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-2, 155-pound lean frame. On the mound, Smith had good arm speed with a ¾ arm angle. Uses some effort in his delivery. Showed consistent balance point. Lands square. Produced a fastball that came in at 77-78 mph; shows running action and arm side control. Throws a sharp curveball (65-69) that has late action. His changeup (70-71) has fading action and around the zone command.
6-foot-2, 155-pound. Projectable on the mound, used a ¾ arm angle with a quick arm action while showing good arm speed. Has consistent balance point. Displayed a clean finish Threw his fastball 79-80 mph; had glove side control and running action. Throws a sharp curveball (68-71) that shows in the zone command.
Another young player that has a tall, lean build that will definitely add weight and strength to an already solid skill set. Tracked balls very well in OF drills and did a nice job of resetting his feet before the throw and used his weight through the throw very well. At the plate, he started with a slightly open stance and showed a very level swing plane. His hands and barrel stayed inside the ball which created a short, compact swing. His set up was solid and he did a nice job of hitting off of a firm front side.
