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.

Grip Strgth (LH)
Grip strength is a measure of a players bat control and ability to transfer power and speed during impact, measured in pounds of force generated; collected with elbow bent at 90 degrees.
Grip Strgth (RH)
Grip strength is a measure of a players bat control and ability to transfer power and speed during impact, measured in pounds of force generated; collected with elbow bent at 90 degrees.
Positional Profile: SS/RHP
Body: 5-9, 170-pounds. Well built lower half to go along with a wirey athletic body. Lots of room to add size and strength.
Hit: LHH. Pre-pitch starts tall with feet shoulder width apart. Sinks into back leg with a forward stride with head level dropping. Hands are held by shoulder blades well resisting forward move, creating a good rubber band action before launch. Rotates on back leg well through the swing. Barrel turns deep behind the body and is on plane in the zone for a long time. Presents ability to stay inside the ball the other way and to turn on balls. Plenty of added power in the works as he develops. 63.6 mph bat speed with 12 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 83 max exit velocity, averaged 76.0 mph. 293' max distance.
Arm: RH. INF-74 mph. Good on target throws from a low three quarter arm slot.
Defense: Showed good footwork with good glove presentation. Moved to ball with confidence.
ATH: 7.57 runner in the 60. 1.76 in the 10 yard split. 25.10 max vertical.
Positional Profile: SS/RHP
Body: 5-11, 175-pounds.
Hit: LHH
Arm: RH.
Positional Profile: SS/RHP
Body: 5-10, 155-pounds. Wirey athletic body that has a well built lower half. Can add size and strength overtime to go along with some twitch in his movements.
Delivery: Slow delivery, gets his body moving down the mound early, simple repeatable mechanics; filled up the zone with FB, showed flashes of a good sharp breaking ball
Arm Action: RH
FB: T72, 69-71 mph. FB showed life at times, was in the zone most the time; FB needs to be moved around the zone consistently to set up offspeed pitches and mix up its look T1740, 1558 average rpm.
CB: 56-59 mph. Cb has good shape, and at times late movement; Sweeps across the zone and usually close to the zone T2074, 1786 average rpm.
CH: 61-65 mph. CH has good movement to it, fades to the armside, good speed difference; Will get good results when it's thrown to LHH and in hitter advantage counts T1457, 1410 average rpm.
ATH: 7.48 runner in the 60. 1.85 and 4.21 in the 10 and 30 yard splits.
