Power / Speed Score
A simple calculation that divides the athlete’s Exit Velocity Max by the athlete’s 60 Yard Dash time for the given event year. For example, 98 MPH / 7.00s = 14.00.
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.
The highest Edge Score within the given year. Edge Score is a comprehensive score that takes the core-six visual skills into account, providing an assessment of an athlete’s overall visual ability.

The maximum speed, in the direction of home plate, that the wrist is traveling. Measured in meters per second (m/s)
Arm Slot
Angle of the forearm relative to the ground between maximum external rotation (MER) and ball release (BR). Which can be a powerful player comparison metric, delivered in degrees.
Knee Extension Velo
The angular velocity of the front knee straightening after foot plant, which provides indicators of velocity potential. Measured in degrees per second.
Deception
The amount of time that the ball is visible to the hitter, after the instant of front foot strike. Measures in milliseconds.
Hip-Shoulder Separation
The difference in angle of between the hips and shoulders, occurring close to the foot plant. Measured in degrees.
Matthew Gonzales, Gilbert (AZ), 2024 Positional Profile: 2B/OF Showed well, room for strength and size to be added. Will follow physical development. Body: 5-6, 115-pounds. Small build, room to add physical maturity. Hit: RHH. Base is at shoulder width, slightly open with a bend in the knees. Hands are held above the shoulder at the ear, with a flat barrel. Loads his weight onto his back side with a stride that is direct to the pitcher. Creates separation with hands during load, gains small amount of ground toward pitcher in stride. Bat path is slightly uphill, but is consistent with the barrel. Power: 74.3 max exit velocity, averaged 67.6 mph. 246’ max distance. Top 3 line drive % at event. As he gains strength and size we will see EV/distance numbers rise. Arm: RH. INF - 74 mph. Throws from a low 3/4 slot. Ball has some 2 seam carry, can play from the left side if needed. For now projects best as 2B. Defense: Moves his feet well and puts himself in a good position to field. Showed ability to field balls one handed up the middle. Throws from that lower slot, throws on the move well, works with his arm action. Glove work was clean. Run: 7.46 runner in the 60. Clean and consistent strides. Moves well for size and on slow track.

Matthew Gonzales, Gilbert (AZ), 2024 Positional Profile: 2B/OF Showed well, room for strength and size to be added. Will follow physical development. Body: 5-6, 115-pounds. Small build, room to add physical maturity. Delivery: Wider base out of the wind up. Uses a high leg kick with a smooth delivery. Arm Action: RH. High front side, throws from a high 3/4 slot. quick arm action. FB: T72.9, 71.7-72.8 mph. FB stays true with decent spin numbers, expect velo jump with maturity. Command was inconsistent on this day. T1968, 1918 average rpm. CB: 57.6-58.7 mph. Downward breaking CB, slower velo. Lacked consistency with release point, best breaking balls were when he delivered out front. T1812, 1682 average rpm. CH: 63.1-67.7 mph. T1409, 1316 average rpm.
