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

‘25 LHP Alex Barr (Canes Midwest National) - Indiana recruit. Sturdy, 6-foot-2, 215 pound southpaw. Tall inward turn at the top of the lift, swings to square. Mobile hips allow for a well-sequenced delivery. Ball jumps out of the hand - fastball worked 85-87 T 88 mph with carry to get above barrels. Big, 1/7 shape on the breaking ball, shows sharp bite, future out-pitch.
Position Profile: LHP
Body: 6-0, 185-pounds. Sturdy build
Hit: LHH. Slow-tempo, toe tap to gather - from there uses a small leg kick combined with a lower hand load. Long, uphill swing. Looks to leverage the ball out front - pullside approach.
Power: 95 max exit velocity, averaged 92.1 mph. 345' max distance.
Arm: LH.
Defense:
Run: 8.30 runner in the 60.
Position Profile: LHP
Body: 6-0, 185-pounds. Sturdy build
Delivery: Back foot preset to lift - tall, inward turn at the top of the balance point, holds back hip well as he moves down the mound. Aggressive intent. Upright landing
Arm Action: LH. Moderate arm action from a H 3/4 / OTT slot. More arm strength than arm speed
FB: T89, 88-89 mph. Mostly in the zone - has life T2123, 2026 average rpm.
CB: 67-68 mph. Feel for CB - shows 1/7 action w/ outstandind depth T2274, 2228 average rpm.
CH: 75-76 mph. T1421, 1394 average rpm.
