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.

Kurth is listed at 6-foot-1 187-pounds with strength in his lower half. During BP, the RHH, leveraged the ground in order to generate power, especially to the pull side to record a max EV of 89 mph. In the field Kurth projects more as a corner infielder as he is able to work through the ball with rhythm and pairs it with an accurate arm up to 76 mph. On the mound, he featured a 3-pitch mix which included a FB that sat 78-79 mph with run and finish to the pitch. As for his offspeed offerings, he spun in a 10/4 CB that has the potential to be a swing and miss pitch and a CH with fade/depth through the zone.
