5-foot-9, 160-pounds. Started on the mound for Father McGivney in this 1A Super-Sectional. Allowed one run on two hits over five innings of work. Simple and controlled operation, stays in line and repeats. Tight hip turn into a closed position at balance point, hides the ball well with a short, tight arm that comes out of a ¾ window. Relied heavily on a sweeping breaking ball at 68-71 mph that he pitched off of his entire outing. Advanced feel for it, consistently threw it for strikes and front doored it to left-handed hitters. Fastball played in the low-80s, staying at hip level and working on the corners
5-foot-10, 160-pound frame with long levers. Simple and controlled delivery, pairing it with a quick arm that releases the ball from a lower ¾ slot. In his out on Saturday Sink dominated utilizing a fastball in the 77-80 mph range. As for his offspeeds, he was confident in tight, low-70s breaking ball with 1/7 action and he also flashed a changeup to right-handed hitters, too.
Sink showed control of the zone throughout his outing Friday against the Oak Lawn Lightning, tossing five innings and allowing one run on three hits, walking two and striking out 10. The lefty sat 76-80 mph on his fastball, consistently throwing 80 mph his first two frames. Fastball featured sinking action and some arm-side run. Sink also showcased his ability at the plate on Saturday, going 2-for-3 including a three-run homer to right field in the first inning.
