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

Delivery: Long rocker style footwork with a sliding pivot foot. Works to a mid height balance point with heavy coil of the front hip and shoulder. Tall and fall style motion down the mound using natural leverage with the arm swing. Works from the middle of the rubber and strides slightly closed down the slope into a bent plant leg. High glove front side.
Arm Action: LH. High 3/4 arm slot with a long arm action.
FB: T76.2, 73-76 mph. Heavy arm side running action with some sink to the bottom of the zone. T2036, 1935 average rpm.
CB: 58-66 mph. Heavy sweeping shape with developing spin. T1738, 1682 average rpm.

Body: 6-2, 155-pounds. Long and projectable build with room for added strength and size in the future.
Hits: RHH. Starts with a slightly open stance and crouched posture. Hands get set just below shoulder height with a 45 degree barrel angle tucked into the body. Strong load into the lower half with a short leg lift stride. Rotational path with the hands and lower half driving into a firm front leg. Swings with leverage and shows the ability to drive the ball to the middle of the field. Level bat path and a line drive approach. Developing balance with slight lean back in the posture at contact.
Power: 88 max exit velocity, averaged 81.4 MPH. 313' max distance.
Arm: LH. INF-72 mph.High 3/4 arm slot with a shorter arm action.
