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

Ashton Higgins, a 2025 graduate from Notre Dame Prep High School, emerged as a standout on the mound during Sunday's showcase. The right-handed pitcher showcased a well-rounded repertoire, featuring a 3-pitch mix that included a fastball consistently sitting in the 84-87 mph range. What set Higgins apart was his impressive command and ability to effectively deploy all three pitches, keeping hitters off balance and working the strike zone with precision. His poised and composed approach on the mound signals a promising future for Higgins as he continues to refine his skills and contribute to the success of Notre Dame Prep's baseball program.
