Close to 100 players went through the pro-style workout and there were several players that impressed at the different stations of the showcase. Below are the leaders in the individual categories recorded from our TrackMan unit from the weekend.

Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Spin Rate (avg) |
1 | Kevin Landry Farr | AR | Northpoint Christian | 2025 | RHP | 2374 rpm |
2 | Maddox Hampton | AR | Nettleton | 2025 | RHP | 2299 rpm |

5 | Jack Gleason | TN | Briarcrest Christian | 2024 | RHP | 2104 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 | Cannon Johnson | TN | Evangelical Christian | 2024 | RHP | 18.4 |
2 | Bradley Carroll | MS | LEWISBURG HIGH SCHOOL | 2027 | RHP | 18.0 |
3 | Kevin Landry Farr | AR | Northpoint Christian | 2025 | RHP | 15.3 |
4 | Jake Melton | MS | Lafayette County | 2024 | RHP | 14.3 |
5 | Maddox Hampton | AR | Nettleton | 2025 | RHP | 13.5 |
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 | Kevin Landry Farr | AR | Northpoint Christian | 2025 | RHP | 2548 |

3 | Jack Gleason | TN | Briarcrest Christian | 2024 | RHP | 2289 |
4 | Phillip Sharpe | TN | Arlington | 2025 | 2B | 2287 |
5 | Maddox Hampton | AR | Nettleton | 2025 | RHP | 2253 |
Spin Rate: The metric calculates how fast the ball is spinning as it leaves the pitcher’s hand, reported in the number of times the pitched ball would spin per minute (“revolutions per minute” or “rpm”).
AVERAGE CURVEBALL SPIN RATE
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Spin Rate (avg) |
1 | Bradley Stubbs | TN | Collierville High School | 2026 | SS | 2449 rpm |

5 | Caleb Cowles | TN | Briarcrest Christian | 2025 | RHP | 2249 rpm |
Spin Rate: The metric calculates how fast the ball is spinning as it leaves the pitcher’s hand, reported in the number of times the pitched ball would spin per minute (“revolutions per minute” or “rpm”).
AVERAGE CHANGEUP HORIZONTAL MOVEMENT
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | HM (avg) |
1 | Bradley Carroll | MS | LEWISBURG HIGH SCHOOL | 2027 | RHP | 20.5 |
2 | Phillip Sharpe | TN | Arlington | 2025 | 2B | 20.0 |

4 | Aidan Strong | MS | ITAWAMBA AGRICULTURAL HIGH SCHOOL | 2026 | RHP | 17.8 |
5 | Cooper Bierman | MS | Lewisburg | 2026 | 3B | 17.1 |
Horizontal Break: This metric measures the distance, 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.
