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.
Slider
Sweep+
A sweeping breaking ball moves horizontally with velocity through the zone. Sweep+ 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.
Hirayama is arguably made the most improvement since the spring amongst all 2025's. Velocity is up to 87, CB and CHG plus swing-n-miss weapons and was the most impressive arm on Team Hawaii at West Coast Games with a dominating performance. CB and CHG both flash above-average now and project to future plus. Strike-throwing, K-out pitcher who can start or come in out-of-the-pen as a lefty specialist as LHH's just don't pick him up. One of the youngest in his class, Hirayama just turned 17 and has plus body projection, suggesting plus-plus upside. Hirayama jumps up the list to Prep Baseball Hawaii's #15 ranked 2025 and one of the top Hawaii uncommitted players who could get scooped up by a DI any day now.
