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
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.

Physical: 6-1, 165 pounds; Athletic, slight build.
Pitching: Uses a center rubber setup working primarily from the stretch. Mid chest leg drive with a slight coil away from the plate. Has a short stride landing inline with the plate. Moderate arm swing while arm stays in line with 2B; high 3/4 slot. Spins off 3B side with finish. FB: Peak velo of 80 MPH, while sitting 78-80 MPH; life through the zone. CB: MPH; 12-6 shape. SL: 68-71 MPH; . fading action.
Physical: Taller, projectable 5-foot-11, 145lb frame. 7.60 runner in the 60-yard dash.
Offensively: RHH - Upright, even stance with a high-handed start above the head. Utilized a short lift and replace stride to initiate a flat path into the hitting zone. Repeated the slot and was able to handle pitches at the letters on a line drive approach towards an on-plane two-handed finish. Recorded some gap to gap, flush contact up to a T75 mph bat-exit velocity. Barrel-lag present, sequenced well, more power coming.
Defensively: The outfielder worked downhill over the toes with good chest angle on the ball. Fielded off his right side, sometimes over the middle and turned the shoulders, releasing from an accurate OTT slot to the plate (72 mph arm).
Pitching: LHP - The southpaw begins from the stretch only. Shallow leg lift and gets over the front side well from a shorter, H ¾ slot. The FB landed at 71-73 mph, straight and mixed a 56-58 mph CB on a 1/7 tilt. Developing 64-66 mph CH feel at 1492rpms.
