Trackman Files (Pitching): 2026 Baton Rouge Rising Stars Summer ID

July 9, 2026
Alex Armand
Louisiana Scouting Director

Zachary, LA - On Tuesday, July 7, 2026, the Prep Baseball Louisiana staff traveled to the Zachary Youth park, to host our fourth open event of the summer with our Baton Rouge Summer ID, which featured over 40 players in the state's 2027-2029 classes.  Each participant went through a pro-style workout that consisted of running a laser-timed 60-yard dash using Vald Performance, defensive evaluations, and batting practice using Trackman Baseball and Blast Motion.  Each pitcher threw a bullpen with Trackman Baseball running to receive all of their pitching data and metrics.  Below, we take a look at some of the top Trackman pitching data from Tuesday's event.

5 Austin Mudge LA Mandeville 2030 3B 77.4 mph

Rank Name State School Class Pos Spin Rate (avg)
1 Austin Mudge LA Mandeville 2030 3B 2329 rpm
2 John claude Nelson LA Calvary Baptist Academy 2030 OF 2086 rpm
3 Brayden woods LA Sam Houston 2031 OF 1987 rpm
4 Jacob Eason LA Catholic High School Baton Rouge 2031 3B 1921 rpm
5 Caden Teekel LA LSU Laboratory 2031 3B 1911 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 Jacob Eason LA Catholic High School Baton Rouge 2031 3B 17.9
2 Kane Collins LA Central Middle School 2031 1B -17.5
3 Tristan Keller LA Zachary High School 2030 1B 14.5
4 Aysen Remondet LA Lutcher 2031 SS 13.7
5 Riley Ashton LA E.D. White 2030 2B 13.5

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 FASTBALL INDUCED VERTICAL BREAK

Rank Name State School Class Pos IVB (avg)
1 Austin Mudge LA Mandeville 2030 3B 22.6 in
2 Fisher Gafford LA Zachary High School 2030 SS 22.2 in
3 Miller Sevier LA C.E. Byrd 2030 2B 21.2 in
4 Brayden woods LA Sam Houston 2031 OF 19.6 in
5 Camden Chemin LA Live Oak 2030 3B 19.2 in

Induced Vertical Break: IVB simply means the pitch is "breaking" upward from the average level a pitch falls from release to home plate.  The higher the number, the more "rise" the pitch has compared to average. 

AVERAGE SLIDER SPIN RATE

Rank Name State School Class Pos Spin Rate (avg)
1 John claude Nelson LA Calvary Baptist Academy 2030 OF 2398
2 Jacob Eason LA Catholic High School Baton Rouge 2031 3B 2132
3 Britton Sheets LA Catholic 2031 3B 2131
4 Brayden woods LA Sam Houston 2031 OF 2019
5 Aysen Remondet LA Lutcher 2031 SS 1934

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 Austin Mudge LA Mandeville 2030 3B 2184 rpm
2 John claude Nelson LA Calvary Baptist Academy 2030 OF 2171 rpm
3 Riley Ashton LA E.D. White 2030 2B 2095 rpm
4 Britton Sheets LA Catholic 2031 3B 2090 rpm
5 JP Labouisse LA Catholic 2030 C 2003 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 Riley Ashton LA E.D. White 2030 2B 14.9
2 Miller Sevier LA C.E. Byrd 2030 2B 14.3
3 JP Labouisse LA Catholic 2030 C 13.6
4 Jacob Ourso LA St John Interparochial School 2030 C 13.2
5 Caden Teekel LA LSU Laboratory 2031 3B 13.1

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.
