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.

Cape Cod: Halbach took a big step forward as a sophomore this spring for the Tritons, hitting .306/.406/.500 with five homers and 15 doubles in 206 at-bats, and he was even better for Orleans, hitting .364/.455/.512 with three homers, five doubles, two triples and 15 RBIs in 121 at-bats. He showed good barrel awareness and decent plate discipline, though he struck out (24) twice as often as he walked (12). A 6-foot-3, 215-pound power hitter, Halbach has an intriguing combination of strength and hittability. With a wide base, a short stride and a powerful swing, Halbach is an imposing figure in the righthanded batter’s box, where he comes across as hitterish, to put it simply. We saw him wear out the middle of the field with hard line-drive contact, and he also showed some power to all fields over the course of the summer. He should only get stronger as he continues growing into his big frame, and it’s easy to dream on his offensive upside. Halbach played third base this spring for UC San Diego, but he spent the summer at first, where he is a very good, athletic defender. He also runs just well enough that he would likely be able to hold his own if needed in left field. But if Halbach shows SoCal scouts that he can handle the hot corner, and if his power continues to emerge next spring, he could be a top-five-rounds pick.
Bay Area World Series 2020 (BAWS) - Uncommitted; Profiles as middle of the line-up hitter, power & arm project as plus tools, above avg runner/fielder. On mound flashes rotation quality stuff, including FB up to 87 and a hard CB (76-78). There is a lot of Stephen Piscotty type talent in him (yes, saw him repeatedly in HS and at this same event, twice, as well).

Hit: RHH. Balanced setup, feet just wider than shoulders, very slight crouch, hands held slightly higher than shoulder height, looks comfortable at plate. Rhythmic knee lift/load, hands get back a bit away from body. Swing happens easily with looseness, flexible wrists should allow for swing adjustability, maintains quiet head and balance through the swing, power will develop with strength gains.
Power: 90 mph exit velocity in cage front toss session.
