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.
Slider
Sweep+
A sweeping breaking ball moves horizontally with velocity through the zone. Sweep+ of 100 is MLB average.

Arm Speed
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.

Positional Profile: RHP/OF
Body: 6-3, 185-pounds. Lean, athletic and projectable frame. High waist with room for added strength.
Delivery: Basic side step wind up with some tempo. Moves quickly down the mound using the large frame to gain extension. Sits into back hip well for size, and has a high handbreak that leads into the throw.
Arm Action: Loose, short arm swing that gets up and on time consistently. Higher slot, that’s combined with the extension numbers create a large amount of deception to opposing hitters.
FB: T86, 84-86 mph. Showed the ability for plus ride (19.3" max Induced Vertical Break) while averaging 16.9". Lower total spin; movement numbers do not indicate this to be an issue, though it could be an avenue for improvement. Average 6'5" extension creates higher perceived velocity due to the ball being released closer to the hitter.
SL: 72-74 mph. Tighter slider that stays on plane with the fastball very well. Spin (1748rpm) and movement (2" sweep) are average, Pitch is valuable due to the closer velocity split and tunneling compared to the fastball. Showed the ability to land for strikes consistently.
CH: 74-76 mph. Quality velocity separation (9mph) with more horizontal movement when compared to the FB. Similar induced vertical break on these pitches suggests the changeup is relying almost solely on velocity difference to miss bats and/or barrels.
Body: 6-3, 185-pounds. Long and lanky, quality pitchers build, twitch and feel.
Delivery: Arms and legs coming at you, when in sync shows good command, head stays balanced, leg follows through with strength.
Arm Action: Ball jumps out of the hand, plus extension, same release point on all three pitches.
FB: T86, 84-85 mph. Fastball plays up with extension, significant velocity gain expected, shows some jump out of the hands.
SL: 68-69 mph. Plays off curveball well, developing pitch, tunnels well off fastball, swing and miss.
CH: 78-79 mph. Show me change, kept low in the zone, overall feel needs improvement.
