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

Event: Peninsula Preseason ID
Body: 6-3, 175-pounds; Long limbs, lanky proportions though with sinewy strength, has broad frame to continue to grow and gain mass.
Delivery: Continuous movement, starts with left foot forward before dropping into a slight prep step into high knee lift, tucks into top of lift while showing left pocket to catcher, slight cross body stride, heel strikes first, swings glove side past body as backside comes through, maintains calm head, slight spin off to 1B side, can create more leverage vs the front side to get to more extension, fluid actions and good rhythm.
Arm Action: Deep on backside down to back knee, comes out of backside cleanly to high-3/4 release that was fairly consistent for each of his offerings.
FB: T84.4 mph, 83-84 mph range, 2171 max spin; hints of above average arm side movement, as he gains velocity there is an opportunity to make his ability to keep the FB on plane into a strong asset, the release height could drop a touch and potentially accentuate his fastball movement and plane traits.
SL: 71-72, 2172 max spin; Slippery breaker with two plane break, can slide it deftly to the glove side, sweepy break, gets enough depth in zone to start bats and elicit soft contact or swing-overs.
CHG: 77-78 mph, 1470 avg spin; Firm change-up relative to the FB velocity, big movement pattern, similar extension and release height to FB with more arm side movement, average spin and reduction off the FB works as late fade in zone.
at Casa Grande: Tall lanky and rangy body, loose delivery actions, overhand slot, FB showed some cutting action with arm action/release occasionally pulling the ball a bit, big tumbling CB, likes and trusts the CHG which presents very much like his FB.
