Infield Velocity
The athlete's maximum throwing velocity from an infield position in the given event year. Measured in miles per hour (MPH).
76.0
Power / Speed Score
A simple calculation that divides the athlete’s Exit Velocity Max by the athlete’s 60 Yard Dash time for the given event year. For example, 98 MPH / 7.00s = 14.00.

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.
Ashton made dramatic improvements in strength and barrel to ball consistency from November to June in a 7 month period of time. The mechanics and technical aspect of his hitting has remained the same from the previous event, he shows a pre-set of his load and then for timing he uses a knee kick. Needs to sync the load an knee kick up at the same time as presently his movement patterns are a step one and step two process to hit, but he squared the ball up with line drives and an improvement from 83 mph to 92 mph with his EV. The hand speed was consistent at both events, but barrel to ball was vastly improved. From the INF he addresses the ball with an open glove and plays out front with soft hands, though his feet are well below and see a future move to the OF. The feedback should vault Ashton into future progress and I look for more adjustments and improvement come fall at future events.

Med lean athletic build with some tools to develop with some tweaks and hard work. Not a runner, and will need to move to a corner and hit for some power. Offensively he shows an even props square stance with his hands held away from his body, and stretched out. Holds the bat laid open and uses a big drawback leg kick for leverage and to get something going back. As his foot lands, his bat is still in a laid back position and needs to turn the knob back to the catcher and get to a 45, to create a cocking effect of the hands, which will help with hand and bat speed and allow the ball to exit the bat cleaner. Defensively he showed avg actions and fields out front and has actions. There is comfort to the backhand and he got rid of the ball quickly. On routine GB’s, he takes that extra step to find the grip and this is fixable as they are tweaks to consider. Has 2 years to make some corrections and depending on the aptitude, they will help him turn a corner and show vast improvement.
