The reactive strength index measurement of an athlete's explosiveness by comparing their jump height to the ground contact time in between their jumps. On a scale of 0-5.
Vertical Jump
A measure of any athlete's body strength and reach calculated from the flight time divided by the contact time.
One of the more dominant pitching performances at the Best of the West came from uncommitted 2024 Reid Clague. At 6-foot-5, 185-pounds his long levers create deception and a steep vertical approach angle. His fastball sat 87-89 mph and he struck out 9 over 4.1 hitless innings. Although he struggled a bit in his 2nd outing on short rest, the Canadian Junior National Team member is one of the most sought after arms in the country and will be a heavy follow as he enters his senior season.

Clague was an intriguing arm on the PBR Canada Selects that showed well in both of his relief appearances over the past two days. Projection on the mound from the left-side at 6-foot-3, 175-pounds, Clague gets downhill and lives at the bottom of the zone with his 84-86 mph FB with an over the top arm action with ability to spin the CB with downward action. There looks to be plenty more in the tank from Clague as he continues to get stronger. Good looking West Coast arm to keep tabs on.
