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

LHP Nathan Anderson (Lyons Township, 2024) started the nightcap on Friday evening and shut down a quality lineup. Pitches with a high level of confidence and polish. Worked the fastball to both sides of the plate, consistently commanded to the glove side, confident attacking inside with it against right-handed hitters. Change up was an advanced offering that he was attacking hitters with in any count, well above-average feel. Also mixed in a mid-70s breaking ball as a quality third offering.
Uncommitted. Currently ranked No. 115 in the state. 5-foot-10, 190-pounds with evenly proportioned strength. Arm plays from a high ¾ slot from an up-tempo delivery, high leg-kick works into balance point, drop/drive lower-half works in-line down the mound. Heavy fastball usage on the day, working up to 88 mph and sitting mostly 84-86 mph with sink and some tilt through the zone. Went to a fading changeup at 77-78 mph, sells the pitch with arm-speed. Flashed a 1/7 breaking ball at 70-74 mph. High-follow 2024 with a dynamic arsenal.
Positional Profile: LHP/1B
Body: 5-10, 190-pounds. Sturdy build, well proportioned.
Delivery: Fluid, controlled, tempo'd delivery, works on-line and lands balanced and in control.
Arm Action: LH. Short, compact, clean, arm action, high 3/4 slot.
FB: T85, 82-85 mph. Controlled the zone, works straight and down in the zone. T2183, 2105 average rpm.
CB: 70-73 mph. Maintains arm speed, short wrinkle. T1749, 1707 average rpm.
CH: 74-78 mph. Fastball arm speed, plays to the arm side, flashed fade. T1499, 1396 average rpm.
LHP Nathan Anderson (Lyons Township) was one of the more polished 2024 arms in attendance. Anderson pounded the zone with his fastball, working both sides of the plate with late arm-side-life while running his fastball up to 85.6 mph. He also commanded his curveball at 70-72 mph and hitters did not look comfortable throughout his stint.
Positional Profile: LHP
Body: 5-10, 190-pounds.
Delivery: Slightly up-tempo delivery, high/athletic leg-lift that works into a drop/drive lower-half, stride works in-line with the plate.
Arm Action: LH. Slight reach out of the glove, plays out of a high 3/4 slot.
FB: T85.6, 82-84 mph. Plays with finish through the zone and slight running action. T2354, 2162 average rpm.
CB: 70-73 mph. Feel for the zone, gradual 1/7 shape. T1956, 1899 average rpm.
CH: 70-73 mph. Plays with fading action to the arm-side. T1877, 1806 average rpm.
Positional Profile: LHP/1B
Body: 5-foot-9, 175-pounds. Thick lower half.
Delivery: Stretch only, drop/drive type delivery, closed front shoulder and lands closed off from target. Deceptive some.
Arm Action: L. Arm draws straight down, high 3/4 release.
FB: T78.7, 75.3-77.5 mph. Present arm-side run, averaged 14 inches of horizontal movement. T2025, 1948 average rpm.
CB: 62.6-66.7 mph. Lateral action off a 2/8 plane, spots arm-side. T1648, 1586 average rpm.
CH: 67.3-68.9 mph. Lowers arm slot on average to fastball, spotted down in the zone. T1497, 1406 average rpm.
Hit: L. Balanced setup, smooth load, short stride. Short and level path, simple swing and repeats. Some pull-side leverage.
Power: 90.5 max exit velocity, averaged 85.8 mph. 316’ max distance.
Arm: L. OF - 80 mph. Longer arm swing on the backside, high 3/4 slot.
Defense: Active to the baseball, feet work around and in rhythm, steady hands, clean to release.
Run: 8.37 runner in the 60.
