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.
Curveball
Sweep+
A sweeping breaking ball moves horizontally with velocity through the zone. Sweep+ of 100 is MLB average.

1B/LHP Nolan Hecht (N/A, 2028) is a left/left two-way prospect to note from the event. Offensively, short, simple swing, repeated line-drive contact with loose, strong hands and the top exit velocity of the event; T81 mph. He was also comfortable around the first base bag during defense, showing athleticism and a loose arm that was good for the second-strongest of the event at 71 mph. He rounded out his day on the mound where he sat 70-71 mph.
