North Mississippi Fall ID: TrackMan Files
September 13, 2023
SENATOBIA, MS - The North Mississippi Fall ID was held on Saturday, September 9th at Northwest Mississippi CC in Senatobia, MS. This event was an open event that consisted of some of the top prospects from the 2024-2026 classes across all parts of Mississippi. These players went through extended pro-style workout that included batting practice using Trackman, ran the 60 yard dash using Swift Performance, and much more. Pitchers were able to throw in simulated bullpens during the workout and were able to get numbers and metrics. There were some players who showed up and continued to build off of prior performances, but there were also some new names who jumped onto our radar with a strong showing at the event.
Continuing our post-event coverage for this event, we take a look back at the top statistical performers from the event. Continuing over the course of the next week or so, we will release different statistical leaderboards for the event along with other pieces of content.

Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Spin Rate (avg) |
1 | Bishop Holton | MS | Amory | 2026 | OF | 2249 rpm |
2 | Garrett Churchill | MS | Lewisburg | 2024 | RHP | 2227 rpm |
3 | Alex Love | MS | Northpoint Christian | 2025 | LHP | 2151 rpm |
4 | Brody Roberts | MS | Manchester Academy | 2025 | RHP | 2130 rpm |
5 | Jackson Howell | MS | AMORY HIGH SCHOOL | 2025 | LHP | 2086 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 | Garrett Churchill | MS | Lewisburg | 2024 | RHP | 16.7 |
2 | Brayden Edmiston | MS | NEW HOPE HIGH SCHOOL | 2026 | 1B | 15.3 |
3 | Miller Owens | MS | Independence | 2025 | SS | 12.6 |
4 | Ethan Wright | MS | Independence | 2024 | 2B | 12.4 |
5 | Caleb Scruggs | MS | Senatobia | 2025 | RHP | 12.0 |
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 | Brody Roberts | MS | Manchester Academy | 2025 | RHP | 2503 |
2 | Bishop Holton | MS | Amory | 2026 | OF | 2440 |
3 | Brayden Edmiston | MS | NEW HOPE HIGH SCHOOL | 2026 | 1B | 2157 |
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 | Brody Roberts | MS | Manchester Academy | 2025 | RHP | 2504 rpm |
2 | Bishop Holton | MS | Amory | 2026 | OF | 2394 rpm |
3 | Jackson Howell | MS | AMORY HIGH SCHOOL | 2025 | LHP | 2258 rpm |
4 | Brayden Edmiston | MS | NEW HOPE HIGH SCHOOL | 2026 | 1B | 2210 rpm |
5 | Michael Callahan | MS | Lake Cormorant | 2025 | SS | 2029 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 | Brody Roberts | MS | Manchester Academy | 2025 | RHP | 15.8 |
2 | Garrett Churchill | MS | Lewisburg | 2024 | RHP | 13.8 |
3 | Alex Love | MS | Northpoint Christian | 2025 | LHP | -13.5 |
4 | Kolby Baker | MS | North Delta | 2025 | SS | 12.7 |
5 | Brayden Edmiston | MS | NEW HOPE HIGH SCHOOL | 2026 | 1B | 12.6 |
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.
