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.

Grip Strgth (LH)
Grip strength is a measure of a players bat control and ability to transfer power and speed during impact, measured in pounds of force generated; collected with elbow bent at 90 degrees.
Grip Strgth (RH)
Grip strength is a measure of a players bat control and ability to transfer power and speed during impact, measured in pounds of force generated; collected with elbow bent at 90 degrees.
Positional Profile: OF/RHP
Body: 6-0, 180-pounds. Durable, strong build, wide shoulders with a developed lower-half.
Delivery: Stretch only, high leg-lift into balance point, works downhill with intent, aggressive finish.
Arm Action: RH. 3/4, long, full arm action.
FB: T90, 88-90 mph. Clear life out of the hand, mostly straight action. T2337, 2252 average rpm.
CB: 75-78 mph. Tight, short shape, thrown with intent. T2732, 2657 average rpm.
SL: 77-79 mph. Similar shape to CB, short, thrown hard. T2622, 2531 average rpm.
CH: 83-85 mph. Late drop at times, stays arm-side, thrown with fastball intent. T1941, 1838 average rpm.
RHP Joseph Falkowski (Taft) was one, if not the biggest winner from the day. He has a stronger build at 6-foot-1, 195-pounds with round shoulders, and there's likely more room to add on strength in the coming years. Working exclusively out of the stretch, he works with some intent throughout his operation, coiling into a medium balance point before working down the mound with a drop/drive lower-half, pre-setting his front hip before he works downhill. His arm plays with a longer draw out of the glove, transitioning into a ¾ window. His fastball opened some eyes, sitting in the 88-90 mph range with some carry at times (T2337 RPM), setting up two high-spin breaking balls. His curveball played around 75-77 mph with over 2,700 RPM and sharp action, while his slider showed more horizontal break at 77-79 mph (T2622 RPM). Bullpen profile arm at the next level.
Positional Profile: OF/RHP
Body: 6-0, 180-pounds. Present strength in frame.
Hit: RHH. Wide stance, pre-pitch hand rhythm, leg-lift timing trigger. Swings with controlled intent, strong hands and lifted approach. mph bat speed with G’s of rotational acceleration.
Power: 90 max exit velocity, averaged 80 mph. 314’ max distance.
Arm: RH. OF - 83 mph. Medium arm circle in the back, high 3/4 release.
Defense: Works behind the baseball, secures through release and works directional to target.
Run: 7.71 runner in the 60.
