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
Curveball
Hammer+
A hammer breaking ball drops vertically with velocity through the zone, or 12-to-6 movement. Hammer+ of 100 is MLB average.
Curveball
Sweep+
A sweeping breaking ball moves horizontally with velocity through the zone. Sweep+ of 100 is MLB average.

INF Gavin Jones (Bishop McNamara, 2028) looks the part of a left-handed hitting infield prospect to follow throughout his prep career. He has an athletic and projectable frame at 5-foot-10, 160-pounds, and we can expect him to fill out throughout the coming years. At the plate, the left-handed hitter has an upside swing with loose hands and a flat path that gets extension through the zone, working up to 86.5 mph for his max EV. He’s a natural defender on the infield with comfortable and fluid actions, and his arm is plenty strong for his age with a 77 mph top across the infield. His arm-strength showed on the mound as well, where he topped his fastball out at 79 mph, and both his curveball and slider played with over 2,400 rpm.
Positional Profile: SS
Body: 5-10, 160-pounds. Trim, athletic build.
Hit: LHH. Wide with a simple toe-tap stride. Loose hands, flat through the zone with extension through the ball.
Power: 86 max exit velocity, averaged 77.5 mph. 296’ max distance.
Arm: RH. INF - 77 mph. Medium arm circle, quick, clean, low 3/4 slot with armspeed out front.
Defense: Soft hands, fluid actions, plays with rhythm and timing, feel for the position.
Run: 7.42 runner in the 60.
Positional Profile: RHP
Delivery: Simple rocker step, athletic mover, repeats. Drop/drive delivery, lands in-line towards home.
Arm Action: RH. Short, loose, clean arm path, 3/4 arm slot.
FB: T79, 78-79 mph. Has some feel to spin, plays with 2-seam action. T2207, 2148 average rpm.
CB: 64-66 mph. Above-average spin for age, 11/5 shape, short. T2482, 2465 average rpm.
SL: 67-69 mph. High spin, moves 9/3 laterally with some late life. T2558, 2490 average rpm.
Jones impressed with a simple and repeatable delivery. Quick, loose arm with whip out front. Fastball worked 71-73 mph topping out at 74 mph. Curveball worked in the low 60s with tight 10/4 shape. Also finished 2-for-3 at the plate with a run scored.
Jay Baird (N/A), Quincy Fulton (Newton), Kameron Cox (Lyons Township) and Gavin Jones (Bishop McNamara) are a few 2028s that showed well and should be names to watch in the coming years.
Positional Profile: SS
Body: 5-8, 120-pounds. High-waisted build with room to fill out.
Hit: SH. Stock setup, wide base, front-foot twist, hands separate. Minimal hand load into a flat path, uses the middle of the field, stays on the barrel.
Power: 78 max exit velocity, averaged 69.7 mph. 230’ max distance.
Arm: LH. INF - 68 mph. Loose 3/4 slot, plays on the move.
Defense: Active footwork, soft hands with fluid actions, plays around and through the ball with timing and rhythm .
Run: 8.05 runner in the 60.
Positional Profile: RHP
Delivery: Methodical, high leg kick into a drop and drive delivery, athletic mover down the mound.
Arm Action: LH. Quick, fluid arm action into a 3/4 slot.
FB: T73, 70-73 mph. Plays with some carry through the zone with some feel for the zone. T2168, 2080 average rpm.
SL: 60-62 mph. Drops arm slot, plays with sweep, feel for the zone. T2441, 2340 average rpm.
CH: 63-65 mph. Thrown with intent, similar profile to the fastball. T1469, 1374 average rpm.
