Mid-South Preseason ID: TrackMan Files
January 31, 2024
COLLIERVILLE, TN - The Mid-South Preseason ID was held on Saturday, January 27th at Collierville High School's Indoor Facility. This event was an open event that consisted of players from the 2024-2028 classes from Volunteer state. 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. 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.
Kicking off our post-event coverage for this event, we take a look back at some of the top performers from the event.

Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Spin Rate (avg) |
1 | Lance Bryan | TN | Briarcrest Christian | 2025 | RHP | 2448 rpm |
2 | Ridge Harvey | TN | Collierville | 2025 | LHP | 2246 rpm |
3 | Hunter Harkness | TN | Tipton-Rosemark Academy | 2025 | RHP | 2173 rpm |

5 | Hudson Rushing | TN | UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF JACKSON | 2027 | OF | 2056 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 | Ty Holman | TN | Christian Brothers | 2027 | RHP | 18.4 |
2 | Ian Chambers | TN | Collierville | 2025 | OF | 14.3 |
3 | Chase Armistead | TN | Sacramento Charter High | 2027 | RHP | 12.1 |
4 | Lance Bryan | TN | Briarcrest Christian | 2025 | RHP | 10.4 |
5 | Conner Palmer | TN | First Assembly Christian | 2026 | 1B | 9.6 |
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.”
AVERAGE SLIDER SPIN RATE
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Spin Rate (avg) |

5 | Hunter Harkness | TN | Tipton-Rosemark Academy | 2025 | RHP | 2019 |
Spin Rate: The metric calculates how fast the ball is spinning as it leaves the pitcher’s hand, reported in the number of times the pitched ball would spin per minute (“revolutions per minute” or “rpm”).

5 | Chase Armistead | TN | Sacramento Charter High | 2027 | RHP | 1758 rpm |
Spin Rate: The metric calculates how fast the ball is spinning as it leaves the pitcher’s hand, reported in the number of times the pitched ball would spin per minute (“revolutions per minute” or “rpm”).
AVERAGE CHANGEUP HORIZONTAL MOVEMENT
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | HM (avg) |
1 | Lance Bryan | TN | Briarcrest Christian | 2025 | RHP | 18.9 |
2 | Ty Holman | TN | Christian Brothers | 2027 | RHP | 18.7 |
3 | Hunter Harkness | TN | Tipton-Rosemark Academy | 2025 | RHP | 16.7 |
4 | Bradley Stubbs | TN | Collierville High School | 2026 | SS | 16.5 |
5 | Christian Hare | MS | Magnolia Heights | 2026 | 2B | 13.3 |
Horizontal Break: This metric measures the distance, 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.
