TrackMan Pitching Leaders: Outer Banks Fall ID & First Flight HS Scout Day

Outer Banks Fall ID & First Flight Scout Day – Event Rewind

The Outer Banks Fall ID and First Flight High School Scout Day were held simultaneously at First Flight High School in Kill Devil Hills, NC, bringing together a strong group of players from the eastern part of the state for a full day of evaluation and data collection.

Participants went through a pro-style workout, which included multiple rounds of batting practice and a defensive workout in front of Prep Baseball’s scouting staff. TrackMan technology was used throughout the day to capture detailed ball flight data during BP and pitcher bullpens, providing measurable insight into each player’s performance.

Athletic testing powered by VALD Performance included laser-timed 60-yard dashes with 10-yard and 30-yard splits, offering verified data on each athlete’s speed and explosiveness.

This blog series will highlight the top performers from the event, featuring statistical leaders and standout players across multiple categories as we take a deeper look at the talent on display in the Outer Banks.

TRACKMAN PITCHING DATA - Outer Banks ID & First Flight Scout Day

FASTBALL

MAX VELOCITY

Rank Name State School Class Pos Velocity (max)
1 Kaiwi Sharp NC First Flight High School 2029 SS 82.0 mph
2 Benjamin LaVier NC First Flight High School 2028 LHP 81.5 mph
3 Cole Conelias VA First Colonial High 2028 OF 81.1 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 Ryden Reynolds NC First Flight High School 2028 3B 2064 rpm
2 Dylan McAvoy NC First Flight High School 2029 RHP 2033 rpm
3 Will Britt NC First Flight High School 2028 2B 1556 rpm
4 Declan Reilly NC First Flight High School 2029 OF 1525 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 Benjamin LaVier NC First Flight High School 2028 LHP 17.8 in
2 Will Britt NC First Flight High School 2028 2B 17.7 in
3 Dylan McAvoy NC First Flight High School 2029 RHP 16.0 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 Will Britt NC First Flight High School 2028 2B 10.6
2 Dylan McAvoy NC First Flight High School 2029 RHP 9.9
3 Benjamin LaVier NC First Flight High School 2028 LHP -9.0
4 Kaiwi Sharp NC First Flight High School 2029 SS 9.0
5 Declan Reilly NC First Flight High School 2029 OF -3.5

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.”
