SAN MATEO, CALIF. - Our Preseason ID series rolled along last Sunday, on the campus of College of San Mateo, at scenic Hilltop Stadium. We have a couple more stops coming up over the next two Sundays (South Bay, East Bay).
Players were put through the traditional showcase workout that included the 60-yard dash (w/10 & 30-yard splits as well), hitting session, defensive session, concluded with pitchers throwing a 15-20 pitch pen session.
In the coming days we’ll push out more statistical leaders, categorical leaders, and scouting reports/videos. Until then we’ll take a look at the showcase TrackMan pitching leaders.
(Note: All showcase videos have been added to the profiles)

Prep Baseball Report California events across the country have been powered by TrackMan’s industry-leading portable system to capture pinpoint accurate, actionable data from player performances. Prep Baseball Report and TrackMan are dedicated to recognizing talent and unleashing their potential.
At the event all pitchers pitches were monitored through the portable Trackman B1 unit. Each player threw their complete arsenal of pitches allowing us to collect metrics such as release velocity, spin rate, vertical & horizontal movement and much more.
This data goes directly into the player profiles allowing the PBR Staff, college coaches and professional scouts alike to evaluate and compare prospects on a national scale.
Some of the advanced metrics gathered, available for subscribers to PBR Plus: effective velocity, max & avg IVB, max & avg horizontal movement, extension avg, release height avg, zone %
Spin Rate is defined as how fast the ball is spinning as it leaves the pitcher's hand, measured in "Revolutions per Minute or RPM"
