Wilmington Fall ID – Event Rewind

The Wilmington Fall ID took place on Sunday, October 26, 2025, at UNC Wilmington’s Brooks Field, home of the Seahawks. The event brought together a talented group of players from across the region for a comprehensive day of evaluation in front of Prep Baseball’s scouting staff.

Players participated in a pro-style workout that included multiple rounds of batting practice, a defensive workout, and bullpens for pitchers. TrackMan technology was used throughout the day to capture ball flight data during both BP and bullpens, while BLAST Motion provided detailed pre-contact swing metrics for hitters.

Athletic testing, powered by VALD Performance, featured laser-timed 60-yard dashes with 10-yard and 30-yard splits, as well as jump testing that included RSI jumps and vertical measurements. In addition, players completed a series of body measurements to round out the full evaluation profile.

This blog series will spotlight the top performers and statistical leaders from the Wilmington Fall ID, offering an in-depth look at the athletes who stood out during testing and live evaluations.

TRACKMAN PITCHING DATA - Wilmington Fall ID

FASTBALL

MAX VELOCITY

Rank Name State School Class Pos Velocity (max)
1 Dylan Stacks NC North Brunswick 2026 RHP 90.8 mph
2 Camden Croom NC New Hanover 2026 RHP 90.2 mph
3 Gibson Todd NC Topsail 2026 SS 88.8 mph
4 Peyton Tarlton NC Metrolina Christian Academy 2028 OF 84.4 mph
5 Braeden Ritchie NC Topsail 2026 OF 83.1 mph
6 RJ Browning NC Topsail 2027 SS 82.7 mph
7 Fisher Taylor NC Topsail 2028 SS 82.3 mph
8 Troy Haynes NC Green Hope 2028 3B 82.1 mph
9 Jacob Grimm NC East Carteret 2028 SS 81.9 mph
10 Maddox Frost NC West Carteret High 2028 2B 81.0 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 Braeden Ritchie NC Topsail 2026 OF 2446 rpm
2 Taylor Stewart NC Hoggard 2027 SS 2408 rpm
3 Connor Stein NC Emsley A Laney 2029 1B 2348 rpm
4 Maddox Frost NC West Carteret High 2028 2B 2331 rpm
5 RJ Browning NC Topsail 2027 SS 2225 rpm
6 Gibson Todd NC Topsail 2026 SS 2204 rpm
7 Brooks Keeler NC Hoggard 2028 RHP 2157 rpm
8 Fisher Taylor NC Topsail 2028 SS 2146 rpm
9 Parker Yates NC New Hanover 2029 RHP 2069 rpm
10 Tyson Cameron NC Pro5 Academy 2028 C 2051 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)

9 Bryson Cockerham NC Eugene Ashley 2029 SS 15.2 in
10 Gibson Todd NC Topsail 2026 SS 14.9 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.

10 Hudson Simmerman NC Hoggard 2029 RHP 14.8

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.”
