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: 6-2, 180 pounds; Long, slight 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 landing inline with the plate. Moderate arm swing while showing some scap load; standard 3/4 slot. Spins off 1B side with finish. FB: Peak velo of 84 MPH, while sitting 80-83 MPH; plays up in the zone. SL: 72-75 MPH; late action.
3/04/23
Physical: Long, projectable 6-foot-2, 180-pound frame with more to come.
Pitching: RHP. Begins from the stretch-only off the middle of the rubber; closed set position. Big hip-coil with angle into the zone from a higher release (H ¾). Imparted arm-side run on the FB at 82-84MPH; 2200+ rpms and mixed a sharp U70’s SL across the zone; feel to spin. Added a commanded 77-79 CH to round out the arsenal.
6/14/22
Physical: Lean, projectable 6-foot-2, 170lb frame with leverage available.
Pitching: RHP. Begins from the stretch-only off of the middle of the rubber; breaks over the mound with plenty of length working down the slope out of a full arm-swing. Loose actions mostly giving way to a 77-80 mph FB to both sides. Clean extension on top of hitters, mixing a hard-sweeping 67-68 mph breaker and fading 70-71 mph CH.
2/19/22
Pitching: Uses a center rubber setup working primarily from the stretch. Mid chest leg drive with a slight coil away from the plate. Has a long stride landing inline with the plate.
