 We would like to thank all who participated in PBR Ohio's 2020 Southern Ohio Top Prospect Games. This was a great opportunity for the class of 2021-2023 prospects to be put on college radars. Many players impressed during their individual workouts at the showcase. Below we have the complete statistical results from the event as well as the top performers across various different categories.

2020 Southern Ohio Top Prospect Games - Advanced Hitting Metrics

Notes:

• Recorded metrics are based off of Trackman and Blast technology.
• Exit Velocity:  Exit Velo is the speed of the baseball as it comes off the bat after contact.

Fastball Spin Rates

The average fastball spin rate at the MLB level can range from 2050-2250 rpm. The average at the high school level will be lower, but can be hard to track as most pitchers that are getting spin rate readings, are typically more advanced. When looking at fastball spin rates, coaches and scouts are looking for pitchers that are outside the norm. High spin rate fastball, typically, tend to ride on hitter, creating swing and miss, and playing at the top of the strike zone. Low spin rate guys, typically, are creating some sink on their fastball, or the appearance that the fastball is diving.

The pure spin rate does not tell the whole story on any one pitch. Coaches and scouts are also evaluating spin efficiency and spin direction. They also want to see some consistency, pitch-to-pitch, on the release point. To learn more about Trackman data and what it all means, click here.

Name	Position	School	Class	Total Spin
Steven Jones	RHP	Brookville	2021	2189-2549rpm
Nicholas Weyrich	RHP	Urbana	2021	2375-2436rpm
Bryce Amos	RHP	Shadyside	2022	1968-2395rpm
Caleb Jenkins	RHP	Hilliard Bradley	2021	2212-2294rpm
Evan Whiteaker	RHP	Lakota East	2022	2176-2260rpm

Fastball Horizontal Break

Horizontal break is 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.

Name	Position	School	Class	Horizontal Break
Jacob Rocky	LHP	St. Ignatius	2021	-19.6in
Johnathon Ray	RHP	Sylvania Northview	2021	19.2in
Brady Davis	RHP	Eaton	2022	18.5in
Ricky Freeman	RHP	North Canton Hoover	2022	18in
Nicholas Zarbo	RHP	St. Ignatius	2021	17.9

Fastball Vertical Break

Vertical break is the distance, measured in inches, between where the pitch actually crosses the front of home plate height-wise, and where it would have crossed home plate height-wise if had it traveled in a perfectly straight line from release, but affected by gravity.

Name	Position	School	Class	Vertical Break
Quinn Benner	RHP	Mariemont	2022	23.9in
Kaden Davidson	RHP	Edgewood	2022	23.1in
Brennyn Bell-Bucher	RHP	Badin	2022	22.5in
Harrison Barnes	RHP	Sycamore	2021	22.3in
Dawson Pierce	RHP	Chagrin Falls	2021	21.3in

Breaking Ball Spin Rates

Typically bigger spin can mean bigger break, but again on the breaking ball the spin efficiency can play a part. There are also studies that show the speed of the pitch can affect if the spin rate has a chance to take hold and create the break a pitcher is looking for.

Bryce Amos	RHP	Shadyside	2022	2521-2609rpm
