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.
Curveball
Sweep+

Body: 6-0, 185-pounds. Athletic, strong lower-half.
Hit: RHH. Open and upright stance with hands held at shoulder height, reaches out with front foot as he keeps weight locked into back hip during a simple load and stride. Rhythmic hitter, gets on-plane and behind the ball and works uphill through extension with a two-handed finish, hits behind a firm front leg and finishes balanced in his back leg, natural loft in the swing with present power to the pull-side, hit a pull-side triple down the RF line on Sunday.
Power: 97 max exit velocity, averaged 89.9 mph. 354' max distance.
Arm: LH. INF-85 mph. Short/compact arm stroke with a near OTT release.
Defense: Gathers feet behind the ball with short, choppy steps, receives out front off left side of his body with soft hands into a funnel, showed a quick release and threw from different slots when he had to.
ATH: 6.99 runner in the 60. 1.75 and 3.93 in the 10 and 30 yard splits.
