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

A committed standout from the event is INF Dominic Jacoby (Taft, 2023; Spoon River commit). Currently ranked No. 243 in the state, the right-handed hitter stays short to the ball with bat-speed and extension through contact, staying flat through the zone and using a middle/pull approach throughout his round. His BLAST numbers were above-average; boasting an average hand-speed of 23 mph (T25.9 mph), average bat-speed of 69.1 mph (T77 mph) and average rotational acceleration of 17.7 (T23.6). Defensively, Jacoby has active/fluid footwork up to and through the ball, ranging easily to both sides of his glove. He secures the ball into his body with soft hands before moving into a quick/clean transfer, reaching up to 84 mph across the diamond.
Positional Profile: SS/RHP
Body: 6-0, 165-pounds. Athletic lean frame with room for growth.
Hit: RHH. Athletic, wide setup, hangs foot, fluid load. Short to the ball, bat-speed with extension through the zone, stays in the hitting zone, middle/pullside approach.
Power: 89 max exit velocity, averaged 80.9 mph. 284’ max distance.
Arm: RH. INF - 84 mph. Loose and whippy arm action out of a 3/4 slot that plays from multiple angles.
Defense: Active feet, soft hands, secures the ball into his body, quick/clean transfer, range laterally.
Run: 7.16 runner in the 60.
INF Dominic Jacoby (Taft, 2023) was another all-around winner from Sunday’s event. A wiry 5-foot-11, 140-pound athlete, Jacoby kicked his day off by running a 6.96 in the 60-yard dash, which ended up being one of the event’s top times. Offensively, Jacoby worked in a fluid rhythm with a consistent gap-to-gap approach, showing athletic hands and an upside offensive game. Perhaps Jacoby’s biggest win from the day was his defensive workout, however. He moved with high energy throughout, showing athletic movements with quick feet and soft hands to pair, reaching an 84 mph high across the diamond. After all that, Jacoby pumped his fastball up to 83 mph in his ‘pen.
