The maximum speed, in the direction of home plate, that the wrist is traveling. Measured in meters per second (m/s)
Arm Slot
Angle of the forearm relative to the ground between maximum external rotation (MER) and ball release (BR). Which can be a powerful player comparison metric, delivered in degrees.
Knee Extension Velo
The angular velocity of the front knee straightening after foot plant, which provides indicators of velocity potential. Measured in degrees per second.
Deception
The amount of time that the ball is visible to the hitter, after the instant of front foot strike. Measures in milliseconds.
Hip-Shoulder Separation
The difference in angle of between the hips and shoulders, occurring close to the foot plant. Measured in degrees.
Physical: 6-foot-1, 150 pounds; Long, slender build. Pitching: Uses a glove side setup working primarily from the stretch. Mid chest leg drive with a slight coil away from the plate. Has a moderate stride while landing slightly closed. Short take back while showing some scap load; high 3/4 slot. Spins off 1B side with finish. FB: Peak velo of 79 MPH, while sitting 77-79 MPH; heavy, downhill plane. CB: 66-68 MPH; 11-5 shape with plus movement.
2/23/22
Physical: 6-foot-1, 145 pounds; Lean, long build.
Pitching: Uses a glove side setup while using a side step. Mid chest leg drive with shoulders above the hips. Has a long stride while landing slightly closed. Moderate arm swing while showing some scap load; high 3/4 slot. Square to the plate with finish. FB: Peak velo of 81 MPH, while sitting 80-81 MPH; straight action. CB: 69-72 MPH; spots and expands. CH: 69-73 MPH; fading action.
6/28/21
Physical: Lean, high-waisted 6-foot, 140lb frame with long levers and ability to fill out as he matures.
Pitching: RHP - Started off the far left side of the rubber using a quicker side rocker step into a tall leg lift slightly above the waist; got down the slope with a tall/fall approach, landing in line and getting over the front side from OTT slot creating downhill tilt. Repeated well and was able to throw the FB for strikes at 75-78 mph (occasional arm-side run, 5.86 foot release height via Trackman). Mixed a 67-69 mph CB with shorter 11/5 shape in advantage counts.
3/27/21
Physical: Long, wiry 6-foot, 140 lb frame.
Pitching: Side step as slides to the left side of the mound into a leg lift above the belt, rides the back side as stride out in line while the glove arm reaches up and across before pulling through over a firm front side. Long, whippy arm action to a high 3/4 slot.
FB: Works downhill to arm side of the zone. CB: 11-5 shape with sharp break flashing depth. CH: Good feel for it out of the FB release point.
