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

5-foot-7 135-pounds, young body, immature physically, some quick twitch athleticism & projectability. Worked out as a two-way player. Hits from a squared stance, rocking into back leg with a gathered leg kick. Low rotational acceleration with handsy swing, finishing low. Worked the whole field with LD/GB contact at 82mph. Easy footwork in the OF, showing some quickness with 75mph arm arm strength. Also worked out on the mound, showing significant upside. Athletic delivery with back foot coming off the ground at heel plant. Pudenz has a fast arm with short arm action, throwing from a lower slot. FB worked 78-81mph with 2064 avg rpm. Also threw a SL with average spin rate of 2380rpm. Development should be followed as he physically matures.
