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

Grip Strgth (LH)
Grip strength is a measure of a players bat control and ability to transfer power and speed during impact, measured in pounds of force generated; collected with elbow bent at 90 degrees.
Grip Strgth (RH)
Grip strength is a measure of a players bat control and ability to transfer power and speed during impact, measured in pounds of force generated; collected with elbow bent at 90 degrees.
Positional Profile: RHP/3B
Body: 6-0, 170-pounds. High-waisted, long-levered.
Delivery: Simple delivery, compact balance point and leg-lift, drop/drive lower-half that works in-line.
Arm Action: RH. Full arm swing, high 3/4 slot.
FB: T87, 86-87 mph. Carry traits with slight arm-side run. T2339, 2276 average rpm.
SL: 76-78 mph. Short bullet shape, able to land glove side. T2229, 2107 average rpm.
CH: 79-82 mph. Heavy running action to the arm-side, sells with arm-speed. T1745, 1674 average rpm.
RHP Kellen Forsythe (Coal City, 2027) was one of the event’s biggest winners. He stands at a high-waisted and loose-levered 6-foot, 158-pounds, with room to fill. He had a controlled and athletic delivery down the mound, paired with long, loose arm action. Forsythe's fastball was clean out of the hand with life through the zone at 84-86 mph. He landed the slider at 69-72 mph with 10/4 shape, while showing feel for a changeup at 77-78 mph with late fading action (avg. 17” HM). Forsythe will be a name to follow throughout the upcoming spring.
Positional Profile: RHP/3B Body: 6-0, 153-pounds. Lean, projectable build with much more room to add. Delivery: Simple, controlled delivery, athletic, medium leg kick into balance point, tall/fall lower-half. Arm Action: RH. Long, loose arm swing, 3/4 slot. FB: T86, 84-86 mph. Clean out of the hand with life through the zone, mostly straight actions, occasional run. T2245, 2180 average rpm. CB: 69-72 mph. Vertical action, plays at the bottom of the zone. Flashes.
