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.

Watson showed off his athleticism when he hit a triple to the opposite field gap Saturday. Watson continues to impress with the bat. Finished 1-for-1 with two walks and an RBI today.
Watson started the game for White Sox Ace, going 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, and striking out four. On the hill, Watson is an athletic mover downhill and got a lot of swings and misses in his two innings of work. The right-hander operated with a three-pitch mix. The fastball sat 77-78 mph with sinking action, curve sat 63-65 mph with feel for the zone, and flashed a changeup at 69 mph that is developing.
Gavin Stanislawski, Anthony Cartolano, Aidan Dillon, Mikey Watson, Jordan Culbreath and Brady Cunningham are just a few 2027s in attendance that showed well and are heading to Brother Rice next year. Of them, Stanislawski had one of the top all-around showings on the day. On the mound, he has a polished repertoire with a clean upside arm and fastball that topped at 82 mph. Stanislawski also had one of the more intriguing swings on the day, working highly-repeatable, short and flat through the zone with a knack for hard contact.
