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.

Christopher Ciarniello: 3B/RHP, (2026) North Kingstown, RI. 5-foot-11, 185-pound athletic build. (66.9 mph bat speed average). (18.7 mph hand speed average). Starts in a balanced stance with a quick load, then uses a small leg kick. Bat speed is quick efficient, exhibits a short swing plane and high finish. He found some barrels with a lot of loud contact. Aggressive approach. Smooth while in the infield, registered his best throw across the diamond at 77 mph; shows next level hands, rhythmic feet, and a quick exchange. Laterally, movements were athletic and fielded the ball out front. Consistent accuracy to the bag, used clean slot with a short consistent arm action. In the 60-yard dash, his time was 7.82. Smooth on the mound, showed a short moderate arm action and a high ¾ arm angle with good arm speed Drop-and-drive type pitcher who shows easy effort. In his delivery his balance point is tall with downhill shoulders. Lands square with an athletic finish. (Max spin 1942; Avg 1904).
