Trosky Texas Scout Day - TrackMan Files
July 7, 2022
On Wedensday, June 8, we hosted the Trosky Texas Scout Day at the University of Houston The event featured over 100 prospects from the organization.
Today, we’re continuing our post-event analysis by examining the data measured by our TrackMan units. The technology is able to capture information that’s difficult to capture by the naked eye, like pitch-by-pitch metrics and batted-ball data. We’ll explain more below:
MAX FASTBALL & PEAK SPIN RATE
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Velocity (max) |
1 | Cole Kaase | TX | Katy | 2023 | RHP | 91.1 mph |
2 | Anthony Diaz | TX | Paetow | 2023 | LHP | 86.9 mph |
3 | Julian Scott | TX | Benjamin Davis | 2023 | RHP | 83.9 mph |
4 | Jaxon Coan | TX | Pearland | 2024 | LHP | 82.5 mph |
5 | Van Brady | TX | Huntsville | 2025 | 2B | 81.5 mph |
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Spin Rate (max) |
1 | Adrian Rendon III | TX | The Kinkaid School | 2024 | RHP | 2290 rpm |
2 | Jaxon Coan | TX | Pearland | 2024 | LHP | 2283 rpm |
3 | Collin Sanders | TX | Huntsville | 2023 | SS | 2190 rpm |
4 | Dean Crisler | TX | Santa Fe | 2023 | RHP | 2173 rpm |
5 | Cole Kaase | TX | Katy | 2023 | RHP | 2168 rpm |
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 | Anthony Diaz | TX | Paetow | 2023 | LHP | -16.7 |
2 | Ayden Mooring | TX | Barbers Hill | 2025 | 1B | 16.2 |
3 | Diego Gonzalez | TX | Ross S. Sterling | 2025 | LHP | -15.6 |
4 | Nolan Hughes | TX | St. John's School | 2024 | LHP | -14.9 |
5 | Cristian Rubio | TX | Strake Jesuit | 2025 | LHP | -14.5 |
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.”
