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

Austin Kirkpatrick, an uncommitted 2025 corner infielder from Casteel High School, made a strong impression at Tuesday night’s event with his performance at the plate. The left-handed hitter showcased his immense power potential, driving the ball with authority from a tall, athletic stance. His swing, characterized by intent and bat speed through the zone, produced the highest exit velocity of the night at 102.7 mph. Kirkpatrick’s pop from the left side and his ability to consistently make hard contact make him a standout prospect to watch as he continues his recruitment process.
