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.

Positional Profile: 2B/RHP
Body: 6-1, 160-pounds.
Hit: RHH. Crouched stance, small leg-kick. Line-drive approach/solid contact through the zone. Good intent on the swing. 65.8 mph bat speed with 16 G’s of rotational acceleration.
Power: 91 max exit velocity, averaged 83.1 mph. 303' max distance.
Arm: RH. INF-84 mph. Powerful, strong arm, 3/4 arm action.
Defense: Quick release, good transfer, good footwork.
ATH: 7.49 runner in the 60. 1.82 in the 10 yard split.
Vizual Edge: 51.71 Edge Score
Body: 6-1, 160-pounds. Broad shoulders, long levers, tons of room to fill out.
Hits: RHH. He has good hip pace, rides the backside in stride creating some of the best linear connection in the class as the hands are thrown. His weight distribution at landing is perfect, and he routinely catches the ball just outside his front foot for big exit velocity barrels innate ability to match pitch plane with his short, direct path that gets optimal extension.
Power: 90 max exit velocity, averaged 77.7 MPH. 305' max distance. Repeats swing better than most his age, gap to gap juice.
Arm: RH. INF-79 mph.Needs work on shortening arm action to fit in IF, as well as changing arm angles on certain plays. Big arm swing L3/4 slot.
Defense: Solid balance, moves to ball with aggressiveness. Stays down through ball well.
Run: 7.56 runner in the 60.
