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.

Clayton Taylor, RHP, Columbus East (IN), 2021
True sophomore. Lean and projectable 6-foot-1, 185-pound frame. Taylor returns just over 37 innings to the staff from last season and he will look to be an important piece for Kaskaskia this coming spring. The right-hander worked his fastball in the 88-89 mph range, topping out at 90 mph with some carry through the zone. His curveball shows out-pitch potential, playing between 76-78 mph with sharp 11/5 action (2500-2700 RPM). His slider shows similar traits except off more of a 10/4 plane, playing between 79-81 mph (2100-2500 RPM). His final offering was a heavy fading changeup at 80-82 mph, playing with over 13” of horizontal movement.
Sophomore. 6-foot-1, 175-pounds with a projectable build. The right-hander displayed a lively fastball that sat 86-89 mph with finish through the zone and a max IVB of 22.1. His curveball plays with tight 11/5 shape at 78-80 mph (T2381 RPM). His final offering was a changeup at 80-83 mph, fading up to 16” at times.
