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. Gainous made a big impact in the first round of the state playoffs for Thomas County Central. He started the game off with a solid back side line drive off of a quality arm. The swing is simple with easy rhythem that translates through contact. He has a strong lower half that drives the power at the plate and on the mound. He came up again later the game and had a 2 out SAC fly that would plate a key insurance run. St. Pius X managed to get 2 runners on to start the 7th, and Gainous was called on to close things out. He came in straight from 3B, and was pumping fastball 86-88 with easy life. He flashed the curveball in the low 70's for swing and miss. He forced a ground ball with the bases loaded for a double play to end the game. Gainous is going to be a big name that will be a riser in the 2026 class.
