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.

SL: 64-67 MPH; . CH: 71-72 MPH; maintains same plain. High intensity delivery with good downward bite on the curveball.
Physical: 6-foot-2, 170 pounds; Long, athletic build.
Pitching: Uses a glove side setup working primarily from the stretch. Belt high leg drive with a slight coil away from the plate. Has a long stride landing inline with the plate. Moderate arm swing while showing some scap load; high 3/4 slot. Spins off 3B side with finish. FB: Peak velo of 83 MPH, while sitting 80-82 MPH; arm side run. CB: 67-69 MPH; 1-7 shape. CH: 70 MPH; fading action. Showed plus command of the curveball. Projectability and room to fill out at his 6-2, 170lb frame.
Physical: 6-foot-2, 170 pounds; Long, slender build.
Pitching: Uses a glove side setup working primarily from the stretch. Minimal leg lift with shoulders above the hips. Has a long stride landing inline with the plate. Short take back while showing some scap load; standard 3/4 slot. Spins off 3B side with finish. FB: Peak velo of 82 MPH, while sitting 79-82 MPH; straight action. CB: 62-65 MPH; showed depth. SL: 69-72 MPH; short action. CH: 69-72 MPH; fading action. Curveball showed depth at 12-6. Kills spin on the changeup, slider registered above average spin.
Physical: Lengthy, high-waisted 6-foot-2, 155lb frame with lots of projection.
Pitching: LHP - Started off the far right edge of the rubber using a quick, higher leg lift with a slight pause at the top that held tempo down the slope. Above-average posture, staying upright into footstrike, releasing on-time from H ¾ slot. The FB ranged from 74-76 mph with heavy arm-side run in on LHH. Mixed in a gradual 58-59 mph SL with two-plane tilt at times, able to create weak contact when getting leveraged out in front.
