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 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
Slider
Hammer+
A hammer breaking ball drops vertically with velocity through the zone, or 12-to-6 movement. Hammer+ of 100 is MLB average.
Slider
Sweep+
A sweeping breaking ball moves horizontally with velocity through the zone. Sweep+ of 100 is MLB average.
I first identified Yeakle throwing on a Grand Park backfield at 14u, sitting about 75 mph with hands nearly to his knees and a loose left arm. He got an invite to our Fall State Games last fall, and went to work this offseason to show huge gains since his last appearance with us. Now all of 6-foot-2 and 165 pounds, that loose, whippy arm now produces a low-slot fastball that sat 81-83 and was up to 83.5 mph. The fastball plays with big arm-side run and he also showed a developing 75-77 slider and an upper-70s change. The secondaries still need to refine, but the arm is what I like best here. Yeakle shows several traits indicative of a future division one arm, and his development will be monitored closely moving forward.
