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.

Grip Strgth (RH)
Grip strength is a measure of a players bat control and ability to transfer power and speed during impact, measured in pounds of force generated; collected with elbow bent at 90 degrees.
The top two-way player in the 2026 class continues to look polished beyond his years with a sky-high ceiling to match. It starts with the operation on the mound where Sharman shows advanced body control while getting downhill with plus extension. Fastball up to 92 in this outing, living 88-91 over a strong 6.0 IP. Shows command to land to both sides of the plate paired with sharp arm-side run for in-zone misses. Mixed in a pair of breaking balls in this outing with a curveball at 75-77 with depth that worked well on the inner half to right-handed hitters and high-70s sweeper that created swing and miss to both sides. Changeup is a budding above-average pitch out of the same fastball tunnel at 79-81 with arm-side fade and depth. The sophomore picked up more barrels at the plate as well coming through with multiple big hits for the Eagles over the week. Present bat speed and feel for the barrel in an advanced approach allows the Georgia commit to find loud contact in the zone regularly. Sharman will be a nation-wide name as he develops into one of the most well-rounded players in the class.
In one of the better two-way showings of the weekend, Sharman was electric for Etowah in the midst of their 3-0 showing. Batting cleanup throughout, the Georgia commit was all over the barrel consistently in an all-fields approach. Sharman does an excellent job staying balanced and matching plane with a compact right-handed stroke that boasts present above-average bat speed and barrel feel. The sophomore came through with RBI knocks to both the pull-side and backside on the weekend. On the other side, Sharman came in relief on the mound in a big matchup against Walton, and may have been even more impressive. With an attacking demeanor, the 6-foot-3, 205-pound right-hander filled up the zone with both strikes and in-zone misses from a three-pitch mix. Fastball lived 88-91 while grabbing 92 twice with excellent carry through the zone. Mid-to-high 70s slider creates good tilt and horizontal movement for whiffs. Changeup flashed as an above-average pitch with great arm-side fade that was devastating to left-handed hitters at 78-80. It was a standout performance for Sharman overall.
