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
Slider
Hammer+
A hammer breaking ball drops vertically with velocity through the zone, or 12-to-6 movement. Hammer+ of 100 is MLB average.

The #9 2029 (#2 RHP) ranked player in GA had a very high quality 1.2 IP in relief. His name was called to hold the Paladins to their 2 run lead, and he delivered. Across his 5 batters faced, 0 reached, and 4 went down on Ks. His FB had heavy ASR at 85-87, producing weak foul offs and s/m. His SL was his best pitch of the night, with impressive 2-7 break and spin as he made batters chase often. He does have a CH option at 77-81 with potential to be another great offering from the snappy, upper 3/4 angle. Already standing 6-foot-1, Pursell screams growth and potential from his already high floor. Already with opportunities to get meaningful innings on a competitive Wolves squad, the young righty looks primed to continue his upward trend.
