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.

Arkansas State signee, ranked No. 50 overall in the state’s senior class. Lanky, long-limbed 6-foot-4, 175-pound frame with plenty of room for added physical development. Worked in relief for the Panthers in this look. Long and loose arm action, ¾ slot. Fastball touched 91 mph, played in the mid-to-upper-80s with hard sink. Tight spin with late break off fastball’s plane on slider, 72-74 mph, developing feel. Unique look on the mound, highly intriguing profile that didn’t have his best stuff in this look.

Verbally committed to Arkansas State.
6-foot-3, 170-pound long, lanky, highly projectable athlete with whippy levers. Entered the high school season with plenty of momentum after a stellar winter circuit. Toed the rubber for O’Fallon, hurling four scoreless frames in a start. Simple side-step starts delivery, front hip coils inward and starts working down the slope from balance point, drop/drive pattern that stays closed to footstrike. Finishes onto a firm lead leg, maintains direction to target. Fluid mover downhill, repeated consistently through cold and rainy conditions. Short arm draw from the glove, loose and clean ¾ slot. Held 85-87 mph with his fastball, worked east-to-west with consistent strikes to the glove side. Flashed tight spin on a 72-74 mph slider, late horizontal action on occasion, used sparingly. An upside uncommitted junior arm that’s primed for a big spring as the ace of this O’Fallon staff.
Positional Profile: RHP/RHP
Body: 6-3, 164-pounds.
Delivery: Athletic, fluid delivery, works on-line, repeatable.
Arm Action: RH. Long, loose, easy arm action, 3/4 slot.
FB: T85.6, 83-85 mph. Easy out of the hand, late finish and arm-side-run. T2192, 2088 average rpm.
SL: 63-67 mph. Slurvy action, 11/5 shape, depth and showed feel. T2183, 2067 average rpm.
CH: 77-77 mph. T1589, 1589 average rpm.
David struck out five in his two innings of work; he works fluidly down the mound with a long, loose, upside arm action and gets all kinds of late arm-side-life and run on his fastball that plays from a ¾ slot. He complemented his fastball with a slurvy breaking ball that played off an 11/5 plane with feel for the zone.
