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.

Power: 87.45 mph max exit velocity in BP, 81.06 mph average exit velocity, and 280 feet max distance.
Arm: RH. INF - 77 mph. Short arm action, 3/4 slot.
Defense: Good footwork at times, good hands at times, clean funnel to release, fields the ball out in front.
Run: 7.77 runner in the 60.
Intriguing ambidexterous pitcher, was 75 mph from the left side with a 61 mph curveball and 68 mph changeup. From the right side he was 75-76 with a 61 mph curveball, and 65-67 mph changeup. He uses a 6 fingered glove and both his arm action and delivery look like mirror images of each other. The lanky 6-foot-1, 176-pound 8th grader ran an 8.08 60-yard dash, showed some pop with the bat at 79 mph exit velocity and his arm strength was good at 76 mph across the field from SS.
