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

(23.8 mph hand speed average). Starts in an athletic balanced stance with a smooth rhythmic load, then uses a controlled toe tap stride. Bat speed was explosive, used a simple loose swing plane and high finish. He created tons of loud contact and found multiple barrels. Gap to gap aggressive approach. Above average in the infield, his position velocity was registered at 73 mph; showed soft hands, a twitchy clean exchange, and athletic smooth feet. Laterally, movements were athletic and fielded the ball out front. Using a loose arm action, showed consistent accuracy to the bag from a ¾ slot. Recorded a 60 time of 8.01 at the event.
