Trackman Files (Pitchers): Lake Charles Summer ID
May 23, 2024
Lake Charles, LA - The Lake Charles Summer ID was held on Sunday May 19, 2024, at Barbe High School. This was our first open event of the summer and consisted of uncommitted prospects from the 2024-2028 high school classes from across the state. All players in attendance went through an extended pro-style workout, that included batting practice using Trackman and Blast, the 60 yard dash using Swift Performance, defensive evaluations, and much more. After the completion of the workout, all pitchers threw bullpens using Trackman Baseball to capture critical data and metrics such as fastball velocity, vertical/horizontal break, spin rate, and much more.
Today, with the help of one of our tech partners, Trackman Baseball, we continue our post-event coverage with a closer look at the top Trackman metrics and data from the pitchers in attendance at last Sunday's Lake Charles Summer ID.

2 | Michael Griggs | LA | Catholic | 2025 | RHP | 85.9 mph |
3 | Hayes Mire | LA | Kaplan High School | 2025 | LHP | 85.9 mph |

Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Spin Rate (avg) |
1 | Hunter Rogers | LA | Southside High School | 2025 | RHP | 2289 rpm |
2 | Michael Griggs | LA | Catholic | 2025 | RHP | 2248 rpm |
3 | Ty Lamartina | LA | Acadiana High School | 2026 | C | 2167 rpm |
4 | Coleton Donaldson | LA | Sam Houston High School | 2027 | 3B | 2134 rpm |
5 | Carsen Hebert | LA | COVENANT CHRISTIAN ACADEMY | 2025 | OF | 2103 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 | Marcus Lafleur | LA | Lake Charles College Prep | 2027 | RHP | 17.5 |
2 | Hunter Rogers | LA | Southside High School | 2025 | RHP | 15.0 |
3 | Carsen Hebert | LA | COVENANT CHRISTIAN ACADEMY | 2025 | OF | 13.6 |
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) |
1 | Michael Griggs | LA | Catholic | 2025 | RHP | 2488 |
2 | Landry Fawcett | LA | Kinder High School | 2028 | SS | 2455 |
3 | Ty Lamartina | LA | Acadiana High School | 2026 | C | 2386 |
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 CURVEBALL SPIN RATE
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Spin Rate (avg) |
1 | Ty Lamartina | LA | Acadiana High School | 2026 | C | 2697 rpm |
2 | Michael Griggs | LA | Catholic | 2025 | RHP | 2418 rpm |
3 | Landry Fawcett | LA | Kinder High School | 2028 | SS | 2281 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 | Marcus Lafleur | LA | Lake Charles College Prep | 2027 | RHP | 18.9 |
2 | Hunter Rogers | LA | Southside High School | 2025 | RHP | 17.4 |
3 | Aubrey St. Angelo | LA | Brusly High School | 2026 | SS | 17.0 |
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.
