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.
Curveball
Sweep+
A sweeping breaking ball moves horizontally with velocity through the zone. Sweep+ of 100 is MLB average.

RHP Michael Scarpelli (Libertyville, 2023) tossed one of the more polished bullpens on the day. From his projectable and athletic 6-foot-2, 180-pound frame, the righty wraps his wrist out of the glove before transitioning into a clean, high ¾ arm slot. He moves athletically down the mound with a drop/drive lower half, striding in-line to the plate. His fastball sat 82-83 mph, topping out at 84, featuring noteworthy sink at the bottom of the zone, fit with feel for the outer edges of the plate. He displayed a curveball at 67-70 mph, with slurve-type traits in an 11/5 shape along with impressive control of the strike zone. Scarpelli rounded out his impressive three-pitch mix with a fading changeup at 75-77 mph, thrown with fastball intent that he also kept down in the zone, helping paint a complementary picture of his profile as a pitcher now, and at the next level.
