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
Curveball
Hammer+
A hammer breaking ball drops vertically with velocity through the zone, or 12-to-6 movement. Hammer+ of 100 is MLB average.
Curveball
Sweep+
A sweeping breaking ball moves horizontally with velocity through the zone. Sweep+ of 100 is MLB average.

Max Dist. 361. Loose and easy set up in the box. Hands held softly above shoulder. Sinks into back leg some as he gets going and creates proper amount of separation with hands. Stride can gain some length forward at times. Natural bat speed and feel for the barrel. Slight uphill bat path, but direction stays through center. Consistent hard contact to the middle of the field in BP rounds. Pull side pop, gap-to-gap XBH type bat. (Defense) (IF) RH. IF velo 80. Simple infield actions, no wasted movement. Showed easy lateral range. Has some give into the body with the glove while fielding. Actions with the glove are still slightly raw. Has some effort with the arm action, still some upside with the arm. Projects best at 2B/3B.
Game action: 0-2 2 HBP, BB
3/29/18 - 5-foot, 85-pound frame. Shows an advanced swing, with an easy rhythm, starting his gather early and drifting forward into contact. Path can get a bit steep at times; 63 mph exit velocity. Plays low on the infield, consistently working underneath the baseball. Stopped feet and fielded the ball on his heels at times. 56 mph infield velo with short, ¾ arm action. Posted 6.59 60-yard dash. Filled up zone with 59-61 mph fastball. Simple, compact delivery and ¾ arm slot. Developing two secondary pitches, 53-54 mph changeup and 52-53 mph curveball.
