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
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 solid frame. At the plate, the right-handed hitter's best exit velocity was 93 mph. Started in a balanced stance with a controlled load, then used a leg kick. Had efficient bat speed and upward swing plane. During the round showed some loud contact. Gap to gap approach. Showed his live arm in the infield with position velocities up to 87 mph; showed a clean exchange, and sure hands. Had decent accuracy to the bag with a very quick arm action. Recorded a 60 time of 7.34 at the event. Projectable on the mound, uses a very quick arm action and a high ¾ arm angle. Used some effort in his delivery. Showed consistent balance point. Lands square. Fastball Produced a fastball that came in at 83-84 mph with a max of 85 mph; had arm side command. Has tight action on his 11/5 curveball (62-63). His changeup (75-76) had arm side control and fading action. A lot to like here on the mound and at the plate.
5-foot-11, 175-pound. Fluid on the mound, showed above average arm speed and a loose arm action. Athletic balance point. Threw his fastball 80-81 mph and topped out at 82 mph; shows sinking action and arm side command. Has a 11/5 curveball (67-68) that shows in the zone command. Had fading action and very consistent control on his changeup (76-77). Does a nice job sinking the fastball and fills the zone up with all three pitches.
