Fastball
Hop+
A fastball with hop has a flat approach angle and visually jumps through the zone. When thrown up in the zone, it is more likely to generate a higher swing and miss average. Hop+ of 100 is MLB average.
Fastball
Sink+
A fastball with sink has low backspin and drops through the strike zone. When thrown down in the zone, it is more likely to generate a higher ground ball percentage and lower launch angle. Sink+ of 100 is MLB average.
Fastball
Rise+
A fastball with rise has a high percentage of backspin. When thrown up in the zone, it is more likely to generate a higher fly ball percentage. Rise+ of 100 is MLB average

Body: 6-3, 190-pounds. Proportional frame, solid lower half. Well developed.
Delivery: Hybrid start from the 1B side of the rubber. Controlled delivery.
Arm Action: RH. Mid 3/4 arm action.
FB: T83.2, 81-83 mph. Moves arm side, late run. T2237, 2153 average rpm.
SL: 67-70 mph. Good feel in the zone, solid shape. T2197, 2099 average rpm.
CH: 70-73 mph. Locatees to both sides of the dish, backs up to the arm side. Plays down. T1875, 1814 average rpm.
Position: OF/RHP
Body: 6-foot, 145-pound lean projectable frame.
Hit: (RHH) Starts in an open athletic stance with a controlled load, then uses a toe tap. Raw bat speed. High finish, upward swing. Pull side approach.
Power: 79 mph exit velocity, average 69.15 mph. 62.71 mph bat speed average. 19.03 mph hand speed average.
Defense: (IF) Consistent hands, smooth footwork, quick exchange. Advanced. Fielded the ball out front with athletic movement laterally.
Arm: 75 mph infield velocity. Short arm action, high ¾ slot, consistent accuracy.
Speed: 7.87 (60-yard).
Pitching: Projectable. Slow-tempo delivery, easy effort. High ¾ arm angle, some arm speed, short arm action. Consistent balance point.
FB: T75. 73-75 mph. (Max spin 2158; Avg 2079). Very consistent accuracy, slight running action.
CB: 58-60 mph. Low in the zone control, swing and miss action, 11/5 shape. (Max spin 1758; Avg 1746).
CH: 61-63 mph. Arm side control, fading action.
5-foot-10, 130-pound. In the box, Hopkinson clocked an exit velocity of 68 mph. Sets up in a balanced stance and uses a leg kick. Short swing plane. Up the middle approach. In the infield, displayed a velocity of 61 mph. In the 60-yard dash, his time was 7.93. On the mound, threw his fastball 67-68 mph with a max of 69 mph; had consistent control. Shows control low in the zone on his 11/5 curveball (62-63). His changeup (60-61) had fading action and arm side command.
The youngest player at the event did a very nice job of holding his own vs. the older players. Showed an even stance at the plate with a solid, level plane with the bat path. Does a nice job of using his lower half and really showed some top hand strength through the hitting zone. At 3B, the glove played well out in front of him and he did a nice job of keeping his momentum moving with his throws across the IF. Played the backhand very well and showed the ability to get rid of the ball very quickly. Solid IF actions from the ‘26 grad. On the mound, he did a nice job of staying balanced and really used his core strength and lower half. Spotted the FB to both sides of the plate very well and showed feel for a true breaking ball with depth, burying it in the bottom half of the zone. Solid fundamentals and will continue to develop as the years progress
