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

(21.4 mph hand speed average). Begins in an athletic open stance with a rhythmic load, then uses a small leg kick. Had a loose upward swing plane, electric bat speed and good extension on his high finish. He found multiple barrels with tons of loud contact. Gap to gap approach. Above average in the outfield, his best throw of the day was clocked at 74 mph; has a clean exchange, next level hands, and athletic smooth feet. Laterally, movements were athletic and fielded the ball out front. Had a high ¾ slot with a long loose arm action. During the event, clocked a 60 time of 7.72. Projectable on the mound, showed lightning arm speed with a high ¾ arm angle and a long loose arm action. Tall-and-fall up-tempo type pitcher who uses easy effort. Showed strong balance point and in line shoulders. Lands square with an athletic finish. Threw his fastball 76-79 mph; shows sinking action and arm side command with heavy movement. (Max spin 2014; Avg 1920). His 1/7 curveball (64-68) has glove side command and slurvey late action. (Max spin 2284; Avg 2022).
