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

Grip Strgth (LH)
Grip strength is a measure of a players bat control and ability to transfer power and speed during impact, measured in pounds of force generated; collected with elbow bent at 90 degrees.
Grip Strgth (RH)
Grip strength is a measure of a players bat control and ability to transfer power and speed during impact, measured in pounds of force generated; collected with elbow bent at 90 degrees.
Positional Profile: 1B/RHP
Body: 6-0, 237-pounds.
Hit: RHH. Open stance, slightly wide setup. Hands above and behind ear. Quick step and hand load. Very handsy swing, stays through zone well. 76.8 mph bat speed with 12 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 95 max exit velocity, averaged 87.7 mph. 359' max distance.
Arm: RH. INF-76 mph. Strong, 3/4 - over the top throws.
Defense: Fields the ball deep in stance and moves very athletically.
ATH: 1.83 and 4.34 in the 10 and 30 yard splits.
Vizual Edge: 63.89 Edge Score
Positional Profile: 1B/RHP
Body: 5-10, 150-pounds. Medium frame, strong lower half.
Delivery:
Arm Action: RH.
FB: T69, 67-69 mph. T1573, 1499 average rpm.
CB: 54-57 mph. T1379, 1347 average rpm.
CH: 54-56 mph. T908, 814 average rpm.
Positional Profile: 1B/RHP
Body: 5-10, 150-pounds. Medium frame, strong lower half.
Hits: RHH. Wide base, slow flow in hands, weight centered. Good hip pace with smooth, repeatable upper half coil in stride that creates stored rotational power. Mostly knob led path with some sweep but good feel for back elbow tuck and front arm shrink. Ability to manipulate.
Power: 82 max exit velocity, averaged 70.3 MPH. 262' max distance. Backspin to both gaps.
Arm: RH. INF-56 mph.Short arm action H3/4 slot who gets the ball out quickly for age & position.
Defense: Solid footwork with soft hands.
