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

Off the mound, quick tempo motion, stays over the backside, is tall throughout, gets down the mound, with an athletic finish. The arm action is clean and quick, the fastball was clocked at 82 mph, with life to it. The breaking ball reached 71 mph, with some swing and miss to it, with last action. Like the projection off the mound.
Exit Velocity: 87 mph
Arm Velocity: 77 mph

Hinkson begins in a balanced, athletic stance with the hands relaxed just off the back shoulder. A short stride triggers a simple, flat swing that stays on plane a long time. In the infield, Hinkson made throws up to 71 mph, while showing sure hands, consistent, smooth feet, and a clean exchange. During the event, he recorded a 60 time of 8.1.
