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.

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/1B Follow..RHS. Solid build, projects to add strength. FB will be effective up/down, velocity will continue to develop. CB with varying action, solid spin, swing/miss potential. Change with action present. Watch develop.
Body: 6-3, 230-pounds. Solid build/frame. Width to back/shoulders. Good middle/lower. Will add strength.
Delivery: Front step rocker, high knee lift with inward turn of body, loads into back leg. Cast stride leg, out/down the slope. Slight cross step delivery. Solid finish.
Arm Action: RH. Semi compact circle, arm works with arm speed present.
FB: T91, 89-91 mph. Can pitch up/down. Shows carry up in zone. Velocity will increase. T2289, 2047 average rpm.
CB: 74-78 mph. Sweepy/slurvy action. Solid spin, ability to vary action. T2150, 2021 average rpm.
CH: 82-84 mph. Tail/sink action with arm speed. Lowered slot at times. T1764, 1561 average rpm.
Taegen has a solid build and will add strength. His delivery is repeatable, and his fastball reached 86-88 mph with arm-side tail and sink. He blends in a breaking ball between 73-77 mph and shows good feel for the pitch. His changeup sits at 78 mph. Tate relies on athleticism mostly now, but as he refines his stuff, he will have a chance to be one of the top righties in the country.
