Underclass Pitching Data Dive: Utah Preseason All-State

February 24, 2026
RJ Elmore
Western Operations Director

St. George, UT – The Utah Preseason All-State was held on Saturday, February 21st at Crimson Cliffs High School in St. George, UT. This invite-only event featured around 150 prospects from the 2026 to 2030 classes, bringing together many of the top players from across the state ahead of the spring season.

Participants took part in an extended, pro-style workout that included batting practice tracked by TrackMan and Blast Motion, 60-yard dash testing powered by VALD Performance, and a full defensive evaluation. Pitchers threw bullpens, capturing advanced metrics via our TrackMan unit such as pitch velocity, spin rate, and horizontal and vertical movement. The event also served as a key identifier for future Prep Baseball events, including the Super Sophomore Games, Top Prospect Games, and the 2026 Future Games. 

Below is the top overall Trackman Pitching metrics recorded from Underclassmen the event.

FASTBALL

MAX VELOCITY

Rank Name State School Class Pos Velocity (max)
1 Kash Sissener UT Snow Canyon 2028 RHP 89.7 mph
2 Jason Pintar UT Spanish Fork 2028 SS 88.8 mph
3 Cruz Adams UT American Fork 2028 3B 86.5 mph
4 Cody McLean UT Spanish Fork 2028 SS 85.7 mph
5 Boston Hatch UT Riverton 2028 LHP 84.6 mph
6 Tobin Degelbeck UT Pleasant Grove 2028 SS 84.6 mph
7 Mason Glauser UT Riverton 2028 RHP 83.9 mph
8 Cohen Nelson UT Spanish Fork 2028 SS 83.5 mph
9 Cohen Fuller UT Desert Hills 2029 SS 82.6 mph
10 Beckett Hendry UT Orem 2028 LHP 82.1 mph
11 Jens Price UT American Fork 2028 3B 82.0 mph
12 Jagur Jensen UT Ridgeline 2029 RHP 81.6 mph
13 Hayden Schneider UT Riverton 2029 OF 81.4 mph
14 Preston Higgins UT Canyon View 2029 3B 80.9 mph
15 Mason Wolk UT Syracuse 2029 3B 80.2 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) Velocity (max)
1 Cruz Adams UT American Fork 2028 3B 2314 rpm 86.5 mph
2 Boston Hatch UT Riverton 2028 LHP 2301 rpm 84.6 mph
3 Jason Pintar UT Spanish Fork 2028 SS 2293 rpm 88.8 mph
4 Jens Price UT American Fork 2028 3B 2267 rpm 82.0 mph
5 Mason Wolk UT Syracuse 2029 3B 2234 rpm 80.2 mph

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) Velocity (max)
1 Jens Price UT American Fork 2028 3B 18.8 in 82.0 mph
2 Preston Higgins UT Canyon View 2029 3B 17.0 in 80.9 mph
3 Porter Eddington UT Maple Mountain 2028 RHP 16.9 in 79.6 mph
4 Carson Fackrell UT Cedar City 2028 OF 16.8 in 79.7 mph
5 Mason Glauser UT Riverton 2028 RHP 16.6 in 83.9 mph

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) Velocity (max)
1 Cohen Nelson UT Spanish Fork 2028 SS 16.5 83.5 mph
2 Boston Hatch UT Riverton 2028 LHP -16.5 84.6 mph
3 Cruz Adams UT American Fork 2028 3B 16.2 86.5 mph
4 Ryder Sanchez UT Copper Hills 2028 OF 14.8 74.8 mph
5 Porter Eddington UT Maple Mountain 2028 RHP 14.2 79.6 mph

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.”

For some context, in 2023 MLB pitchers averaged an In Zone% of around 49 percent in live game settings measured across all pitch types, according to Statcast.
