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
Slider
Hammer+
A hammer breaking ball drops vertically with velocity through the zone, or 12-to-6 movement. Hammer+ 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.
Uncommitted. 5-foot-11, 150-pounds, lean and wiry build with room to add more strength. Twitchy right-handed swing with a flat path, middle/pull approach in this look with line-drives, some feel to lift the ball up the middle. Steady actions in the outfield, some bounce in the pre-pitch, clean arm and whippy ¾ slot. Gave an intriguing look on the mound with a fastball up to 80 mph, playing with big carry traits through the zone. Flashed feel for his changeup in the 73-74 mph range, some arm-side life. Developing feel for his slider with up to 14” inches of horizontal action, 69-71 mph.
Positional Profile: OF/SS
Body: 5-11, 155 pounds. Trim, athletic build, room to add strength.
Hit: RHH. Slightly bowed in front leg, some weight in the back hip. Longer, steep path, works on top of the baseball, balanced finish, stayed middle/pull-side.
Power: 93 mph max exit velocity (80.3 avg.); 317-foot max batted distance.
Arm: RH. OF - 85 mph. Quick, clean arm, short circle, 3/4 slot.
Defense: Athletic footwork with some bounce, one-hand gather off his front foot.
Athletic Testing: 7.08 runner in the 60-yard dash.
Vizual Edge: 69.33 Edge Score.
