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.

6-foot-1, 150-pound athletic frame. During batting practice, Shelton clocked an exit velocity of 85 mph. Sets up in an active balanced stance and has a controlled stride. Upward swing plane. Created some loud contact and found multiple barrels. Base hit approach. From the outfield, he showed the ability to throw at velocities up to 75 mph; clean exchange. Showed decent accuracy. In the 60-yard dash, his time was 7.38. On the mound, produced a fastball that came in at 74-75 mph with a max of 76 mph; showed decent control. Had in the zone command and late action on his curveball (65-66).
