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.

Physical: 6-foot-1, 185 pounds; long, lanky build. 7.52 runner in the 60.
Offensively: RHH. Open stance, hands resting on back shoulder; strides out neutral and wraps barrel back behind his head. Just drifts forward, slow clearance of the hips with level swing, likes to get hands extended . Got around the ball a lot, pulling it hard to left field; peak Trackman exit velocity of 87 MPH.
Defensively: Upright set up, one leg in front of the other; tracked the ball well, showed athleticism in all actions. Soft hands, uses off hand on the side of the glove to trap the ball; long arm swing with a slight stab at the back of his motion. OF - 82 MPH.
Pitching: Good slow tempo to delivery, strides out comfortably with good shoulder rotation. Long arm action, over the top/high 3/4 slot. FB: T 80 MPH, 77-80 MPH. The fastball has a higher spin rate than his velo should show, indicating a possible uptick in velocity in the future. CB: 63-65 MPH. Has the ability to throw a very tall CB from his arm slot, just needs to get out infront on the pitch down the slope. CH: 71-72 MPH. Solid changeup, has good feel for the pitch and could develop it into a good secondary pitch.
