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

OF/RHP Brody Matcuk (Chandler, 2024)
6-foot-1 168 pounds, lean and projectable frame, high waist. Room for added strength. Exciting ball player, great tools, unorthodox actions. Speed big tool of his. (Running) 6.7 runner in the 60. Long and smooth/repeatable strides, covers ground. (Offense) RH. Max EV 96. Max Dist. 358. Good posture in stance. Slightly open base at shoulder width. Hands held ear height with some rhythm to the hands. Direct stride that hovers to landing. Pushes off the back side and gains some ground forward, some length is added with the hands during stride. Has some hand/bat speed, could tighten the hands to the body some. Swing mechanics are still very raw, gap-to-gap XBH type hitter. Gets to the top half well. Plus speed and base running ability. (Defense) (OF) RH. OF velo 85. Aggressive to the ball with clean glove work. Quick and consistent to release. Moves around very well, above average range and tracking ability.
