CBA Scout Day – Event Rewind

The CBA Scout Day was held on Saturday, November 1, 2025, at Palisades High School in Charlotte, NC. This event gave players a chance to work directly with their organization in a structured, pro-style workout designed to capture key analytics and performance metrics.

Participants completed multiple rounds of batting practice, a defensive workout, and bullpens for pitchers, allowing coaches and scouts to evaluate both skill and in-game performance. While this Scout Day did not include BLAST Motion swing metrics, jump testing, or body measurements, the event focused on collecting essential stats and analytics to track player development.

This blog series will highlight the top performers from the CBA Scout Day, showcasing players who stood out during workouts, providing insight into those making a strong impression within their organization.

TRACKMAN PITCHING DATA - CBA Baseball Scout Day

FASTBALL

MAX VELOCITY

Rank Name State School Class Pos Velocity (max)
1 Matthew Winser NC Homeschool (NC) 2027 2B 86.8 mph
2 Braxton Faulkner NC Reagan 2029 SS 86.3 mph
3 Charlie Stafford NC Providence 2027 OF 85.8 mph
4 Ayden Coble NC Jay M. Robinson 2027 RHP 84.9 mph
5 Luke Douglas NC Marvin Ridge 2028 OF 84.1 mph
6 Austin Tack NC Apex 2029 3B 83.1 mph
7 Tyler Wright NC Hickory Grove Christian 2027 RHP 83.0 mph
8 TJ Coleman NC Wilson Preparatory Academy 2029 LHP 83.0 mph
9 Landen McElhinny NC Corvian 2029 RHP 82.8 mph
10 Whitton Butler NC High Point Christian Academy 2029 1B 82.7 mph

Max Fastball Velocity: This metric calculates the speed of the pitch as it’s released from the pitcher’s hand.

HIGHEST AVG. SPIN RATE

Rank Name State School Class Pos Spin Rate (avg)
1 Ayden Coble NC Jay M. Robinson 2027 RHP 2664 rpm
2 Luke Douglas NC Marvin Ridge 2028 OF 2529 rpm
3 Braxton Faulkner NC Reagan 2029 SS 2398 rpm
4 Landen McElhinny NC Corvian 2029 RHP 2381 rpm
5 Matthew Winser NC Homeschool (NC) 2027 2B 2301 rpm
6 TJ Coleman NC Wilson Preparatory Academy 2029 LHP 2220 rpm
7 Austin Tack NC Apex 2029 3B 1989 rpm
8 Tyler Wright NC Hickory Grove Christian 2027 RHP 1935 rpm
9 Carter Reddick NC Southeast Guilford High 2029 RHP 1925 rpm
10 Whitton Butler NC High Point Christian Academy 2029 1B 1584 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.

HIGHEST AVG. IVB

Rank Name State School Class Pos IVB (avg)
1 Aiden Kirkland NC High Point Christian Academy 2028 SS 24.1 in
2 Whitton Butler NC High Point Christian Academy 2029 1B 19.5 in
3 Landen McElhinny NC Corvian 2029 RHP 18.1 in
4 Ethan Holzbaur NC Pine Lake Prep 2029 RHP 16.7 in
5 Luke Douglas NC Marvin Ridge 2028 OF 16.1 in
6 Braxton Faulkner NC Reagan 2029 SS 15.5 in
7 Ayden Coble NC Jay M. Robinson 2027 RHP 15.3 in
8 Austin Tack NC Apex 2029 3B 14.8 in
9 Charlie Stafford NC Providence 2027 OF 14.6 in
10 TJ Coleman NC Wilson Preparatory Academy 2029 LHP 13.9 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 efficiency. You could also categorize IVB into spin rate as this is part of the “useful movement” you’re looking for, and it’s also important to consider the pitch’s velocity as well as its release height when evaluating IVB measurements against each other.

HIGHEST AVG. HORIZONTAL MOVEMENT

Rank Name State School Class Pos HM (avg)
1 Tyler Wright NC Hickory Grove Christian 2027 RHP 19.8
2 Braxton Faulkner NC Reagan 2029 SS 16.1

4 TJ Coleman NC Wilson Preparatory Academy 2029 LHP -15.2
5 Matthew Winser NC Homeschool (NC) 2027 2B 15.1
6 Charlie Stafford NC Providence 2027 OF 14.2
7 Davis Hautop NC Charlotte Christian 2028 LHP -13.5
8 Austin Tack NC Apex 2029 3B 13.1
9 Ethan Holzbaur NC Pine Lake Prep 2029 RHP 13.1
10 Landen McElhinny NC Corvian 2029 RHP 12.1

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.”
