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.

The former Jr. Future Games standout has continued to show development in every viewing since the trip to Georgia. With up close looks in the early fall and now in January, it’s easy to anticipate a monster sophomore season for Melendez. A legitimate two-way player, it’s hard to decide where he stood out more during the event. As a pitcher he touched 87 mph with the fastball while twirling a sharp, whiff inducing, 80 mph slider, Melendez finished his outing with the following line: 3U, backwards K, 4-3, L4, backwards K. Soft contact and befuddled hitters. At the dish he appears to be getting to his power a little more consistently. The barrel control is also much improved as he showed in-game where he was out in front and managed to lag the barrel behind and get enough of it on the ball to pull it through the right side for a base hit.
