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+
A sweeping breaking ball moves horizontally with velocity through the zone. Sweep+ 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

Arm Speed
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: Taller, projectable 6-foot-1, 170lb frame with much more to come.
Pitching: RHP. Begins off the left part of the rubber, left foot facing forward; quicker pace throughout the delivery, maintaining a hinge at the stack. Held his line well down the slope, bracing the front-leg properly from a H ¾ slot. Rode the FB above the hands at 82-85, T86 mph (2341) with ability to change eye-level with a top-to-bottom 68-71 mph CB (2269) on an 11/5 plane. Added a hard-thrown 74-76 mph CH with short fade.
Physical: Lean, projectable 6-foot-1, 170lb frame with RTF/athleticism.
Pitching: RHP - Compact delivery that repeats among the best in attendance. Really rides the line down the slope with quick, shorter arm-action (H ¾ slot) and ability to hold velo with durability. Landed 84-87 mph FB with riding life and mixed hard downer 69-72 mph breaker with two-plane shape. Got swing/miss on a couple CH to lefties, fading hard to arm-side. Future Games participant.
