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: Strong lower-half with a proportional 6-foot, 180lb build.
Pitching: RHP. Starts centered off the middle of the rubber; pause after the rocker-step, finding a clean stack position just above waist-height with intent down the slope. Lulled hitters to sleep, blowing the FB by (81-84 mph) with a fast arm out of a H ¾ slot. Mixed a sweeping upper-60’s CB and killed a faded 71-73 mph CH (1451). Dodged barrels through his multiple innings of work.
Physical: Strong, projectable 6-foot, 180lb frame with starter’s appeal. 7.29 runner in the 60.
Offensively: LHH. Balanced, upright stance, as the hands operated in rhythm above the shoulder. Utilized a directional lift and replace stride to initiate the swing through a flat path into the hitting zone towards an extended two-handed finish. Produced consistent barrel skills during his BP round, turning on the rear hip with adjustable actions at the front of the plate. Recorded a T90 mph bat-exit velocity via Trackman.
Defensively: The outfielder featured corner appeal, fielding out over his toes with some momentum towards the target. Reached back for a full arm-circle and notched an 88 mph arm-strength positionally.
Pitching: RHP. Begins off the left corner; side rocker-step with a pause in the stack. Drop-and-drive delivery down the slope, allowing for carry at the letters from 85-85, T86 mph (18.8 inches IVB). Mixed a low-70’s CB/SL combo with manipulated tilt, adding a quality 71-75 mph CH with short fade.
Physical: 5-foot-10, 160-pounds. Athletic build. 7.66 runner in the 60; 4.51 home-to-1B.
Offensively: LHH. Tall stance, keeps bat high around the nose area, keeps a consistent rhythm, quick step instead of leg kick, finishes with both hands-on bat Up the middle contact hitter, quick bat through the zone, level swing through the zone. Line-drive, up the middle hitter. 82 MPH raw exit velocity.
Defensively: Plays the ball in front of body, stays back to allow the ball to come to him, accurate throw to target. Long, over the top release. OF - 72 MPH.
Pitching: Fundamental, balanced delivery with leg lift above the waist before striding downhill to a repeatable release and balanced follow through. Long arm swing to a 3/4 release. FB: T77, 76-77 MPH. Flashed some arm side run. CB: 57-59 MPH. 11-5 shape with early break. CH: 64-64 MPH. Good hand speed with arm side fade.
