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.

In the round he found multiple barrels. Gap to gap approach. Projectable while in the infield, made throws up to 79 mph; showed consistent hands, a quick exchange, and fluid feet. Glovework is shown out front Had an-over-the-top slot and a quick arm action. On the mound, threw from an over-the-top arm angle and had quick arm speed. Slow-tempo type pitcher and uses some effort. Consistent balance point. Produced a fastball that came in at 77-78 mph; shows some action and command around the zone. Threw a 12/6 curveball (63-64) that showed control around the zone and swing and miss action. Showed sinking action and very consistent command on his changeup (73-74).
