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

Grip Strgth (LH)
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.
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.
RHP Andrew Dawson (Oak Forest) showed some intrigue over his two innings of work. Listed at 6-foot-1, 174-pounds, the right-hander consistently was able to land his slider for strikes at the bottom of the zone, getting some ugly swings from opposing hitters while playing in the low-70s. His fastball helped set up his slider, playing with life out of a similar release window in the 81-85 mph range, topping out at 86 mph.
Positional Profile: RHP/SS
Body: 6-2, 174-pounds.
Delivery: Explosive down the mound, intentful, medium leg kick into balance point, drop/drive lower-half.
Arm Action: RH. Loose, quick, 3/4 slot.
FB: T87, 82-86 mph. Explosive out of the hand, plays with arm-side run. T2155, 2003 average rpm.
SL: 71-73 mph. Diving action at the bottom of the zone; confident in offering. T2307, 2183 average rpm.
CH: 74-74 mph. Arm-side fade, developing. T1496, 1496 average rpm.
RHP/SS Andrew Dawson (Oak Forest, 2026) is a 5-foot-11, 153-pound right-handed pitcher who had one of the better days on the mound. He works with a segmented drop/drive delivery paired with a quick and clean arm working out of a high ¾ slot. Dawson navigated a three-pitch mix with the fastball sitting 82-85 mph, topping out at 86.5 mph (an event high) with arm-side run that worked better to the glove side. The off-speed consisted of a curveball that had 12/6 shape with sharp downer action, and then a changeup that had sinking action playing well off of the fastball. Dawson also flashed one of the stronger arms among the infield group at the event with an 82 mph max velocity from across the diamond.
