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.

James Rabuse: OF/RHP, (2026) Wahconah, MA. 165-pound projectable athletic build. Projectable and above average at the plate, Rabuse was ranked 2nd with an exit velocity of 94 mph. (73.5 mph bat speed average). (21.2 mph hand speed average). Began in a balanced wide stance with a controlled load, then used a small stride. Bat speed was quick, had an uphill loose swing plane and good extension on his finish. Found multiple barrels with loud contact. Gap to gap aggressive approach. Projectable above average throwing from the outfield, he displayed power in his arm with throws up to 93 mph;showed a natural clean exchange, in control athletic feet, and soft developing hands. Fields the ball to the side, movements laterally were athletic. Used a high ¾ slot and a very quick loose arm action while showing consistent accuracy to the base.
