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

Damien Nolan, Saint Mary's College High School (CA), 2027 Positional Profile: RHP/3B Intriguing RHP with starter arsenal. Potential two-way talent, with compelling tools at the plate. Body: 6-0, 184-pounds. Wiry, athletic build with strength evident throughout the frame. Has room to fill out further. Delivery: Starts with hands at the belly button, showing little movement, prior to syncing with the front leg during the load. Sinks into the back leg with a drop/drive motion while moving down the mound with a long stride. Employs very high leg kick, before engaging the hips with slight inward hip turn. Hips fire open slightly early, but direction to the plate is maintained. Shows feel for blocking, and works with a smooth, controlled delivery. Arm Action: RH. Delivers from a low 3/4 slot with a full arm path that creates depth behind the body. Loose, but aggressive arm action generates quick acceleration through release. Finishes with noticeable recoil. FB: T90, 86-88 mph. High spin FB that displays good life and some run (particularly when thrown to arm-side). Misses barrels and can generate whiffs with enough carry at the top of the zone. T2557, 2435 average rpm. CB: 69-69 mph. Two-plane action; used to change eye level. Potential for putaway pitch. 2199 average rpm. SL: 72-77 mph. Showcases two offerings. Tight, late breaking SL that tunnels well off the FB. Generates whiffs against both sides. Confident using inside to LHH. Additionally, displays SL with sweeping action to RHH; gets chase away. 2002 average rpm. CH: 73-75 mph. Kick-change profile that kills spin. Effective weapon against LHH in any count, with late drop/fade. Gets swing-and-miss low and away. T794, 731 average rpm.

Damien Nolan, Saint Mary's College High School (CA), 2027 Positional Profile: RHP/3B Intriguing RHP with starter arsenal. Potential two-way talent, with compelling tools at the plate. Body: 6-0, 184-pounds. Wiry, athletic build with strength evident throughout the frame. Has room to fill out further. Hit: RHH. Starts from a wide, balanced stance with a slight bend in the back knee. Hands rest at ear level with a raised back elbow. Initiates the load by sitting into the back knee as the hands drift into the slot. Uses a small toe tap for timing before striding forward under control. Fires hips at foot landing, keeping hands back for solid separation. Works directly through the zone with slight uphill path and good bat speed, producing consistent hard contact and power to the middle and pull side. Power: 101 max exit velocity, averaged 85.4 mph. 382' max distance. Arm: RH.
