The reactive strength index measurement of an athlete's explosiveness by comparing their jump height to the ground contact time in between their jumps. On a scale of 0-5.
Vertical Jump
A measure of any athlete's body strength and reach calculated from the flight time divided by the contact time.
RHP Colin Giles (St. Ignatius, 2027) stands in a tall, lean 6-foot-5, 175-pound frame. He works from a high ¾ slot, showing a smooth, repeatable delivery. His fastball sat 83-85 mph, topping out at 86 mph, averaging 2410 rpm with above-average arm-side run. He paired it with a curveball in the 70-72 mph range, averaging 2481 rpm, with an 11/5 shape and above-average action. The pitch showed a negative IVB (-10.3 inches) and horizontal movement (-11.3 inches). Giles also mixed in a changeup at 76-77 mph, with above-average movement to the arm-side and deception.

Putting together one of the better ‘pens on the day was RHP Colin Giles (St. Ignatius, 2027). Giles is an athletic mover at an imposing and long-limbed 6-foot-4, 177-pounds. HIs mix was headlined by a low 80’s fastball (T83 mph), that played with sink and arm-side run, reaching an average spin rate of 2454 rpm. His 69-73 mph curveball was a potent offering as well; playing with a sharp 11/5 shape and also showing to be a high-spin offering (avg. 2677 rpm). Giles would round everything out with a 76-77 mph changeup that had heavy arm-side fade (avg. 18.5” HM), and showed promise as another quality secondary pitch down the road.
