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.

6-foot, 180-pound thin athletic frame. Simple load and stride. Starts and finishes on line. Level path to contact. Was a little early in regards to timing in a few at bats, resulting in a few ground balls to the left side. Gets out of the box well and ran a 4.2 home-first on a slow wet surface. Going to be an interesting bat to follow into the spring.
VA/MD State Games
5-foot-11, 175-pound athletic projectable build. Athletic in the box, Harlow had an exit velocity of 91 mph. (73.1 mph bat speed average). (20.1 mph hand speed average). Begins in an open athletic stance with a quick compact load, then uses a short small leg kick. Bat speed is present raw, shows a short simple swing plane and high balanced finish. He found multiple barrels with a lot of loud contact. Gap to gap line drive approach. Athletic his best position velocity in the outfield was registered at 85 mph; has a clean fluid exchange, sure consistent hands, and smooth athletic feet. Fields the ball out front, movements laterally were athletic. Showed consistent accuracy to the bag with an-over-the-top slot and a short consistent arm action. Performed well in the 60-yard dash, clocking a speedy time of 6.8. On the mound, had a longer arm action and a ¾ arm angle with quick electric arm speed. Up-tempo tilt-and-topple type pitcher who uses some effort. Showed athletic balance point and uphill shoulders. Lands square with recoil balanced finish. Threw his fastball 80-83 mph with a max of 84 mph; showed tailing action and command around the zone decent. (Max spin 2394; Avg 2290). His 11/5 curveball (68-70) has some around the zone control and tight action. (Max spin 1822; Avg 1803).
TPG East II
Harlow has an athletic 5-foot-11 and 169-pound frame with some strength present and room to add more. Athletic and balanced open stance, creates some rhythm preload with the hands before they work slightly back in the pick up and put down load. Lands on line and hips rotate completely with some violence. Barrel path is compact and direct with plenty of strength at contact and speed through the zone. Works slightly uphill through the zone with a high finish. Showed ability to drive the ball to all fields with carry posting a top exit velocity of 93. Harlow flashed a plus run tool and ability to cover a ton of ground in the outfield as he ran a laser timed 6.72 60-yd dash. In the outfield Harlow has active and fluid footwork upon approach to the ball. Breaks down early and fields the ball slightly deeper with above average hands and quicker, clean exchanges. Works through the ball well and throws with a fuller arm circle from a three-quarter slot and a top velocity from the outfield of 82 mph. Posted a 84 mph infield velocity. On the mound Harlow has a simple normal paced delivery with some rhythm to it. Level, slightly closed hips and shoulders throughout the delivery. Lands on line with some late intent moving down the mound, arm action is full from a low three-quarter slot. Downward plane on the fastball with some slight cut on it at 74-77 mph while topping at 78. The curveball has a sharp breaking 10/4 shape and some feel for the lower half of the zone at 59-60 mph.
