2026 Oklahoma Express Scout Day: Pitcher's Data Dive

June 2, 2026
Bret Schwartz
Oklahoma Scouting Director

On Saturday, May 24th, the Prep Baseball Oklahoma staff hosted the Oklahoma Express Scout Day at the home of Bethany High School. We had 20 players participate in a pro-style workout in front of our staff, gathering data through the help of our unrivaled tech partners.

Today, we dive deeper on the mound with help from our tech partner Trackman as we look at various peripheral metrics.

4 Kayden Vibbard OK Mulhall-Orlando 2029 SS 1655 rpm 1555 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.

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.”

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 efficiencies. You could also categorize IVB into spin rate as this is part of the “useful movement” you’re looking for. IVB is also a huge part of vertical approach angle.
