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.

RHP Owen Hobbs (Champaign Central ,2023) catches your attention before he even steps onto the mound, standing at an ultra-projectable 6-foot-5, 170-pounds. The tall right-hander moves down the mound with a slight drop/drive lower-half, creating a tremendous amount of extension at his release point. From a straight over-the-top slot, Hobbs creates a tough angle for would-be hitters with his fastball; riding through the zone with arm-side life and topping out at 83 mph. He then went to an 11/5 curveball at 64-65 mph and fading changeup to round out his three-pitch mix, showing developing feel for both offerings.
