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

Hotovec was a pop-up prospect at this event that walked away as one of the more intriguing uncommitted lefties left in the class. His physical, 6-foot-3, 200 pound frame jumped out during check-in and he showed some athleticism by turning in a 6.90 60-time. Hotovec made his biggest impression in his two innings on the bump, showing off a mid-80s fastball (T 87) that played with significant arm-side run. There is some deception in the way the arm works, a compact arm action that hides behind the body until late before reaching a lower 3/4 slot. While his running fastball gave hitters fits, his mid-70s slider drew uncomfortable swings-and-misses to the back-foot of righties, while freezing and getting chase versus left-handed hitters. There is plenty of rawness to the operation now, with more control than command, but this physical lefty could really tick further with proper refinements to the delivery.
