Power / Speed Score
A simple calculation that divides the athlete’s Exit Velocity Max by the athlete’s 60 Yard Dash time for the given event year. For example, 98 MPH / 7.00s = 14.00.
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.
Keith is an interesting '27 southpaw attacking from a deceptive, just-below sidearm slot to provide a super unique look. The arm works with a loose whip and the slot creates tons of arm-side run (-15" of HZB on avg.) on a fastball that reached 79 mph. His mid-60's slider showed true sweeper shape, spun into the 2400s, and he was able to command a low-to-mid 70s changeup that he killed spin on (1600 on avg.).
