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.

LHP Zane Caves (Minooka) was far and away one of the event’s biggest winners. In his two innings of work, the southpaw only allowed one hit with no runs, one walk and five strikeouts. He attacked the zone with his fastball, playing in the low-mid 80s, topping out at 87 mph with heavy arm-side run. His curveball has wipeout potential, playing consistently over 2,700 rpm around 70 mph with sharp downward action. He also showed a changeup that played in the low-70’s, playing with heavy arm-side fade with a similar profile to his fastball. High-level uncommitted arm.
Positional Profile: LHP/1B
Body: 6-5, 190.3-pounds.
Delivery: Stretch only, closed setup, high leg-kick that works into a coil, rides pre-bend in the back knee down the mound.
Arm Action: LH. Longer arm action and reach out of the glove, 3/4 release.
FB: T87, 77-85 mph. Deceptive with late life, elevated in zone. T2275, 2049 average rpm.
CB: 62-70 mph. Sharp 1/7 shape with depth, potential out-pitch. T2797, 2593 average rpm.
CH: 65-71 mph. Showed some downward action through the zone. T1930, 1750 average rpm.
