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

Creasbaum has enjoyed a really strong fall season, showing bat strength in front of multiple members of our staff at the Grand Park Fall Championships, and showed much of the same at the State Games. The toolset is littered with above average grades, with the hit tool being his best at the moment. The 6-foot, 200 pound frame holds present strength, evident in the way he is able to create bat speed with simple moves in the right-handed batters box, and in the upper-90s exit velocities that he produces. Creasbaum showed gap-to-gap strength during batting practice, with flashes of present pull-side power, and followed that with a pair of hits during gameplay, including a double that he hammered off the LCF wall. While the bat is the carrying tool at the moment, Creasbaum turned in a 6.89 60-yard dash and showed arm strength across the diamond to the tune of 88 mph.

Creasbaum is another sophomore that has shown the ability to consistently produce in a game setting. His best tool is his bat, and the compact, broad-shouldered, 5-foot-11, 205 pounder stays behind the baseball with an uphill path that is geared towards pull-side lift. Strength in the lower half allows for impact, reaching a peak exit velocity of 98.6 mph. Creasbaum is running better than he has previously, turning in a respectable 60 time of 7.05, and his arm strength is a solid tool (88 INF Velo), as well.

'26 3B Aidan Creasbaum (Hanover Central) was recently highlighted within our Top Uncommitted '26 Tools article for his strong hit tool, and he showed off that tool again at the Hoosier Holiday. Creasbaum appears to have made noticeable improvements within his body composition, leaning out to a more athletic look at 5-foot-11, 205 pounds. Creasbaum delivered one pull-side barrel after another throughout his batting practice round, showing an innate feel to lift the baseball while producing a max exit velocity of 97.6 mph.
