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

Illinois-Chicago commit, RHP/MIF Sean Cody (Richards) is a name our staff has continued to hear about over the past six months. Standing in an athletic 5-foot-11, 173-pound frame with lean strength to pair, Cody showed well on the mound in his two-inning stint. He’s an athletic mover with a long arm path and quickness out front, running his fastball up to 90 mph, but sitting mostly upper-80s. His curveball sat 70-73 mph with 11/5 shape, and he showed a change-up that sat 73-78 mph. He finished his two-inning stint with three strikeouts, one walk and one hit allowed. He recorded some impressive metrics at the plate during the showcase, posting a max exit velocity of 100.7 mph and an average exit velocity of 95.6 mph (third highest at the event), while sending his farthest hit ball 365 feet. His bat speed metrics were equally as impressive, posting an average bat speed of 75.4 mph. A 6.88 runner, Cody showed well up the middle with his glove, paired with a strong arm that was up to 87 mph across the diamond.
