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

Jacob Blickenderfer, Casteel (AZ), 2024
Positional Profile: OF/LHP
Body: 6-0, 165-pounds. Present strength and room to add size and strength for a young player. Long arms.
Hit: LHH. Open stance, strides neutral, hands held at the shoulder, small load with the hands. Direct to contact, bat gets on plane quick. Middle of the field with some backspin flight.
Power: 89.7 max exit velocity, averaged 81.6 mph. 318’ max distance.
Arm: OF - 78 mph. Throws from a high 3/4 slot, throws were low and on target with slight arm side action. Good arm strength with upside.
Defense:Attacks the ball well and is consistent with the glove, fields the ball one handed outside the body. Slightly loopy with the transfer, takes some time with crow hop.
Run: 7.22 runner in the 60. Powerful strides, good knee drive.
5’5 110-pound Frame. Blickenderfer uses a square stance and good rhythm throughout his swing. Loads into back side by hovering lead foot, occasionally toe tapping to adjust his timing. The middle approach is helped by making square contact deep in the zone and a solid bat path. Exit velo was 60 MPH. From the outfield uses shuffle to get rid opf the ball and make throws at 62 MPH accurately to his target.
Worked 60-63 on the mound, as front side gets better and he continues to grow, his already clean arm action will be backed by velocity. His curveball registered at 54-56 MPH and throws it with intent, something that will lead him to success off the bump. Changeup was throws at 55-58 wth good arm speed.
