Top Prospect Games Underclass: TrackMan Files
June 10, 2022
On Tuesday, June 7, the PBR Missouri staff traveled to Atkins Field in Columbia, MO, to host the Top Prospect Games: Underclass event. Formerly touted as the MO Underclass Games, this invite-only event featured more than 60 names representing the 2024-to-2026 grad classes across the entire ‘Show Me’ state. Those in attendance will participate in a pro-style workout to begin the event, followed by live game action.

Yesterday we rolled out the Stat Story from this event, highlighting which players found themselves atop the leaderboards from this event. Today, with the help of our tech partners, we'll dive deeper into the numbers collected by analyzing the pitch metrics and batted ball data captured throughout the day.
Read below to see which prospects' popped from a data standpoint on our TrackMan units.

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.
Average Fastball Horizontal Movement
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | HM (avg) |
1 | Landon Matthews | MO | LAFAYETTE SR. HIGH | 2026 | RHP | 18.1 |
2 | Alex Korte | MO | Christian Brothers College | 2024 | RHP | 18.0 |
3 | Derek Rockett | MO | Higbee | 2024 | SS | 15.6 |
4 | Harrison Lear | MO | Blair Oaks | 2024 | RHP | 15.2 |
5 | Jackson Heimann | MO | St. John Vianney | 2024 | OF | 14.9 |
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.”
