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

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: RHP/3B RHP…upside. FB will continue to develop. Like the slider action/finish, shows ability to get swing and miss. CB…limited use showing solid spin. Did not see change. LHH/Inf…will get stronger physically. Opportunities for adjustments to improve bat/power combo. Defensively easy adjustments to enhance ability. Nice upside.
Body: 6-2, 184-pounds. Good build/frame to add strength. Well proportioned build.
Delivery: Stretch only delivery. Slight inward turn to delivery, nice job of using back leg. Stride foot cast around, stride foot lands slightly open. Works over front leg, spinoff finish. Slight head pull, some effort.
Arm Action: RH. Full circle with slight length to backside. Extension to release with crossbody finish.
FB: T87, 84-87 mph. Shows life with tail action including to glove side at times, sink down. Fringe avg command. T2213, 2089 average rpm.
CB: 75-75 mph. Limited use. Shows solid spin, 11-5 type break. Can tighten. T2310, 2310 average rpm.
SL: 77-83 mph. Downer action showing avg finish at times. Solid pitch showing feel. Avg future pitch. T2455, 2240 average rpm.
ATH: 7.23 runner in the 60. 1.73 and 4.01 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. Runs hard. 25.60 max vertical.
Positional Profile: RHP/3B RHP…upside. FB will continue to develop. Like the slider action/finish, shows ability to get swing and miss. CB…limited use showing solid spin. Did not see change. LHH/Inf…will get stronger physically. Opportunities for adjustments to improve bat/power combo. Defensively easy adjustments to enhance ability. Nice upside.
Body: 6-2, 184-pounds. Good build/frame to add strength. Well proportioned build.
Hit: LHH. Lands slightly closed with stride. Lower 1/2, backside hip use limited, rotational back foot that slides away from home plate losing ability to impact baseball. Would like to see get to ball of foot and stay on ball, not slide away or develop some linear movement forward with rotating foot. Back foot can slide away on pitches away occasionally for balance. Body lays back slightly at contact, would like to see more upright, can increase impact of bat. Barrel starts somewhat flat with no trigger. Some length to swing will pull approach. Would like to see small hand trigger added along with hands not casting out, taking shorter path. Develop location recognition and ability to use all fields. 68.5 mph bat speed with 9 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 95 max exit velocity, averaged 78.3 mph. 338' max distance. Upside to bat/power combo taking advantage of develop opportunities. Swing adjustments for contact consistency and lower 1/2 improvements for impact.
Arm: RH. INF-85 mph. Arm works fine, full circle present, would like to see more compact circle as infielder…although tough with pitching as well. Avg accuracy to throws. Threw from high slot only, didn't show ability to throw from all angles.
Defense: Feet work fine getting to baseball to field. Dead stop feet fielding, must learn to play thru baseball with feet. Fields ball deep, can field baseball more out front with hands out front. Avg body control moving to baseball with fair agility. Fair foot speed/quickness in infield. Corner infielder.
ATH: 7.23 runner in the 60. 1.73 and 4.01 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. Runs hard. 25.60 max vertical.
