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

It could be argued that Cote had the best offensive performance on Scout Day. Aside from his numbers being sound, he did so consistently from a quiet setup, and good hands + extension through the ball. His max exit velocity was 101, an average of 94, 80% hard-hit percentage & a max distance of 303. A good follow going into the spring for the senior.
Cote is one of the more impressive two-way players in Alberta’s 2024 class, and had one of the better overall days at the Scout Day. At the dish there's present twitch and athleticism. He elevated back up the middle with authority, 7 of his 11 batted balls were above 88 mph and he reached a max exit velocity of 97.5 mph. It's still raw on the mound as he just started to learn how to pitch, but impressive nonetheless. With a short and quick arm, the fastballs sits 85-87 mph and pairs that with a sinker that's 86-88 mph. He has two unique breaking balls with distinct profiles. A slider with -13.2 inches of horizontal break/-7.0 inches of induced vertical break, and a curveball with -6.3 inches of horizontal break/15.5 inches of induced vertical break. Cote will be looking to make a major impact on both sides of the ball with ATHX this summer.
