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.

Duwell gave an upside look on the mound on Saturday night. Easy mover with a simple, effortless delivery. Lively fastball that jumped out of the hand, sitting 83-85, T86 mph early. Used a low-70’s change-up with gradual fade as an out pitch. Scattered three hits throughout five innings of work. Strong 6-foot-3, 190-pound frame.
Positional Profile: RHP/1B
Body: 6-2, 200-pounds. Well proportioned, strong lower half.
Delivery: Hybrid delivery.
Arm Action: RH. Short arm action, 3/4 slot.
FB: T87, 85-87 mph. Feel for the zone, able to spot glove side and arm side. T2155, 1945 average rpm.
CB: 74-76 mph. 11/5 shape, tight break. T1902, 1785 average rpm.
CH: 79-80 mph. Same shape as fastball, maintains slot and arm speed. T1927, 1873 average rpm.
RHP Mesfin Duwell (Lyons Township, 2024) showed a raw, projectable pitch mix in Lockport on Monday that should put him on the radar following his PBR event debut. There, Duwell – a wiry, lean 6-foot-2, 186-pound righty – sat in the low-80s (82.6 mph high) with a fastball that projects well, featuring above-average spin and horizontal break for its velocity and his age. His size and loose, easy arm action combine to create a projectable follow profile for the sophomore.
