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

Physical: Compact, athletic 6-foot-2, 208lb frame, athletic thrower who competes in the zone.
Pitching: RHP - The righty setup off the middle of the rubber with a pause at the side rocker and pace coming out of it; clean stack position with hip-coil and deception through crossfire at release (H ¾ slot). FB ranged 79-82 mph to the arm-side, sinking at times. Mixed quality 73-75 mph SL as the out pitch with increased command. Added and subtracted when he wanted to; had hitters fooled often.
6/15/21
Physical: Strong, projectable 6-foot-2, 185lb frame with durability and athleticism on his move down the slope.
Pitching: RHP - Started off the far left side corner of the rubber to begin; above-average pace to the delivery, getting the ball and going from a balanced stack position. Drove down the mound in a connected manner, able to reach out over the front side at footstrike with a fluid H ¾ arm action at release. The FB ranged from 78-80 mph with low-spin and occasional heaviness to the bottom of the zone, mixing a well-spun 70-73 mph SL T2300rpms that flashed a consistent 7+ inches of HM across the plate. Able to throw each in any count, keeping hitters between speeds for the most part (got groundballs in game action).
