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.

Event: Fresno Preseason ID
Body: 6-1, 190-pounds. Lean strength throughout steam-lined build.
Delivery: Small turn at rubber, lift just above waist, smooth and controlled while staying over rubber, in-line stride, quick little kick out of stride foot on way to landing, lands with foot in-line to catcher, backside has quick finish toward 1st base side, can develop more front side leverage to allow for a more fluid and controlled finish.
Arm Action: Fairly compact on backside, quick circle with modest mid-thigh depth, high-3/4 release, loose quick arm, the arm speed is there to see significant velocity spike as the delivery evolves.
FB: T85.7 mph, 83.4-85.3 mph range, 1907 max spin; Sinker type FB, big armside run at times, the finish of backside at times takes the FB to the glove side while still creating some sink action.
SL: 74-78 mph, 1925 max spin; Firm slider, flashes potential for this pitch if can tighten it up a bit while getting fingers off side of ball more to the front, smooth break, does have feel for the bottom of the zone.
CHG: 79-81 mph, 1615 avg spin; Hard running action, potential power change with late hard downward life in the zone.
Event: California State Games
Body: 6-1, 190-pounds. Strong and physical, lean legs, proportioned throughout.
Delivery: Starts on 3B side, small quick rocker before foot turn then knee lift just above waist, kicks lead foot out as he works down slope, fairly short stride lands in-line, somewhat upright finish, little rotation toward 1B side through the release.
Arm Action: Quick on backside with fairly compact arm stroke, depth just to below the waist, high-3/4 slot, quick arm.
FB: T85, 81-84 mph velo range. 2129 max spin (1973 avg), 16.6 IVB avg, 15.5 HM avg, 55% zone %, 5.1 avg extension, 5.1 release height, has movement pattern that can be effective down in the zone given the quality HM and modest spin, slightly more extension with staying in-line a little longer could create more lift through the zone.
SL: 74-76 mph, 1945 max spin (1764 avg), 5.0 avg release height, 71% zone %, showed feel around the plate, smooth action, bat starter or chase getter vs a swing and miss caliber slider.
CH: 76-78 mph, 1942 avg spin, 6.2 HM avg, 5.3 avg extension, 4.9 release height, 100% zone %, straight change presents almost like a BP fastball, has enough feel for zone to consider this a pitch he can develop into an above avg CHG beyond high school.
