured prospects from all high school classes
Today, 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 | Caden Orr | TX | Carroll | 2023 | RHP | 92.3 mph |
2 | Caden Sorrell | TX | Marcus | 2023 | OF | 87.2 mph |
3 | Brady Shrum | TX | Mineola | 2023 | RHP | 86.4 mph |
4 | Jack Jorgenson | TX | Reedy | 2025 | RHP | 86.1 mph |
5 | Andrew Grier | TX | Northwest | 2023 | RHP | 85.4 mph |
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Spin Rate (max) |
1 | Caden Orr | TX | Carroll | 2023 | RHP | 2389 rpm |
2 | Barrett Kasprowicz | TX | Jesuit Dallas | 2025 | 3B | 2242 rpm |
3 | Jack Jorgenson | TX | Reedy | 2025 | RHP | 2231 rpm |
4 | Charlie Schneider | TX | Highland Park | 2024 | SS | 2182 rpm |
5 | Austin Bush | TX | Coram Deo Academy | 2023 | RHP | 2168 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 | Caden Sorrell | TX | Marcus | 2023 | OF | -13.1 |
2 | Brock Golwas | TX | Marcus | 2025 | OF | 12.5 |
3 | Dane Parlin | TX | Flower Mound Marcus | 2025 | 3B | 10.8 |
4 | Kaden Mitchell | TX | Sulphur Springs | 2025 | RHP | 9.9 |
5 | Braden Beene | TX | Coppell | 2024 | 3B | 8.2 |
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.”
