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.
Curveball
Sweep+

Grip strength is a measure of a players bat control and ability to transfer power and speed during impact, measured in pounds of force generated; collected with elbow bent at 90 degrees.
Frame: Lean, twitchy, 6-foot, 155 pounds. Thin-hipped and wiry. Has plenty of room to hold strength. Toolset/Profile: 6.82 60-yard dash, 1.60 10-yard was third-best of the day. The bat-to-ball and overall hit tool are both some of the classes' best. The swing is on-plane forever and he had the third-best bat speed average of the day. His exit peaked at 90.8 mph. There is enough bat speed and present twitch to project average to better power down the road. He was 82 from the outfield, just a tick above average for the class. He profiles as a top of the lineup, high-contact hitting CF with a potential plus run tool. Actions: Offensive - Starts tall & slightly open in relaxed stance. Loads into backside as back elbow climbs and barrel lifts, counterbalances with a short, controlled stride. Lands with control and feel to adjust. Solid launch quickness with a barrel that works on-plane for a long time. Defense - Athletic, natural mover with choppy footwork at times. Arm has improved. Summation: Zellers was one of the best looking prospects at the event. The run tool will likely be a plus and that jumps out at you when you combine his silky left-handed stroke. People will pay for L/L hitters that can really run and hit and Zellers fits that mold. He is a 2x Junior Future Gamer that I've seen take 30-plus at-bats so far, and the bat-to-ball has a chance to be real. The bat speed and barrel strength ticking up is huge for me to see and if it does further he may exceed average power projections.
Zellers is another exciting '28 prospect that was in attendance this weekend. The wiry framed, 6-foot centerfielder is an advanced runner for a freshman (6.84) with a sweet left-handed stroke that already produces upper-80s exit velocities. I love the pace of the swing and the bat path is elite for the age, evident in the backspun liners he produced from gap-to-gap during batting practice. Zellers holds a CF profile and is one of the more advanced hitters we have identified in this young class.
