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.
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

SPLT: 72-76 mph. Flashed above-average dive to the bottom of the zone.
Positional Profile: LHP
Body: 6-0, 155-pounds.
Delivery: Loose/athletic delivery, drop/drive lower-half that works in-line to the plate, long stride with a square landing foot.
Arm Action: LH. Short arm out of the glove, moves quick into a 3/4 slot.
FB: T85.6, 83.6-85.6 mph. Explodes out of the hand with arm-side life, jumps on hitters. T2170, 2093 average rpm.

SPLT: 76-77 mph. Hard diving action to the bottom of the zone, thrown with intent and killing spin.
LHP Caden Kuder (Coal City, 2023) made a statement on Sunday as one of the top left-handed pitchers in attendance. Standing at 6-feet, 155-pounds, the southpaw has plenty of room to add on additional strength to his already athletic frame. With a loose/fluid delivery down the mound, the left-hander produces easy velocity with his fastball, topping out at 86 mph with a quick ¾ arm-slot. His fastball jumps out of the hand and gets on would-be hitters quickly, running naturally to his arm-side. Kuder showed off an above-average splitter to complement his already impressive fastball, killing spin with hard downward action, thrown with near identical fastball arm-speed at 76-77 mph. He then went to a short 1/7 breaking ball, thrown at 75-76 mph with mature feel for the bottom of the zone.
Positional Profile: LHP
Body: 5-10, 150-pounds.
Delivery: Tall and fall delivery.
