Clarksville Summer ID: Data Dive, Pitchers
July 15, 2024
CLARKSVILLE, TN - The Prep Baseball Tennessee Clarksville Summer ID was held on Tuesday, July 2nd at Austin Peay State University. Players went through an extended pro-style workout that included batting practice using Trackman, ran the 60-yard dash using Swift Performance, and much more. Pitchers were able to get numbers and metrics on TrackMan during a bullpen setting. There were some players who showed up and continued to build off of prior performances, but there were also some new names who jumped onto our radar with a strong showing at the event.
Continuing our post-event coverage for this event, we take a look at some of the standouts from the event. Below you will find a deep dive on the pitchers from the Clarksville Summer ID.

1 | Dominic Malich | TN | White House Heritage | 2025 | RHP | 88.6 mph |
2 | Phinn Waters | TN | Briarcrest Christian | 2026 | LHP | 88.5 mph |

6 | Case Collins | TN | Lebanon | 2026 | RHP | 85.2 mph |
7 | Max Rogers | TN | Rossview | 2026 | RHP | 84.9 mph |
8 | Drew Massey | TN | Liberty Creek | 2028 | RHP | 83.3 mph |

SPIN RATE (AVG.)
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Spin Rate (avg) |
1 | Dominic Malich | TN | White House Heritage | 2025 | RHP | 2474 rpm |
2 | Braxton Lillis | TN | Providence Christian Academy | 2026 | LHP | 2316 rpm |
3 | Phinn Waters | TN | Briarcrest Christian | 2026 | LHP | 2299 rpm |
4 | Aiden Smith | TN | Rossview High | 2025 | RHP | 2298 rpm |
5 | Max Rogers | TN | Rossview | 2026 | RHP | 2183 rpm |
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.
SPIN EFFICIENCY% (AVG.)
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Spin Efficiency % (avg) |
1 | Dominic Malich | TN | White House Heritage | 2025 | RHP | 94 % |
2 | Drew Massey | TN | Liberty Creek | 2028 | RHP | 93 % |
3 | Caden Manley | TN | Homeschool (TN) | 2027 | LHP | 92 % |
4 | Case Collins | TN | Lebanon | 2026 | RHP | 90 % |
5 | Chris Irby | TN | Clarksville Academy | 2026 | RHP | 89 % |
Spin Efficiency: This metric is the percentage of the raw spin rate that directly impacts pitch movement; so while raw spin is measured by revolutions per minute (rpm), spin efficiency is the ratio of true spin divided by raw spin. It’s important to understand that more is not always better when it comes to spin efficiency. The optimal spin efficiency on a pitch depends on the pitch type and should be understood in the context of a pitcher’s entire arsenal. Regarding the true four-seam fastball, a spin efficiency close to 100 percent is preferable, indicating that nearly all the backspin generated on the ball as it leaves the pitcher’s hand is contributing to the “riding” action the pitch has as it enters and exits the strike zone, making it especially effective in the upper third of the strike zone.
INDUCED VERTICAL BREAK (AVG.)
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | IVB (avg) |
1 | Phinn Waters | TN | Briarcrest Christian | 2026 | LHP | 21.8 in |
2 | Will Chladny | TN | Summit | 2025 | RHP | 20.6 in |
3 | Dominic Malich | TN | White House Heritage | 2025 | RHP | 19.8 in |
4 | Alex Malich | TN | White House Heritage High School | 2026 | RHP | 19.4 in |
5 | Mason Goins | KY | Franklin County High School | 2027 | OF | 19.2 in |
^ | Maddox Thomas | TN | Summit | 2025 | LHP | 19.2 in |
Induced Vertical Break: Used in short form as "IVB," this metric is most important on fastballs for creating rise and on curveballs for creating depth – it can also have some use when measuring sliders and cutters as well. Sliders tend to be closer to zero inches while cutters are generally between 5 and 15 inches. Usually fastballs and curveballs with large IVB have higher spin efficiencies as well. Sliders generally have very little (closer to zero) IVB and very low spin efficiency. You could also categorize IVB into spin rate as this is part of the “useful movement” you’re looking for. IVB is also a huge part of the vertical approach angle.
HORIZONTAL MOVEMENT (AVG.)
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | HM (avg) |
1 | Ethan Miles | KY | Heritage Christian Academy | 2027 | LHP | -14.3 |
2 | Chris Irby | TN | Clarksville Academy | 2026 | RHP | 13.7 |
3 | Preston Luckett | KY | Scott County High School | 2025 | RHP | 12.7 |
4 | Aiden Smith | TN | Rossview High | 2025 | RHP | 12.2 |
5 | Jayden Gaylor | TN | Rossview | 2026 | RHP | 11.5 |
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.”
STRIKE ZONE RATE%
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Zone % |
1 | Drew Massey | TN | Liberty Creek | 2028 | RHP | 80 % |

3 | Beckett Haselhuhn | TN | Rossview | 2027 | OF | 60 % |
Average MLB pitchers throw 62 percent strikes, and better pitchers throw strikes 65 percent of the time, or a ratio of roughly 2:1, strikes to balls.
