LOS ANGELES, CALIF. - Southern California was treated to a massive gathering of high school baseball players in Los Angeles at USC's Dedeaux Field. Players from California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, and Idaho all took the field to represent their respective states in front of scouts from colleges and pro teams.
We got to see these ’24 and ’25 prospects show off their measurable stats followed by simulated games where they went against each other. The display was as competitive as it can get as all attendees are standouts in their respective position.
Players were put through the traditional showcase split that included the 60-yard dash, BP, and a defensive workout using Trackman, Swift Performance Technologies, and more to measure every movement.

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 Velocity
The maximum velocity of the pitch measured right at release.
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Velocity (max) |
1 | Maximo Martinez | CA | Mira Costa | 2024 | SS | 93.8 mph |
2 | Ethan Schiefelbein | CA | Corona | 2024 | LHP | 93.8 mph |
3 | Dax Whitney | ID | Blackfoot | 2024 | RHP | 93.2 mph |
4 | Naulivou Lauaki Jr. | UT | Springville | 2024 | RHP | 93.2 mph |
5 | Angel Cervantes | CA | Warren High | 2025 | RHP | 93.1 mph |
6 | Levi Sterling | CA | Notre Dame | 2024 | RHP | 92.6 mph |
7 | Easton Davies | UT | Orem | 2024 | RHP | 92.2 mph |
8 | Alexander Mercurius | NV | Durango High School | 2025 | RHP | 91.9 mph |
9 | Smith Bailey | AZ | Mountain Ridge | 2024 | RHP | 91.9 mph |
10 | Wylan Moss | CA | Mater Dei | 2024 | RHP | 91.7 mph |
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 | Wylan Moss | CA | Mater Dei | 2024 | RHP | 2570 rpm |
2 | Mason Russell | AZ | Casteel | 2024 | LHP | 2545 rpm |
3 | Angel Cervantes | CA | Warren High | 2025 | RHP | 2518 rpm |
4 | Levi Sterling | CA | Notre Dame | 2024 | RHP | 2496 rpm |
5 | Maximo Martinez | CA | Mira Costa | 2024 | SS | 2482 rpm |
6 | Andrew Johnson | CA | Capistrano Valley Christian | 2024 | RHP | 2462 rpm |
7 | Smith Bailey | AZ | Mountain Ridge | 2024 | RHP | 2454 rpm |
8 | Naulivou Lauaki Jr. | UT | Springville | 2024 | RHP | 2443 rpm |
9 | Jaxson Reiser | UT | Mountain Ridge | 2024 | RHP | 2436 rpm |
10 | Will Sanford | CA | Point Loma | 2024 | RHP | 2431 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 | Ethan Schiefelbein | CA | Corona | 2024 | LHP | 81.5 mph |
2 | Alex Umland | CA | Windward | 2024 | RHP | 80.7 mph |
3 | Tommy Bridges | CA | Harvard Westlake | 2024 | RHP | 79.3 mph |
4 | Levi Sterling | CA | Notre Dame | 2024 | RHP | 78.6 mph |
5 | Angel Cervantes | CA | Warren High | 2025 | RHP | 78.5 mph |
6 | Tee Southisene | NV | Basic | 2024 | RHP | 78.4 mph |
7 | Dax Whitney | ID | Blackfoot | 2024 | RHP | 78.0 mph |
8 | Mason Russell | AZ | Casteel | 2024 | LHP | 77.4 mph |
9 | Andrew Johnson | CA | Capistrano Valley Christian | 2024 | RHP | 77.3 mph |
10 | Sammy Petrocelli | CA | Notre Dame | 2024 | RHP | 74.9 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 | Dax Whitney | ID | Blackfoot | 2024 | RHP | 2623 rpm |
2 | Angel Cervantes | CA | Warren High | 2025 | RHP | 2621 rpm |
3 | Will Sanford | CA | Point Loma | 2024 | RHP | 2572 rpm |
4 | Levi Sterling | CA | Notre Dame | 2024 | RHP | 2545 rpm |
5 | Ethan Schiefelbein | CA | Corona | 2024 | LHP | 2469 rpm |
6 | Tee Southisene | NV | Basic | 2024 | RHP | 2395 rpm |
7 | Mason Russell | AZ | Casteel | 2024 | LHP | 2348 rpm |
8 | Sammy Petrocelli | CA | Notre Dame | 2024 | RHP | 2315 rpm |
9 | Andrew Johnson | CA | Capistrano Valley Christian | 2024 | RHP | 2311 rpm |
10 | Alex Umland | CA | Windward | 2024 | RHP | 2298 rpm |

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 | Maximo Martinez | CA | Mira Costa | 2024 | SS | 84.1 mph |
2 | Naulivou Lauaki Jr. | UT | Springville | 2024 | RHP | 83.5 mph |
3 | Dax Whitney | ID | Blackfoot | 2024 | RHP | 82.5 mph |
4 | Levi Sterling | CA | Notre Dame | 2024 | RHP | 82.4 mph |
5 | Tommy Bridges | CA | Harvard Westlake | 2024 | RHP | 82.3 mph |
6 | Easton Davies | UT | Orem | 2024 | RHP | 81.8 mph |
7 | Mason Russell | AZ | Casteel | 2024 | LHP | 81.7 mph |
8 | Wylan Moss | CA | Mater Dei | 2024 | RHP | 81.3 mph |
9 | Will Sanford | CA | Point Loma | 2024 | RHP | 79.2 mph |
10 | Alexander Mercurius | NV | Durango High School | 2025 | RHP | 78.9 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 | Mason Russell | AZ | Casteel | 2024 | LHP | 2752 rpm |
2 | Will Sanford | CA | Point Loma | 2024 | RHP | 2709 rpm |
3 | Dax Whitney | ID | Blackfoot | 2024 | RHP | 2648 rpm |
4 | Maximo Martinez | CA | Mira Costa | 2024 | SS | 2599 rpm |
5 | Smith Bailey | AZ | Mountain Ridge | 2024 | RHP | 2567 rpm |
6 | Easton Davies | UT | Orem | 2024 | RHP | 2555 rpm |
7 | Jaxson Reiser | UT | Mountain Ridge | 2024 | RHP | 2446 rpm |
8 | Alexander Mercurius | NV | Durango High School | 2025 | RHP | 2435 rpm |
9 | Naulivou Lauaki Jr. | UT | Springville | 2024 | RHP | 2425 rpm |
10 | Levi Sterling | CA | Notre Dame | 2024 | RHP | 2401 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 | Maximo Martinez | CA | Mira Costa | 2024 | SS | 84.7 mph |
2 | Smith Bailey | AZ | Mountain Ridge | 2024 | RHP | 83.7 mph |
