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.

Positional Profile: 3B/RHP
Body: 5-10, 198-pounds. Physical and durable.
Hit: LHH. Tall and upright stance with hands held at shoulder height and uses a simple load and stride. Simple movements, repeats his swing, turns the barrel aggressively to contact and works uphill through extension, looks to launch and lif the ball to the pull-side with some present power to the pull-side, hit an opposite field single in game, took good at-bats all weekend against good arms and didn't back down as a freshman.
Power: 93 max exit velocity, averaged 86.9 mph. 346' max distance.
Arm: RH. INF-84 mph. Short arm swing, 3/4 release.
Defense: Plays with a wide base and keeps his upper half taller when receiving the baseball out front with average hands and actions, funnels to his right ear before releasing the ball, profiles as a corner INF.
