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: Strong and thickly built 6-foot-1, 195-pound frame with a well proportioned build. 7.33 runner in the 60-yard dash.
Offensively: RHH. Balanced, even stance with slight bend in the backside, the weight favored the right leg as the hands worked with minor rhythm by the ear. Utilized a lift-and-replace stride in order to deliver a slightly uphill barrel path into the hitting zone, the lower half was extremely adjustable and athletic, repeatedly starting the swing and getting the hands on-plane early/often. Was able to hit the ball where it was pitched regardless of quadrant, showcased a gap to gap approach during batting practice. Recorded a top bat-exit velocity of 94 mph according to Trackman Baseball.
Defensively: The primary third baseman flashed quality footwork at the hot corner while continuously getting around the ball hit to his right side. Played downhill through the fielding window while featuring a soft glove hand that worked out in front. Choppy, rangy actions to the glove hand side while releasing from an accurate, low ¾ slot across the diamond. INF - 77 mph
