Power / Speed Score
A simple calculation that divides the athlete’s Exit Velocity Max by the athlete’s 60 Yard Dash time for the given event year. For example, 98 MPH / 7.00s = 14.00.
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.
Harsch possesses a real tall and projectable build at 6-foot-3, 175-pounds. Sets up with his feet offset on the first base side of the mound.

Harsch has a lanky, athletic 6-foot-2 170-pound frame with room to fill out. Ran the 60 yard dash in 6.90 seconds and had an exit velocity that topped at 80 mph. Offensively, starts in a tall, balanced stance with hands in front of body and bat perpendicular with the ground. Uses a foot stride and toe tap to start swing. Level swing through the zone. Defensively, took reps from the outfield. Throws to 3B topped at 84 mph. Long, loose arm action with some backspin to the base. On the mound, fastball topped at 86 mph, and sat mostly 80-83. Flashed a curveball with some slurvy 10/4 break, and a straight changeup at 73-74. Methodical in his delivery and effortless in his finish from a high-3/4 slot. Velocity jumps when he gets aggressive going down the mound. Look for Harsch to continue to make jumps as he fills out his frame.
