Prep Baseball Report 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.
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.

Max Fastball Velocity
The maximum velocity of the pitch measured right at release.
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Velocity (max) |
1 | Nolan Miller | CA | Whitney | 2024 | RHP | 85.3 mph |
2 | Kai Lorenzo | CA | Rocklin | 2025 | RHP | 84.0 mph |
3 | Brandon Pelechowicz | CA | Yuba City | 2025 | RHP | 82.7 mph |
4 | Javier Ramirez | CA | Jesuit | 2025 | C | 80.4 mph |
5 | Dane Wyles | CA | Woodcreek | 2025 | RHP | 79.2 mph |
6 | Jacoby Jones | CA | Vista Del Lago | 2026 | RHP | 78.8 mph |
7 | Brandon Highley | CA | Rocklin | 2025 | OF | 78.2 mph |
8 | Andrew Hancock | CA | Rocklin | 2027 | RHP | 77.2 mph |
9 | Koen Guernsey | CA | Woodcreek | 2026 | C | 77.0 mph |
10 | Luke Szakacs | CA | Rocklin | 2027 | 3B | 75.6 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 | Nolan Miller | CA | Whitney | 2024 | RHP | 2254 rpm |
2 | Javier Ramirez | CA | Jesuit | 2025 | C | 2227 rpm |
3 | Dane Wyles | CA | Woodcreek | 2025 | RHP | 2202 rpm |
4 | Brandon Pelechowicz | CA | Yuba City | 2025 | RHP | 2163 rpm |
5 | Andrew Hancock | CA | Rocklin | 2027 | RHP | 2157 rpm |
6 | Dominic White | CA | Rocklin | 2026 | LHP | 2139 rpm |
7 | Kai Lorenzo | CA | Rocklin | 2025 | RHP | 2068 rpm |
8 | Jacoby Jones | CA | Vista Del Lago | 2026 | RHP | 2029 rpm |
9 | Brodee Malecha | CA | Wheatland | 2027 | RHP | 2015 rpm |
10 | Derric Stephens | CA | Rocklin | 2026 | RHP | 2008 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 | Nolan Miller | CA | Whitney | 2024 | RHP | 74.4 mph |
2 | Kai Lorenzo | CA | Rocklin | 2025 | RHP | 71.4 mph |
3 | Derric Stephens | CA | Rocklin | 2026 | RHP | 68.0 mph |
4 | Brandon Highley | CA | Rocklin | 2025 | OF | 64.7 mph |
5 | Brady Jeffrey | CA | Whitney | 2026 | OF | 64.3 mph |
6 | Luke Szakacs | CA | Rocklin | 2027 | 3B | 64.3 mph |
7 | Andrew Hancock | CA | Rocklin | 2027 | RHP | 64.2 mph |
8 | Dominic White | CA | Rocklin | 2026 | LHP | 63.9 mph |
9 | Koen Guernsey | CA | Woodcreek | 2026 | C | 62.6 mph |
10 | Hughston Rodney | CA | Wheatland | 2027 | RHP | 61.4 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 | Dominic White | CA | Rocklin | 2026 | LHP | 2126 rpm |
2 | Nolan Miller | CA | Whitney | 2024 | RHP | 2122 rpm |
3 | Derric Stephens | CA | Rocklin | 2026 | RHP | 2068 rpm |
4 | Koen Guernsey | CA | Woodcreek | 2026 | C | 2061 rpm |
5 | Kai Lorenzo | CA | Rocklin | 2025 | RHP | 1964 rpm |
6 | Brodee Malecha | CA | Wheatland | 2027 | RHP | 1900 rpm |
7 | Trevor Evangelho | CA | West Park | 2027 | SS | 1869 rpm |
8 | Hughston Rodney | CA | Wheatland | 2027 | RHP | 1846 rpm |
9 | Brady Jeffrey | CA | Whitney | 2026 | OF | 1838 rpm |
10 | Andrew Hancock | CA | Rocklin | 2027 | RHP | 1792 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 | Brandon Pelechowicz | CA | Yuba City | 2025 | RHP | 74.5 mph |
2 | Javier Ramirez | CA | Jesuit | 2025 | C | 73.3 mph |
3 | Jacoby Jones | CA | Vista Del Lago | 2026 | RHP | 70.7 mph |
4 | Dominic White | CA | Rocklin | 2026 | LHP | 66.5 mph |
5 | Dane Wyles | CA | Woodcreek | 2025 | RHP | 66.5 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 | Dane Wyles | CA | Woodcreek | 2025 | RHP | 2276 rpm |
2 | Javier Ramirez | CA | Jesuit | 2025 | C | 2169 rpm |
3 | Dominic White | CA | Rocklin | 2026 | LHP | 2113 rpm |
4 | Brandon Pelechowicz | CA | Yuba City | 2025 | RHP | 1918 rpm |
5 | Jacoby Jones | CA | Vista Del Lago | 2026 | RHP | 1814 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 | Kai Lorenzo | CA | Rocklin | 2025 | RHP | 78.2 mph |
2 | Nolan Miller | CA | Whitney | 2024 | RHP | 77.2 mph |
3 | Brandon Pelechowicz | CA | Yuba City | 2025 | RHP | 76.5 mph |
4 | Javier Ramirez | CA | Jesuit | 2025 | C | 75.0 mph |
5 | Jacoby Jones | CA | Vista Del Lago | 2026 | RHP | 72.4 mph |
6 | Derric Stephens | CA | Rocklin | 2026 | RHP | 72.0 mph |
7 | Dane Wyles | CA | Woodcreek | 2025 | RHP | 70.2 mph |
8 | Andrew Hancock | CA | Rocklin | 2027 | RHP | 69.7 mph |
9 | Brady Jeffrey | CA | Whitney | 2026 | OF | 69.0 mph |
10 | Luke Szakacs | CA | Rocklin | 2027 | 3B | 68.8 mph |
Max Changeup Spin Rate
This metric shows how fast the ball is spinning during the pitch, measured by rpms.
