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

Physical: 6-1, 165 pounds; Slight, Lean build. 6.63 runner in the 60.
Offensively: RHH. Even setup, with feet shoulder width apart; bat positioned at a 45 degree angle. Short take back with the hands with a slight leg-kick for timing. Stays behind the ball while showing an aggressive lower half. Showed a short swing path with a two handed finish. More flyballs than line drives and groundballs with a peak exit velocity of 92 MPH via Trackman.
Defensively: Starts with an upright /tall setup; walks into ready position while utilizing a quick first step. Hands are underneath the body while funneling to the hip before transfer. Short take back from a standard 3/4 arm slot. INF - 83 MPH.
Pitching: Uses a glove side setup while using an angled drop step. Mid chest leg drive with a slight lean over the belt. Has a long stride landing inline with the plate. Short take back while showing some scap load; high 3/4 slot. Spins off 1B side with finish. FB: Peak velo of 85 MPH, while sitting 80-83 MPH; arm side run. SL: 71-74 MPH; tilting break.
Physical: Lean, high-waisted 6-foot, 155lb frame. 6.71 runner in the 60-yard dash.
Offensively: RHH. Traditional, even stance, as the hands operated at the shoulder. Utilized a short leg-lift stride to initiate the swing through a lengthy, slightly uphill path into the hitting zone. Stayed behind the ball with leverage present, working towards a high two-handed finish on the backside. Recorded a T86 mph exit velocity up to 303 feet via Trackman, delivering a lofty approach mostly during his round.
Defensively: The middle infielder showed off chopped footwork and a soft glove-hand that funneled inward from a flat posture. Drove the chest over the front side to create momentum, reaching back for a 77 mph arm-strength (H ¾ slot).
Pitching: RHP. Starts off the left corner; compact delivery with some hip-coil, unwinding down the slope into footstrike. A 75-78 mph FB (1760) held the zone at a 39% clip with occasional arm-side run, mixing a quality low-60’s CB and fading 69-71 mph CH.
