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+
A sweeping breaking ball moves horizontally with velocity through the zone. Sweep+ of 100 is MLB average.

Ackerman cemented himself amongst the states best 2027 lefties after a dominant outing at the State Games, where he gave hitters much-older fits with a quality three pitch mix and a deceptive look. The fastball plays at 81-83 for now, but as strength gets added to the 6-foot-1, 155 pound frame, that number should tick. The trait to dream on here is his ability to spin, showing off a true sweeper in the low-70s that spins into the 2700s for a future-wipeout look. He can pull the string on a faded change, commanded to the arm-side, to allow for starters' upside. The arm action is a bit unorthodox, but Ackerman is a good athlete with command of all three pitches, with one of the better breaking balls in the class to this point.
