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.

LHP Jacob Janisko (Harvest Christian, 2023; Indianapolis commit) dominated during his three innings of work, punching out four and generating plenty of whiffs to pair. The strong, sturdy southpaw produced upper-80s velocities with his fastball, touching 90 mph a few times, while averaging 18 inches of horizontal movement. Janisko’s primary offering was an upper-70s slider with true swing-and-miss action, spotting it below the zone for whiffs while also landing it for strikes.
Body: 5-10, 220-pounds. Broad-shouldered, thick build.

Positional Profile: LHP
Body: 5-foot-10, 200-pounds.
Delivery: Smooth tall-and-fall delivery with some effort, works in line with home, lands square with an athletic finish.
Arm Action: LH. Short, quick arm action, 3/4 slot.
FB: T86, 84-86 mph. Two-seam type, around the zone command. T2122, 2019 average rpm.
CB: 69-73 mph. Gradual 1/7 movement. T2139, 1979 average rpm.
SL: 74-75 mph. Sharp break, 2/8 movement. T2218, 2101 average rpm.
Hit: LHH. Open, wide setup, hands preloaded, short stride to even. Strong hands with bat speed, short, uphill swing plane, line drive type hitter.
Power: 94.18 max exit velocity, averaged 83.1 mph. 312’ max distance.
Arm: LH. INF - 81 mph. Short arm action, high 3/4 slot.
Defense: Athletic movements to the baseball, footwork plays around the bag, clean transfer.
Run: 7.68 runner in the 60.
