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.

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.
Colin Axel-Adams, Pendleton Heights (IN), 2027
Positional Profile: OF/LHP
Body: 6-0, 170-pounds. Very projectable athlete. Lean build.
Hit: LHH. Tall, loose setup. Natural rhythm, slower gather into backside with loose hands. Rotational strength with significant twitch in the operation. Looser path, flashes ability to match plane and big G2G juice. High follow
Power: 91 max exit velocity, averaged 83.6 mph. 301' max distance.
Arm: LH. OF-80 mph. Short, quick arm action from an over the top slot.
Defense: Swift mover with quick yet fundamental footwork. Displays ability to get around and behind the ball. Soft hands with an easy exchange.
ATH: 6.91 runner in the 60.
Axel-Adams showed outstanding progress in all areas of his game at the All-State event. A lanky, twitchy, 6-foot, 160 pound outfielder - the swing has clean up, specifically the bat path, and the twitch he possesses allows for present above average bat speed. Axel-Adams had one of the loudest batting practice rounds of any '27 in attendance, reaching a peak exit velocity of 96 mph, and he averaged 90.9 mph throughout his round (event-best for 2027 grads) - with 60% of his swings coming off the bat at 90 mph or better. A 6.96 runner - Axel-Adams holds CF upside, and a valuable profile of a power / speed threat that hits from the left-side.
Colin Axel-Adams, Pendleton Heights High School (IN), 2027
Positional Profile: OF/LHP
Body: 6-0, 155-pounds. Wiry, athletic build
Hit: LHH. Hits out of a tall, open setup with a high back elbow. Small load, uses a barrel tip to trigger the swing, moderate stride length. Stride creates forward momentum into the baseball. Rotational path, bat works level through the hitting zone. Abv-avg bat speed for age, good '27 follow.
Power: 90 max exit velocity, averaged 82.8 mph. 322' max distance.
Arm: LH. OF-80 mph. Moderate arm swing, releases from an over-the-top slot.
Defense: Athletic feet that work downhill. Sure handed defender, shows adjustability playing on the run. Quicker exchange.
ATH: 7.07 runner in the 60.
