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.
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: Wiry, developing 5-foot-8, 125lb frame. 8.41 runner in the 60-yard dash.
Offensively: RHH. Spread, even stance with some hip-coil over the right side. Utilized a short leg-lift stride to initiate the swing through a handsy, slightly uphill path into the hitting zone. Created lift on the ball at times, towards the middle of the field for a T74 mph exit velocity via Trackman. Maintained consistent barrel-awareness while working up to a 60% sweet-spot rate.
Defensively: The middle infielder featured slower pace with choppy footwork at the touch. Fielded off his center and reached back for a 69 mph arm-strength. Developing actions behind the plate, as pops ranged between 2.21-2.26 with directional footwork.
