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

(20.70 mph hand speed average). Starts in a balanced stance with a quick load, then uses a small leg kick. Has a rotational swing plane, above average bat speed and good extension on his finish. Was able to create some loud contact and found multiple barrels. Up the middle approach. Solid in the infield, displayed a velocity of 73 mph; shows soft hands, average in control feet, and a clean fluid exchange. Fields the ball out front. Recorded a 60 time of 7.72 at the event. On the mound, showed quick arm speed, he had a high ¾ arm angle and a consistent arm action. Drop-and-drive type pitcher who uses some effort. Slider (63-65 mph). Sat with his fastball at 76-80 mph. Showed heavy movement. (Max spin 1814; Avg 1643). Shows gradual action on his 11/5 curveball. He shows fading action on his changeup (73-74).
