2022
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.

Physical: 6-0, 165 pounds; Lean, athletic build. 7.48 runner in the 60.
Offensively: RHH. Even setup, with feet just outside his shoulders; upright bat position. Short take back with the hands with an up and down stride for timing. Slides weight forward pre-contact. while showing an average effort from the legs. Showed a slight lift to the ball with a two handed finish. More line drives than flyballs and groundballs with a peak exit velocity of 88 via Trackman from the right side.
Defensively: Starts with a balanced setup; walks into ready position while showing active feet. Hands are off to the side with a clean transfer. Moderate arm circle from a standard 3/4 arm slot. OF - 84 MPH.
Pitching: Uses a center rubber setup working primarily from the stretch. Belt high leg drive with a slight lean over the belt. Has a moderate stride landing inline with the plate. Moderate arm swing while arm stays in line with 2B; standard 3/4 slot. Upright with finish. FB: Peak velo of 82 MPH, while sitting 80-82 MPH; life through the zone. CB: 72-74 MPH; 1-7 shape. OTHER: CT: 75-76 MPH; CT: flattens out.
Physical: Broad-shouldered, projectable 6-foot, 165lb frame. 7.64 runner in the 60-yard dash.
Offensively: RHH. Crouched, spread out stance, as the hands operated just above the shoulder to begin. Utilized a big leg-kick stride to initiate the swing through a slightly uphill path into the hitting zone. Stayed on-plane towards the finish, allowing for some rotational parts and a pull-side approach. Posted a T86 mph exit velocity and worked up to a 303 foot distance.
Defensively: The primary outfielder featured corner actions, playing behind the ball with a soft glove hand off his left. Shuffled multiple times before reaching back for a 77 mph arm-strength positionally (H ¾ slot).
Pitching: RHP. Starts off the left corner of the mound, stretch-only. Compact delivery that hides the ball with hip-coil, getting downhill at release. FB ranged 72-76, T77 mph with varying success in the zone, mixing a sharp, lateral 66-68 mph CB on an 11/5 tilt (13 inch HM).
