Best of 2025: Top Max Fastball Velocities
December 17, 2025
ALABAMA - As part of our Best of 2025 series, we’re reflecting on the top statistical performers from Prep Baseball Alabama events conducted across the state during the 2025 calendar year. Our staff logged extensive evaluations at a wide range of events, including invite-only showcases, organizational scout days, the ID Series, Fall Games, and Rising Stars ID events, with the year headlined by the Yellowhammer State Games in June and both Preseason All-State events in January. This series pulls together the best measurable performances from across that full slate of events, offering a statewide snapshot of the tools that consistently rose to the top. We continue by spotlighting the top max fastball velocities recorded throughout the 2025 event season.
NOTE: Velocities recorded at Prep Baseball events, including the Yellowhammer State Games, Preseason All-States, ID events, Fall Games, and Future Games, were measured using a TrackMan B1 unit, while readings from organizational scout days were collected using Stalker radar guns.
