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

Illinois-Springfield commit, ranked No. 39 in the Illinois 2022 class. Athletic build, standing 6-foot, 180-pounds, broad shoulders. The right-hander’s arm plays with a long sweeping move out of the glove into a ¾ slot, playing with arm-speed. Moves with some pace throughout his delivery, moving quickly into balance point before moving into a drop/drive lower-half, striding slightly open with impressive force down the mound. His fastball played with some life to the arm-side and finish through the zone, sitting mostly 86-89 mph and reaching back for 91 mph at one point. He went to a diving changeup to pair off his fastball, playing from a similar release at 74-77 mph. His final offering was a slider at 75-77 mph, thrown with intent and playing off a 10/4 plane, tight spin at times.
Positional Profile: RHP/OF
Body: 6-0, 180-pounds. Athletic build.
Delivery: Slight jump towards the plate as the ball is thrown, strides in-line with the plate,
Arm Action: RH. Long, quick high 3/4 arm action.
FB: T88, 87-88 mph. Created a tough angle on hitters, feel for the zone. T2285, 2214 average rpm.
SL: 76-78 mph. T2228, 2160 average rpm.
CH: 76-78 mph. Showed sink/arm-side run, feel for the zone, maintains fastball arm-speed. T2014, 1982 average rpm.
