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
Curveball
Hammer+
A hammer breaking ball drops vertically with velocity through the zone, or 12-to-6 movement. Hammer+ of 100 is MLB average.
Curveball
Sweep+
A sweeping breaking ball moves horizontally with velocity through the zone. Sweep+ of 100 is MLB average.

Uncommitted. 5-10 165 lb. Fussell came to swing it this weekend. A very tough in the box! Came up clutch in multiple situations. Very mechanically sound and knows the game of baseball. Also came into pitch and just threw strikes. Came into a very tough situation with the bases loaded and 1 out and got his team out of a jam in 4 pitches. Aggressive in the box on the basepaths. Swiped multiple bags this weekend and contributed to the team's success. Athletic build with more to come. Great one to follow through the summer.
Uncommitted. 5-foot-9 160-pounds. Fussell is much stronger from this time last summer. He had a full year of varsity experience, starting at shortstop. He now has the power to drive balls in the gap. The approach at the plate has always been really good, but now we can hunt his pitch and look to do damage. In the field he makes all the routine plays. He ranges well up the middle, and has the ability to throw the ball on the run. He had a couple nice doubles plays that he took himself, and worked through the bag with the runner sliding into second. At the plate he stays in his legs much more, and has cleaned up the load to keep him on time consistently, especially against good pitching. Fussell will be a fun one to watch this summer and into next spring with an experienced lineup from Coffee County returning.
Body: 5-8, 160-pounds. Large, stocky frame.
Hits: RHH. Athletic base with optimal balance and weight distribution. Very quiet, simple actions with perfect separation timing creating torque into landing. Short, direct path, top hand palm up thru contact.
Power: 89 max exit velocity, averaged 81.3 MPH. 316' max distance. Backspin to both gaps.
Arm: RH. INF-77 mph.Short, sidearm slot.
Defense: Solid footwork, solid hands.
Run: 7.32 runner in the 60.
