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
Slider
Hammer+
A hammer breaking ball drops vertically with velocity through the zone, or 12-to-6 movement. Hammer+ of 100 is MLB average.
Slider
Sweep+

Hughes is 6-2 with a lanky athletic frame that has a lot of projection left to it. Throws from a high three-quarters arm slot, short loose arm action and normal effort to his delivery. Drop and drive delivery, shoulders are uphill and closed, lands closed with a fall off finish, hides the ball. Fastball was 79-82, touching 83,, pitch has downward plane and boring action to armside. Breaking ball was 66-69 with good armspeed and sharp 11/5 break to it. Face four hitters, one bunted and he struck out the other three. Fastball generated a handful of swing and misses in a short outing. Lot of velocity upside.
