EASTLAKE, CALIF. - After the constant weather that has hit southern California in the last month pushed off an event, the Rising Stars ID tour kicked off in earnest at Eastlake High School. The event drew over 40 players from the 2027 and 2028 classes who came to show they’re deserving to be considered to represent Team California at the Prep Baseball Report Jr. Future Games in LakePoint, GA.
This July, PBR California will be taking a team to the Jr. Future Games for the first time. This unique event is run in conjunction with, and at the same facility as, the Future Games which last year hosted over 360 college coaches. Adding to the spectacle is the uniqueness of the event being open to uncommitted players only.
The Rising Stars ID series will serve as the springboard for players looking to be a part of the best event in the country for uncommitted players, and this first event certainly did not disappoint with as many as 20 players having really solid performances in what was the first showcase setting for many of them.
Players were put through the traditional pro-style workout that included the 60-yard dash, Bullpens, BP, and a defensive workout using Trackman, Swift Technologies, and more to measure every movement.
We earlier took a look at the First Ten which highlighted some early standouts, but in this post we’ll break down the pitching leaders from the Rising Stars ID: San Diego.
Be sure to follow PBR California on Twitter and Instagram for videos/notes throughout the weeks of the high school season.

Prep Baseball Report events across the country have been powered by TrackMan’s industry-leading Portable system and Blast Sensor technology to capture pinpoint accurate, actionable data from player performances. Prep Baseball Report, Trackman and Blast are dedicated to recognizing talent and unleashing their potential.
All pitchers had a chance to throw a bullpen while being monitored through our portable Trackman unit. Each player threw all their pitches where we were able to collect key ball flight metrics such as release velocity, spin rate, vertical & horizontal movement and much more.
PBR was able to collect data on many uncommitted players around the states that is sharable with coaches & scouts as well as help players identify areas of development for the future.
This data has become significantly important for high school, Juco and 4-year players. College programs have evolved beyond radar velocity readings, looking deeper into a pitcher's ability to spin and move the ball. In addition to velocity, TrackMan provides pitchers with valuable data points such as spin rate, spin direction, horizontal movement, vertical movement and more. Ultimately providing feedback to college coaches, MLB scouts and the players themselves; to enhance training and also to identify prospects of interest above and beyond simple velocity readings.
At select PBR Showcases and Events, amateur players now have access to the same technology shared by professionals and are able to see how their pitching arsenal compares with those across the state and the country. The TrackMan Arsenal Analysis will highlight those metrics and explain the benefits behind the numbers.

Max Fastball Spin Rate
The max amount of revolutions per minute (rpm) of a pitch. For fastballs, a higher rpm causes the ball to drop less due to gravity, this gives the illusion of a rising pitch.
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Spin Rate (max) |
1 | Tosh Whitworth | CA | Santa Barbara | 2027 | 3B | 2317 rpm |
2 | Lukas Waite | CA | St. Augustine | 2027 | OF | 2262 rpm |
3 | Lucas Rosenberg | CA | Harvard Westlake | 2027 | LHP | 2218 rpm |
4 | Jackson Foster | CA | Mater Dei | 2027 | RHP | 2217 rpm |
5 | Paxton Czubek | CA | South hills | 2027 | 3B | 2022 rpm |
6 | Ethan Shi | CA | Torrey Pines | 2027 | 3B | 1968 rpm |
7 | Lucas Yriqui | CA | Eastlake | 2028 | 1B | 1967 rpm |
8 | Jacob Musicant | CA | Francis Parker | 2027 | OF | 1927 rpm |
9 | Nathan Reaney | CA | JSerra | 2028 | RHP | 1918 rpm |
10 | Guillermo MacFarland | CA | St. Augustine | 2027 | SS | 1917 rpm |
Max Curveball Velocity
Like many things in baseball, the faster the better. A fast off-speed pitch while maintaining traditional movement patterns makes the pitch harder to hit. The measured velocity for this metric is right as the pitch leaves the hand.
