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+

2.23.19 - 5-foot-7, 150-pound right-handed hitter starts with a square stance and initiates his swing using a quick leg-lift stride. Showed a flat bath-path to the ball and when his front foot was down, displayed a feel for the barrel and his 78 mph bat-exit-velocity. Demonstrated solid feel around the bag during defensive evaluations and used a quick arm to record throws of 69 mph across the infield. Ran a solid 7.44 60-yard dash. The primary left-handed pitcher utilized a high 3/4 arm-slot and a leg-hang to deliver 68-71 mph fastballs that featured both controlled cut and arm-side-run. His 60-63 mph curveballs displayed 1/7 rotation.
