Madison Summer ID: Pitcher Data Dive
June 26, 2024
On June. 25th, The Prep Baseball Wisconsin staff hosted The Madison Summer ID. Perennially, this showcase helps introduce our staff to new need-to-know players in the state that we’d not yet seen before, as well as provided us with updated looks at players who’ve earned our attention in the past.
Earlier today, we looked at the top measurable data performers from the event, found in our Statistical Analysis , where we broke down the stat leaders from the more traditional categories. We also released our Quick Hits from the event, highlighting some of the event's top prospects.
Now, we will take a further in-depth look at the top pitchers with the help of our tech partnerships, broken down by the categories down below:
TRACKMAN
FASTBALL
VELOCITY (MAX)
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Velocity (max) |
1 | Brock Frye | WI | Omro | 2025 | RHP | 83.1 mph |
2 | Myles Hosking | WI | Vel Phillips Memorial | 2026 | RHP | 80.8 mph |
3 | Ethan Stai | WI | Fall River | 2026 | LHP | 80.1 mph |
4 | Carson Page | WI | Port Washington | 2025 | RHP | 79.7 mph |
5 | Jackson Farina | WI | Waukesha West | 2027 | OF | 79.3 mph |
6 | Cason Genin | WI | Verona | 2027 | SS | 76.8 mph |
7 | Wes Willenburg | WI | Verona | 2026 | 3B | 74.8 mph |
8 | Jack Towne | WI | Columbus | 2026 | OF | 74.5 mph |
9 | Anthony Stowell Jr. | WI | Edgerton | 2027 | SS | 73.2 mph |
Max Fastball Velocity: This metric calculates the speed of the pitch as it’s released from the pitcher’s hand.
SPIN RATE (AVG.)
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Spin Rate (avg) |
1 | Brock Frye | WI | Omro | 2025 | RHP | 2169 rpm |
2 | Cason Genin | WI | Verona | 2027 | SS | 2094 rpm |
3 | Myles Hosking | WI | Vel Phillips Memorial | 2026 | RHP | 2088 rpm |
4 | Ethan Stai | WI | Fall River | 2026 | LHP | 2067 rpm |
5 | Carson Page | WI | Port Washington | 2025 | RHP | 1980 rpm |
6 | Anthony Stowell Jr. | WI | Edgerton | 2027 | SS | 1912 rpm |
7 | Jackson Farina | WI | Waukesha West | 2027 | OF | 1800 rpm |
8 | Wes Willenburg | WI | Verona | 2026 | 3B | 1562 rpm |
9 | Jack Towne | WI | Columbus | 2026 | OF | 1293 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.
INDUCED VERTICAL BREAK (AVG.)
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | IVB (avg) |
1 | Ethan Stai | WI | Fall River | 2026 | LHP | 15.6 in |
2 | Brock Frye | WI | Omro | 2025 | RHP | 15.4 in |
3 | Wes Willenburg | WI | Verona | 2026 | 3B | 15.0 in |
4 | Myles Hosking | WI | Vel Phillips Memorial | 2026 | RHP | 12.5 in |
5 | Anthony Stowell Jr. | WI | Edgerton | 2027 | SS | 12.4 in |
6 | Carson Page | WI | Port Washington | 2025 | RHP | 11.2 in |
7 | Jack Towne | WI | Columbus | 2026 | OF | 11.1 in |
8 | Jackson Farina | WI | Waukesha West | 2027 | OF | 9.1 in |
9 | Cason Genin | WI | Verona | 2027 | SS | 7.2 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 efficiencies. 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 vertical approach angle.
HORIZONTAL MOVEMENT (AVG.)
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | HM (avg) |
1 | Carson Page | WI | Port Washington | 2025 | RHP | 17.4 |
2 | Myles Hosking | WI | Vel Phillips Memorial | 2026 | RHP | 15.8 |
3 | Jackson Farina | WI | Waukesha West | 2027 | OF | 14.5 |
4 | Anthony Stowell Jr. | WI | Edgerton | 2027 | SS | 14.1 |
5 | Brock Frye | WI | Omro | 2025 | RHP | 13.9 |
6 | Jack Towne | WI | Columbus | 2026 | OF | 9.0 |
7 | Cason Genin | WI | Verona | 2027 | SS | 3.9 |
8 | Wes Willenburg | WI | Verona | 2026 | 3B | 3.3 |
9 | Ethan Stai | WI | Fall River | 2026 | LHP | -3.0 |
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.”
