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
Slider
Hammer+
A hammer breaking ball drops vertically with velocity through the zone, or 12-to-6 movement. Hammer+ of 100 is MLB average.
Slider
Sweep+
A sweeping breaking ball moves horizontally with velocity through the zone. Sweep+ of 100 is MLB average.

Scouting Notes: Clean delivery/moves well. Long back arm action through near over the top slot. Delivery requires some effort. High velo guy on secondary offering CB s.
Fastball: Heavier than velocity suggested. Slight downhill with true action east to west. Could easily see more velo down the road.
Breaking Ball: Breaking ball was impressive. Heavy action with the ability to generate high velo on the offering. Well above average hand speed. Quality pitch.
Changeup: Almost identical offering to fastball.Hit: Middle frame/skill set. Glides into foot strike with lower half as hands stay quiet through loading sequence. Downhill path with physicality playing a louder role than speed to stroke. Top exit velocity of 80mph.
Power: Flashed gap abilities.
Offensive Projection: Middle ceiling.
