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
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.
RSi
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.
Delivery: Advanced feel for his mechanics. Repeats well. Side steps into a chest high knee tuck. Decent driveleg engagement as he works down the mound. Glove arm works high creating more uphill shoulders and a pulldown effect with some added deception. More north/south plane of rotation. Larger stride that works in-line through home. Works fast/hard down the mound. Quality block at landing.
Arm Action: Hand lead path. Longer/full arm action. Gets into some decent scap-load as arm works up. Above avg. arm speed. Works to a H 3/4 slot. Maintains consistent slot/armspeed on all pitch types.
FB: 82-83. Carry FB shape due to high avg. VB (20.3 inches). Showed average control (40% in-zone). Showed effectiveness up in the zone (getting above barrels) while controlling in-zone mostly low during outing.
CB: 67-68. Shorter/slower CB. Lower spin. Averaged 3 inches of sweep/drop. Only threw a couple and both were low/in to RHHs.
CH: 71-73. More of a fading CH. Armside feel for it. Induced a lot of out-front swings in his outing. Smaller drop in VB off FB. If he can kill some more VB, has + pitch potential.
9/25/21
Body: 5-10, 150-pounds. Long and lanky, high waist, projectable pitchers build. Lower half showing some power and stamina for down-the-line starters projection. Hit: RHH. Wide stance with athletic bend, step and go load, two-hand finish. Some inside and out to the swing path, best swings were line drives to right-centerfield. Blast Motion scores of 41-46-57. Average across the board with no glaring weakness. Rotation scoring the highest is a good sign for next level power projection. Power: 80.00 max exit velocity Arm: LH. INF - 73.00 mph. Shorter arm action than seen on mound, accurate with throws 5/5, able to make throws from different angles. Defense: Limited feel around the bag, did a good job on the transfer, fielding developing.
Delivery: Fluid delivery, glove and arm stay close to body, high front side, square finish. Head and body stay level with balance and momentum moving towards home plate. Arm Action: LH. Consistent fastball, changeup, curveball tilt with TrackMan averages. Fingers on top key to fastball and change up command and control. FB: T81, 79-80 mph. Tilt and upright balance point create downhill action. Fastball works best armside, ability to control pitch to both sides of the plate will be key to next level success. CB: 63-64 mph. Curveball breaks with slurvey action, swing and miss potential versus RHH back foot, consistent tunnel release key to future success. CH: 72-73 mph. Changeup works well off fastball, ideal speed differential, garnered swings and misses.
