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
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.

The 6-foot-1, 175-pound right-hander’s arm works loose from an over-the-top slot, working with a tall/fall operation that remains in-line to the plate, moving with fluidity throughout. His fastball sat in the 82-83 mph range, topping out at 84 mph with sinking action and ASR. He showed two different breaking balls throughout his session; the first being a short 10/4 slider at 70-72 mph, and the second being a tight 11/5 curveball, 67-71 mph. Positionally, Guenther showed some of the better infield actions on the day. Plays with light, active feet, bouncy actions and sure-hands and clean, easy release with arm strength for the left side. At the plate he sets up upright and looks to elevate the baseball to the pull-side while flashing bat speed. 7.02 runner in the 60.
