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.

Arm Speed
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
The amount of time that the ball is visible to the hitter, after the instant of front foot strike. Measures in milliseconds.
Hip-Shoulder Separation
The difference in angle of between the hips and shoulders, occurring close to the foot plant. Measured in degrees.

Physical: 5-11, 190 pounds; Proportional, Slight build.
Pitching: Uses a glove side setup while using an angled drop step. Mid chest leg drive with a slight coil away from the plate. Has a moderate stride while landing slightly open. Moderate arm swing while showing some scap load; standard 3/4 slot. Square to the plate with finish. FB: Peak velo of 85 MPH, while sitting 81-84 MPH; arm side run. CB: 69-72 MPH; late action.
Physical: Compact, stocky-built 5-foot-10, 170lb frame.
Pitching: RHP. Started from the middle-left side of the rubber; quicker pace and shallow stack that worked to get down the slope with late intent. The arm-swing operated short to long and repeated for strikes at 80-82, T83 mph (12 inches HM). Added an upper-60’s CB at 66-68 mph with slurve shape and tacked on a 68-70 SL as the out pitch. Commanded a 73-75 mph CH with hard fade and 100% zone rate.
Physical: Lean, high-waisted 5-foot-9, 175lb frame with some athleticism on the bump.
Pitching: RHP - Started off the middle/left side of the rubber with a deep side rocker showing quick pace throughout the delivery; controlled, medium stack position before driving down the slope on time from a loose, high ¾ slot with a fluid stab in the back. FB entered the zone from 76-78 mph with some sink into the zone at a near 50% rate. Mixed a two-plane 65-66 mph CB that flashed feel for spin at an 11/5 tilt, but could be thrown a little harder down the road. Potential to be a strikeout pitch.
