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
Slider
Hammer+
A hammer breaking ball drops vertically with velocity through the zone, or 12-to-6 movement. Hammer+ of 100 is MLB average.
Slider
Sweep+
A sweeping breaking ball moves horizontally with velocity through the zone. Sweep+ of 100 is MLB average.
The maximum speed, in the direction of home plate, that the wrist is traveling. Measured in meters per second (m/s)
Arm Slot
Angle of the forearm relative to the ground between maximum external rotation (MER) and ball release (BR). Which can be a powerful player comparison metric, delivered in degrees.
Knee Extension Velo
The angular velocity of the front knee straightening after foot plant, which provides indicators of velocity potential. Measured in degrees per second.
Deception
The amount of time that the ball is visible to the hitter, after the instant of front foot strike. Measures in milliseconds.
Hip-Shoulder Separation
The difference in angle of between the hips and shoulders, occurring close to the foot plant. Measured in degrees.
Physical: High-waisted, longer limbs at 5-foot-11, 185-pounds. Athletic traits on the bump.
Pitching: LHP. The southpaw starts off the far right corner of the rubber; developing tempo with a big takeaway through a H slot. Really good at hitting the breaks into the front leg, making the CH a future + offering. Worked up to 82-84MPH with horizontal movement off the plate, adding a low-70’s biting SL (2300+ rpms) and a commanded 73-75 CH. Threw two tidy innings with 4K.
6/28/23
Physical: 5-11, 185 pounds; Muscular, sturdy build. Pitching: Uses a glove side setup while using a side step. Belt high leg drive with a slight lean over the belt. Has a moderate stride while landing slightly open. Long arm swing while stabbing downward; standard 3/4 slot. Square to the plate with finish. FB: Peak velo of 84 MPH, while sitting 80-82 MPH; arm side run. SL: 74-78 MPH; 2-tier break. CH: MPH; fading action.
6/29/22
Physical: 5-foot-9, 175 pounds; Average, proportional build. Pitching: Uses a glove side setup while using an angled drop step. Belt high leg drive with shoulders above the hips. Has a long stride landing inline with the plate. Moderate arm swing while showing some scap load; standard 3/4 slot. Square to the plate with finish. FB: Peak velo of 80 MPH, while sitting 74-79 MPH; arm side run with sink. CB: 58-61 MPH; sweeping lateral action. CH: 70-72 MPH; runs. Good command over his three pitch mix. Free and easy arm action. Displayed a fastball with high IVB and a curve with plus horizontal.
10/30/21
Physical: 5-foot-9, 160 pounds; Full, proportional build. 8.37 runner in the 60. Offensively: LHH. Even setup, with feet shoulder width apart; has a pre-pitch bat waggle. Extended take back of the hands with a slight leg-kick for timing. Drifts into contact while showing an average effort from the legs. Showed a flat swing path with a late one hand finish. More line drives than flyballs and groundballs with a peak exit velocity of 81 MPH via Trackman. Defensively: Starts with a low to the ground setup; uses prep hop while active feet. Hands are out in front with a seamless transfer. Long arm swing from a standard 3/4 arm slot. INF - 76 MPH. Pitching: Hays uses a glove side setup while using a side step. Belt high leg drive with a slight coil away from the plate. Has a moderate stride while landing slightly open. Long arm swing while demonstrating segmented stop and go action, while working through a standard 3/4 slot. Square to the plate with finish. FB: Peak velo of 75 MPH, while sitting 73-74 MPH; arm side run. CB: 60-62 MPH; late action. CH: 65-66 MPH; fading action.
