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.

James Fernandez: RHP, (2026) Ridgefield, CT. 5-foot-7, 152-pound athletic lean build. Raw projectable on the mound, showed developing arm speed, he had a loose clean arm action with a ¾ arm angle. Tall-and-fall type pitcher and uses easy effort. Has a low balance point with in line shoulders. Lands closed with an athletic finish. Threw his fastball 70-72 mph; has arm side command and sinking action. (Max spin 1662; Avg 1511). Had a 1/7 curveball (56-57) that showed slurvey early action and down in the zone command. (Max spin 1877; Avg 1798). His changeup (63-64) showed fading action and arm side command. Super clean arm action, look for a velocity jump at some point.
