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

Grip Strgth (LH)
Grip strength is a measure of a players bat control and ability to transfer power and speed during impact, measured in pounds of force generated; collected with elbow bent at 90 degrees.
Top 5 rated player in the 2025 class. 6-foot-1, physical bat with some of the louder pop we saw at of the group, running it up to 99 mph off the bat several times with a peak EV of 100.2mph. Does things most can't do in the box.
Taylor Belza: C/3B, (2025) St Ignatius, OH. 6-foot, 174-pound solid frame. During batting practice, Belza recorded an exit velocity of 89 mph. Began in an open athletic stance with a smooth quick load, then used a leg kick. Bat speed is quick and has a level rotational swing plane. Solid while in the infield, made throws up to 77 mph; has smooth developing feet, soft hands, and a developing exchange. Movements laterally were average and he fields the ball out front. While catching, his best position velocity throwing to second was registered at 74 mph; has a clean exchange, smooth feet, and sure hands. Recorded a pop time of 2.04-2.07. Average flexibility and clean setup. Clocked a 60 time of 7.9 at the event. On the mound, showing quick arm speed he used a quick arm action with a high ¾ arm angle. Drop-and-drive type pitcher and uses some effort. Has a low balance point. Produced a fastball that came in at 75-79 mph; showed running action and arm side command. Threw a 11/5 curveball (66-69) with plus action. Had fading action and arm side control on his changeup (69-71).
