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.
Ritchie is 5-11 with an athletic frame that has strength present and some projection left to it. He hits from the right side from a slightly open balanced relaxed stance, strides on line, loads down and back. Hips rotate completely with some violence and he maintains some lower half balance. Hands stay inside, short to the ball, uphill swing path with some strength at contact and extension through the ball, showed a good approach working primarily gap to gap, has power present in the alleys, generates natural loft to all fields, exit velocity was 91. In the infield, rounds the ball and fields with a wider base with above average hands, works through the ball to a quick clean exchange, throws from a low three-quarters arm slot, short arm action, position velocity was 75. On the mound, he throws from a lower three-quarters arm slot, short loose quick arm action and some effort to his delivery. Shoulders are uphill and closed, lands closed with an athletic finish. Fastball was 81-82, touching 83, with some downward angle and a bit of late armside run to it. Curveball was 71-72 with good armspeed and hard sharp 11/5 break to it. Change-up was 75-77 with good armspeed and hard armside run to it. Slider was 75-77 with good armspeed and hard 10/4 break to it.
11.5.17: Ritchie is 5-7 with a strong lower half, throws from a high three-quarters arm slot with a longer free arm action and normal effort. Shoulders are uphill and on line, sweeps foot to an open landing with a slight fall off finish. Fastball was 64-66 with some sink. Changeup was 60-61 with some sink to it, slowed arm a bit to throw. Curveball was 58-59 with gradual 12/6 break and some armspeed.
