SANTA BARBARA, CALIF. - Players gathered at Westmont College on Sunday, June 9 for the second of three Future Games Tryouts. A roster will be picked from these three tryouts to represent California at LakePoint, Georgia at the 2024 Prep Baseball Future Games. This event featured exclusive uncommitted 2026 and 2027 graduates with the ultimate destination in Georgia for the premier uncommitted event in the country.
Players were put through the traditional showcase workout that included a 60 yard sprint test and Jump Test on Swift, On Field Batting Practice, defensive workouts at their positions and concluded with pitchers facing live hitters in a 8 inning simulated scrimmage. Trackman was in use for all hitting and pitching sessions to gather data and help measure their present athletic proficiencies and future projectability. As well, Blast Motion was utilized to gather data on swing performance from each player during batting practice.
Today's leaderboards feature the data gathered TrackMan unit, measuring ball flight metrics from pitchers. For some of the standout performers head to the Quick Hits.

CATEGORICAL LEADERS
Max Fastball Velocity
The maximum velocity of the pitch measured right at release.
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Velocity (max) |
1 | Tristan Ramos | CA | ORANGE LUTHERAN HIGH SCHOOL | 2026 | OF | 89.6 mph |
2 | Jameson Berigan | CA | Thousand Oaks High | 2026 | RHP | 87.9 mph |
3 | Luke Armijo | CA | La Mirada | 2027 | LHP | 86.9 mph |
4 | Jonny Haskett | CA | St. Augustine High School | 2026 | RHP | 86.4 mph |
5 | Cristian Mares | CA | St. Augustine | 2025 | RHP | 85.7 mph |
6 | Blue Hunter | CA | Santa Monica High | 2025 | OF | 85.6 mph |
7 | Brayden Charness | CA | Sierra Canyon | 2026 | LHP | 84.5 mph |

10 | Cody Reynolds | CA | Cathedral Catholic San Diego | 2027 | LHP | 79.4 mph |
Max Fastball Spin Rate
The max amount of revolutions per minute (rpm) of a pitch. For fastballs, a higher rpm causes the ball to drop less due to gravity, this gives the illusion of a rising pitch.
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Spin Rate (max) |
1 | Jameson Berigan | CA | Thousand Oaks High | 2026 | RHP | 2578 rpm |
2 | Jonny Haskett | CA | St. Augustine High School | 2026 | RHP | 2534 rpm |
3 | Cristian Mares | CA | St. Augustine | 2025 | RHP | 2421 rpm |
4 | Luke Armijo | CA | La Mirada | 2027 | LHP | 2375 rpm |
5 | Blue Hunter | CA | Santa Monica High | 2025 | OF | 2316 rpm |
6 | Tristan Ramos | CA | ORANGE LUTHERAN HIGH SCHOOL | 2026 | OF | 2286 rpm |
7 | Eric Yao | CA | Los Osos High | 2027 | RHP | 2269 rpm |
8 | Chase Renzo | CA | Chaminade College Preparatory | 2027 | SS | 2260 rpm |
9 | Declan Higgins | CA | St Augustine | 2027 | 2B | 2252 rpm |
10 | Justin Gaisford | CA | Valencia High | 2026 | LHP | 2252 rpm |
Max Curveball Velocity
Like many things in baseball, the faster the better. A fast off-speed pitch while maintaining traditional movement patterns makes the pitch harder to hit. The measured velocity for this metric is right as the pitch leaves the hand.
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Velocity (max) |
1 | Jonny Haskett | CA | St. Augustine High School | 2026 | RHP | 71.6 mph |
2 | Jameson Berigan | CA | Thousand Oaks High | 2026 | RHP | 70.9 mph |
3 | Elijah Alvarez | CA | Norco | 2027 | OF | 69.1 mph |
4 | Eric Yao | CA | Los Osos High | 2027 | RHP | 68.2 mph |
5 | Declan Higgins | CA | St Augustine | 2027 | 2B | 66.5 mph |
6 | Justin Gaisford | CA | Valencia High | 2026 | LHP | 66.4 mph |
7 | Mason Hackler | CA | Turlock | 2027 | 3B | 65.7 mph |
8 | Rainen Tolentino | CA | Foothill Technology | 2026 | OF | 65.0 mph |
Max Curveball Spin Rate
The spin rate for a curveball tends to be the highest among all the pitches in a pitcher's arsenal. A higher spin rate, measured in rpms, on a curveball generally means more downward movement when combined with the top spin of the pitch.
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Spin Rate (max) |
1 | Jonny Haskett | CA | St. Augustine High School | 2026 | RHP | 2728 rpm |
2 | Declan Higgins | CA | St Augustine | 2027 | 2B | 2513 rpm |
3 | Eric Yao | CA | Los Osos High | 2027 | RHP | 2379 rpm |
4 | Mason Hackler | CA | Turlock | 2027 | 3B | 2131 rpm |
5 | Justin Gaisford | CA | Valencia High | 2026 | LHP | 2002 rpm |
6 | Elijah Alvarez | CA | Norco | 2027 | OF | 1826 rpm |
7 | Jameson Berigan | CA | Thousand Oaks High | 2026 | RHP | 1725 rpm |
8 | Rainen Tolentino | CA | Foothill Technology | 2026 | OF | 1478 rpm |
Max Slider Velocity
Sliders generally are faster than most other off-speed pitches with less overall movement. This metric measures the speed of the slider when it comes out of the hand.
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Velocity (max) |
1 | Jameson Berigan | CA | Thousand Oaks High | 2026 | RHP | 79.4 mph |
2 | Cristian Mares | CA | St. Augustine | 2025 | RHP | 78.8 mph |
3 | Tristan Ramos | CA | ORANGE LUTHERAN HIGH SCHOOL | 2026 | OF | 78.8 mph |
4 | Luke Armijo | CA | La Mirada | 2027 | LHP | 78.5 mph |
5 | Brayden Charness | CA | Sierra Canyon | 2026 | LHP | 75.6 mph |
6 | Logan Mull | CA | Valley Christian | 2027 | C | 73.7 mph |
7 | Cody Reynolds | CA | Cathedral Catholic San Diego | 2027 | LHP | 71.2 mph |
8 | Chase Renzo | CA | Chaminade College Preparatory | 2027 | SS | 70.9 mph |
9 | Eric Yao | CA | Los Osos High | 2027 | RHP | 70.4 mph |
10 | Blue Hunter | CA | Santa Monica High | 2025 | OF | 69.7 mph |
Max Slider Spin Rate
The higher the spin rate for a horizontal pitch like the slider means that it will have more movement from right to left for a right handed pitcher. This metric measures the maximum spin rate of a pitcher's slider in rpms.
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Spin Rate (max) |
1 | Tristan Ramos | CA | ORANGE LUTHERAN HIGH SCHOOL | 2026 | OF | 2785 rpm |
