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

2022 RHP Jace Smith (Mountain Ridge)- 6-foot-2, 190-pounds, large frame, strong body, big lower half, has improved athleticism. Right-handed pitcher, athletic low effort delivery from first base side, good repeatability. Creates direction coming down the mound with long stride, late lead leg block. Short loose arm action from ¾ arm slot, ball comes out clean with extension. Threw strikes with some swing & miss capabilities with mostly two pitch mix. Saw 8 batters in live game action, striking out 6 of them. FB sat 84-88mph, topping out at 89.4mph with some arm side run, spun well at 2217rpm. Also, commanded the CV that showed some depth with tight spin & 11/5 shape at 73-75mph. Smith could be in for a breakout spring, his upside should be followed closely.
6-foot-2 185-pounds, broad shoulders, big strong legs, some strength & athleticism. Two-way player who has upside on the mound. Sets up in an upright base with feet shoulder width apart with slight knee bend. Uses a controlled knee turn leg kick before landing short strided. Showed some quick hands & potential with pull approach at 89mph exit velocity. Above average feet and glove at first base. Athleticism around the bag. Also worked out on the mound, throwing with long arm action from H3/4 arm slow. Some down hill movement to the FB with late life at 81-84mph at 1800 rpm. Mixed in a SL at 71-74mph at 2100rpm.
