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.

Almazan, with an athletic 5-foot-7, 135-pound frame, had an all-around game for the Cangelosi Sparks in their second game of the tournament. Almazan started the game at SS, showing off his range, athletic ability, and strong arm. Making a handful of plays including snagging a ground ball through the middle followed by a strong throw to get the runner out. He would end the day on the mound flashing a 76-80 mph fastball followed by a 12-6 curveball. Almazan had a natural presence on the mound and was able to fill up the zone with both pitches and generate outs. He looks to be an all-around threat for this Cangelosi Sparks team affecting the game on both sides of the field. Also impressed at the plate with his strong right-handed swing, mature presence with above-average feel to hit for his age.
