TrackMan Files - Pacific Northwest Preseason All-State
February 24, 2023
On Feb. 21st, the PBR Washington team hosted the Pacific Northwest Preseason All-State showcase, at the NW Sports Hub in Centralia, Was. Nearly 150 players from Washington and Oregon made the trip out to Centralia and gave our staff a look at some of the top talent those two state's have to offer.
Earlier this week we rolled out a Statistical Leaders piece 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 units. Below we'll look at which players had noteworthy batted ball and pitch metric data.

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.

10 | Ethan Simshauser | OR | West Linn | 2024 | OF | -13.2 |
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.”
