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

RHP Kyle Buckholtz (Lyons Township, 2027) is a projectable right-hander to note from the day, listed at a lean and wiry 6-foot-3, 170-pounds. The right-hander sat 80-83 mph with the fastball, showing carry traits with over 17” IVB at times. The curveball played with a shorter 11/5 shape, but he could land it in the zone consistently, 70-73 mph. His final offering was a changeup in the 73-75 mph range with up to 18” of run at times, flashing feel for the zone.
