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.

James Cravens, LHP, DuQuoin (IL), 2023
Uncommitted. Cravens owns an intriguing 6-foot-3, 180-pound frame with long levers and plenty of room for added strength. It’s an easy operation down the mound with a compact arm action with clean acceleration out front. His fastball sat 84-87 mph, topping out at 88.1 mph with quality spin (avg. 2402 rpm), and run to pair (avg. -16.5 in. HM). Cravens showed two off-speed pitches during his ‘pen in Carterville, throwing a curveball in the mid-70s with short actions, and above-average spin at times (T2530 rpm). He displayed feel to throw a change-up at 73-75 mph, killing the spin and creating some fade to the arm-side.
