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
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.

Strong, athletic 5-foot-10, 170-pound frame. Ranked 150th overall in the state’s sophomore class. Worked out on the infield and as a right-handed pitcher. Starts balanced from the right-handed batter’s box, slightly open stance with hands up high at the ear, subtle hand load into a short stride. Bat travels on a short path through the zone, sees the ball deep at times, line drive approach. Active feet that play to the baseball, upright fielding posture, two-hand gather that work under the center of the body. Arm plays short and finishes from a ¾ angle. Hopped on the mound later on in his workout. Works exclusively from the stretch, quick slide step, tall/fall type delivery with advanced hip/shoulder separation at front footstrike, recoil finish. Short, quick arm stroke finishes from a high ¾ slot. Fastball sat 76-78 mph, played straight and was thrown around the zone for strikes. Curveball is presently his best secondary offering, played at 64-66 mph with sharp spin off an 11/5 plane, landed for strikes. Changeup was thrown with a loose wrist at near fastball arm speed, working in the 69-72 mph range.