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Velocity (max) |
1 | Paxton Czubek | CA | South hills | 2027 | 3B | 64.7 mph |
2 | Tosh Whitworth | CA | Santa Barbara | 2027 | 3B | 64.5 mph |
3 | Braeden Casey | CA | Christian | 2027 | OF | 62.4 mph |
4 | Miles Filamor | CA | Eastlake | 2027 | 1B | 60.4 mph |
5 | Lucas Yriqui | CA | Eastlake | 2028 | 1B | 60.0 mph |
6 | Myles-Aden Reyes | CA | Eastlake | 2027 | 1B | 58.5 mph |
7 | Cooper Quarders | CA | unknown | 2028 | RHP | 55.0 mph |
8 | Elsa Becher | CA | Helix | 2027 | 2B | 49.5 mph |
Max Curveball Spin Rate
The spin rate for a curveball tends to be the highest among all the pitches in a pitcher's arsenal. A higher spin rate, measured in rpms, on a curveball generally means more downward movement when combined with the top spin of the pitch.
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Spin Rate (max) |
1 | Tosh Whitworth | CA | Santa Barbara | 2027 | 3B | 2463 rpm |
2 | Paxton Czubek | CA | South hills | 2027 | 3B | 2179 rpm |
3 | Braeden Casey | CA | Christian | 2027 | OF | 1925 rpm |
4 | Myles-Aden Reyes | CA | Eastlake | 2027 | 1B | 1878 rpm |
5 | Cooper Quarders | CA | unknown | 2028 | RHP | 1796 rpm |
6 | Miles Filamor | CA | Eastlake | 2027 | 1B | 1660 rpm |
7 | Lucas Yriqui | CA | Eastlake | 2028 | 1B | 1634 rpm |
8 | Elsa Becher | CA | Helix | 2027 | 2B | 929 rpm |
Max Slider Velocity
Sliders generally are faster than most other off-speed pitches with less overall movement. This metric measures the speed of the slider when it comes out of the hand.
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Velocity (max) |
1 | Jackson Foster | CA | Mater Dei | 2027 | RHP | 66.5 mph |
2 | Ethan Shi | CA | Torrey Pines | 2027 | 3B | 66.0 mph |
3 | Lucas Rosenberg | CA | Harvard Westlake | 2027 | LHP | 64.0 mph |
4 | Guillermo MacFarland | CA | St. Augustine | 2027 | SS | 63.8 mph |
5 | Cody Alan Moseman | CA | Eastlake | 2027 | 2B | 63.8 mph |
6 | Ethan Dang | CA | Eastlake | 2027 | SS | 62.9 mph |
7 | Nathan Reaney | CA | JSerra | 2028 | RHP | 62.1 mph |
8 | Jacob Musicant | CA | Francis Parker | 2027 | OF | 58.6 mph |
9 | JT Armstrong | CA | Loyola | 2027 | 3B | 57.3 mph |
10 | Cooper Quarders | CA | unknown | 2028 | RHP | 56.0 mph |
Max Slider Spin Rate
The higher the spin rate for a horizontal pitch like the slider means that it will have more movement from right to left for a right handed pitcher. This metric measures the maximum spin rate of a pitcher's slider in rpms.
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Spin Rate (max) |
1 | Lucas Rosenberg | CA | Harvard Westlake | 2027 | LHP | 2188 rpm |
2 | Ethan Shi | CA | Torrey Pines | 2027 | 3B | 2041 rpm |
3 | Nathan Reaney | CA | JSerra | 2028 | RHP | 1957 rpm |
4 | Guillermo MacFarland | CA | St. Augustine | 2027 | SS | 1884 rpm |
5 | Cody Alan Moseman | CA | Eastlake | 2027 | 2B | 1870 rpm |
6 | Cooper Quarders | CA | unknown | 2028 | RHP | 1818 rpm |
7 | Jackson Foster | CA | Mater Dei | 2027 | RHP | 1754 rpm |
8 | Roman Murphy | CA | Eastlake | 2028 | 1B | 1736 rpm |
9 | Jacob Musicant | CA | Francis Parker | 2027 | OF | 1710 rpm |
10 | JT Armstrong | CA | Loyola | 2027 | 3B | 1622 rpm |
Max Changeup Velocity
This metric determines the speed of a changeup as it is released from the pitcher's hand.
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Velocity (max) |
1 | Lukas Waite | CA | St. Augustine | 2027 | OF | 74.5 mph |
2 | Ethan Shi | CA | Torrey Pines | 2027 | 3B | 72.4 mph |
3 | Paxton Czubek | CA | South hills | 2027 | 3B | 69.8 mph |
