Lake Charles Fall ID: Trackman Files
September 28, 2023
Lake Charles, LA - The Lake Charles Fall I.D. was held on Sunday, September 24, 2023, at Barbe High School, home of the defending LHSAA Non-Select DI State Champions. The event consisted of uncommitted prospects from Louisiana's 2024-2028 classes, and all players in attendance went through an extended pro-style workout that included batting practice using Trackman and Blast, the 60 yard dash using Swift Performance, and much more. Pitchers finished off the event by throwing a bullpen, where they were able to receive their numbers and metrics off of Trackman, such as pitch velocity, spin rate, horizontal & vertical movement & much more.
We kick off off our post-event coverage with a look at some of the statistical leaders in different categories. Please continue to check back over the coming days, as we'll release additional post-event coverage of the 2023 Lake Charles Fall I.D.

MAX FASTBALL & AVERAGE SPIN RATE
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Velocity (max) |
1 | Kayden Kochell | LA | Sulphur High School | 2025 | SS | 81.2 mph |
2 | Anthony Jackson | LA | St. Fredericks | 2025 | LHP | 81.1 mph |
3 | Jackson Aumiller | LA | Saint Louis Catholic | 2026 | 1B | 80.9 mph |
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Spin Rate (avg) |
1 | Kayden Kochell | LA | Sulphur High School | 2025 | SS | 2137 rpm |
2 | Anthony Jackson | LA | St. Fredericks | 2025 | LHP | 2111 rpm |
3 | Cole Eaves | LA | South Beauregard | 2024 | LHP | 2067 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 | Kayden Kochell | LA | Sulphur High School | 2025 | SS | 15.9 |
2 | Maddox Soileau | LA | St Louis Catholic | 2026 | 2B | 15.7 |
3 | Brennan Westfall | LA | Saint Louis Catholic | 2026 | LHP | -12.6 |
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 | Kayden Kochell | LA | Sulphur High School | 2025 | SS | 2325 |
2 | Dylan Cockrell | LA | Iowa | 2027 | 3B | 1404 |
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 | Anthony Jackson | LA | St. Fredericks | 2025 | LHP | 2347 rpm |
2 | Jackson Aumiller | LA | Saint Louis Catholic | 2026 | 1B | 2269 rpm |
3 | Kayden Kochell | LA | Sulphur High School | 2025 | SS | 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 | Kayden Kochell | LA | Sulphur High School | 2025 | SS | 15.6 |
2 | Jackson Aumiller | LA | Saint Louis Catholic | 2026 | 1B | 14.2 |
3 | Trace Moreau | LA | St. Louis Catholic High School | 2026 | SS | 11.4 |
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.
PEAK EXIT VELOCITY (HITTING)
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Exit Velocity (max) |
1 | Layne Baguex | LA | Lacassine High School | 2026 | C | 93.9 mph |
2 | Kash Martin | LA | Westlake | 2025 | SS | 93.8 mph |
3 | Gabe Greene | LA | Dunham | 2025 | OF | 93.1 mph |
Exit Velocity: This metric measures the speed of the ball, measured in miles per hour, as it comes off the bat at the moment of contact.
PEAK ESTIMATED BATTED DISTANCE (HITTING)
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Distance (max) |
1 | Gabe Greene | LA | Dunham | 2025 | OF | 344 ft |
2 | Barrett Coody | LA | Rosepine | 2027 | 3B | 325 ft |
3 | Kash Martin | LA | Westlake | 2025 | SS | 325 ft |
Distance: This metric measures the estimated “carry flat” distance, measured in feet, meaning the distance that the ball travels before it lands, or would have landed if it were not caught or obstructed.
