Fall Uncommitted Senior Invite (South): TrackMan Files
September 30, 2022
On September 25th the PBR Oregon staff hosted the Fall Uncommitted Senior Invite (South) at Chuck Bafaro Stadium on the campus of Pacific University, featuring many of the state’s top players inside the 2023 class. Inside today’s TrackMan Files, we’re highlighting the top performers from this event from the data and metrics from our TrackMan unit.
Earlier this week we rolled out a Statistical Leaderboard pointing out the top recorded stats by category.
Now we'll continue to roll out the data we gathered from this event, starting with the analytics we have at our disposal from our TrackMan unit. Below we'll look at which players had noteworthy batted ball and pitch metric data.

MAX FASTBALL
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Velocity (max) |
1 | Kaden Isola | OR | Bend Senior | 2023 | 1B | 85.7 mph |
2 | Declan Francis | OR | Lake Oswego | 2023 | RHP | 84.0 mph |
3 | Jack Joyce | OR | Canby | 2023 | RHP | 83.4 mph |
4 | Caleb Malloy | OR | Newport | 2023 | RHP | 80.3 mph |
5 | Kaden MacDonald | WA | Columbia River | 2023 | OF | 80.0 mph |
Max Fastball Velocity: This metric calculates the speed of the pitch as it’s released from the pitcher’s hand.
PEAK SPIN RATE
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Spin Rate (max) |
1 | Jack Joyce | OR | Canby | 2023 | RHP | 2350 rpm |
2 | Blake Geffert | WA | Union | 2023 | OF | 2299 rpm |
3 | Kaden Isola | OR | Bend Senior | 2023 | 1B | 2229 rpm |
4 | Kaden MacDonald | WA | Columbia River | 2023 | OF | 2168 rpm |
5 | Caleb Malloy | OR | Newport | 2023 | RHP | 2120 rpm |
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.
