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.

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.
Grip Strgth (RH)
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.
Physical: Projectable 6-foot, 160lb frame with wiry athleticism.
Pitching: RHP. Starts from the middle-right side of the rubber; short drop step before using the hands and leg lift simultaneously to create rhythm before footstrike. Timed up pull down from H ¾ slot with room to add to the stride length. The FB landed 76-79 mph with low-spin, mixing a 67-69 mph sweeper that played off of a similar, gradual plane.
