On July 21st PBR VA/DC Staff held its Top Prospect Games III event at Bryant & Stratton College, that featured some of the best talent in the area. In this post event analysis we go inside the Trackman data from the on field BP and live outings by pitchers during the event and break down the leaders in some key categories.
Top Fastball Velocity

| Brian Ferreira | Huntingtown (MD) | 2021 | 84.78 |

Top Fastball Spin Rate
The average spin rate on a Major League fastball is 2250-2350 RPMs. MLB fastballs with high spin tend to be thrown up in the zone because they appear to rise to hitters, causing the hitter to swing under them. Heavy sink fastballs have spin rates below 1800 and are thrown down in the zone to take advantage of that.
