Pitch Scores
2023
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

The 6-foot-4, 195-pound Backes pitched in the low-80s, touching 85 mph with his fastball, and showed a 75-78 mph cutter too, to go along with a CB/SL/CH mix.
Positional Profile: RHP/3B
Body: 6-4, 195-pounds.
Delivery: Tall/fall delivery, tight leg lift tuck, open stride with an in-line front foot at landing.
Arm Action: RH. Short arm path, 3/4 slot.
FB: T85, 80-83 mph. Low spin, plays straight. T1883, 1642 average rpm.
CB: 68-69 mph. 11/5 shape, gradual action. T2203, 2108 average rpm.
SL: 72-72 mph. Similar shape to cutter at a lesser velocity band. T2282, 2282 average rpm.
CH: 76-76 mph. Used sparingly. T1754, 1754 average rpm.
CUT: 74-78 mph. Tight spin.
RHP Brady Backes (LaSalle-Peru, 2025) is a 6-foot-1, 183-pounds incoming junior that works with a hybrid, side-step delivery but showed more comfort working from the stretch. The arm works short, with acceleration out front from a high ¾ slot. Backes currently works with a five-pitch mix consisting of a fastball, curveball, slider, changeup, and cutter. The fastball sat 84-85 mph, topping at 85.6 mph with ride while the changeup was the best of the off-speed offering playing with some feel at the bottom of the zone. The curveball was the better of the breaking balls, displaying sharp 12/6 action.
