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

Positional Profile: RHP
Body: 6-foot-3, 210-pound large and physical frame.
Delivery: On the mound uses short and simple footwork around the rubber. Sets up pre turned to an easy pivot position. Works to a high balance point with a strong weight stack onto the back leg. Tall and fall stall momentum down the slope. Easy rhythm and maintains balance throughout the delivery. Works from the first base side of the rubber and strides directionally down the center of the mound into a firm plant leg. Hands work quietly up and down with the lower half and break from the glove at the top of the balance point. Slight hip and shoulder coil at balance point.
Arm Action: RH. High ¾ arm slot with a clean arm action.
FB: 80-81 mph, mostly straight action with solid spin metrics.
SL: 67-69 mph, big time depth with two-plane shape and tight spin.
CT: 77-80 mph, short action with a feel for landing in the zone.
