The reactive strength index measurement of an athlete's explosiveness by comparing their jump height to the ground contact time in between their jumps. On a scale of 0-5.
Vertical Jump
A measure of any athlete's body strength and reach calculated from the flight time divided by the contact time.
The maximum speed, in the direction of home plate, that the wrist is traveling. Measured in meters per second (m/s)
Arm Slot
Angle of the forearm relative to the ground between maximum external rotation (MER) and ball release (BR). Which can be a powerful player comparison metric, delivered in degrees.
Knee Extension Velo
The angular velocity of the front knee straightening after foot plant, which provides indicators of velocity potential. Measured in degrees per second.
Deception
The amount of time that the ball is visible to the hitter, after the instant of front foot strike. Measures in milliseconds.
Hip-Shoulder Separation
The difference in angle of between the hips and shoulders, occurring close to the foot plant. Measured in degrees.
Positional Profile: RHP/OF Body: 6-1, 200-pounds. Strong, muscle-bound frame, developed lower-half with round shoulders, evenly proportioned strength. Delivery: Controlled tempo, powerful drop/drive lower-half, stride works in-line with the plate, shoulders work level to the plate. Arm Action: RH. Long/loose arm swing into a high 3/4 slot. FB: T93, 92-93 mph. Life out of the hand with hard running action to the arm-side, plays with finish through the zone. Low release height (4.5 ft) gives "rising" effect. Average RPM of 2538 (T2631). Average IVB of 11.9 (T16.9) Average horizontal movement of 16.1 inches (T17.6). T2631, 2538 average rpm. CB: 77-79 mph. Tight 11/5 shape, sharp action. Average RPM of 2508 (T2639). T2640, 2508 average rpm. CH: 80-83 mph. Thrown with fastball intent, reached up to 20.9 inches of horizontal movement (17.4 avg.) T2102, 2003 average rpm.

Positional Profile: RHP Body: 6-1, 178-pounds. Delivery: Tall and fall delivery. Lands front toe open. Recoil at finish. Arm Action: RH. Long, loose arm action. Works from a 3/4 slot with some effort. FB: T91.5, 89.8-91.3 mph. Arm side run, firm fastball with finish. T2493, 2388 average rpm. CB: 74.9-75.8 mph. Decelerated arm action, slurve breaking ball with feel and spin. T2735, 2578 average rpm. CH: 81.7-82.8 mph. Fades with lateral action. T2055, 1978 average rpm.

RHP Dimitrios Bourmas (Harvard) was among the winners of the event, having recorded the top fastball velocity at Preseason All-State, reaching 91.5 mph. Its TrackMan characteristics are equally impressive, as the pitch features large induced vertical and horizontal movement, measured at 16.6 inches and 16.0, respectively. The fastball spins at 2,359 rpm on average from a lower release height (5.6 feet), which helps create his rise/run pitch profile.
