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

Athletic, wiry 5-foot-10, 150-pound frame with twitch and plenty of room for added strength. Right-handed hitter with an efficient, well-sequenced swing – short toe tap stride works behind the ball, and quick hands lead to a clean, on-plane path. Shows present bat speed and projects to hit for both average and impact as strength arrives (90 mph max EV / 291’ peak, 77.0 avg). Defensively, moves well with athletic feet and a clean 78 mph arm that should continue to tick up. Athletically, a 7.18 runner with burst (1.71 / 3.98 splits) that gives him playable range in the outfield. High-upside 2029 with a swing to buy into, athletic actions across the board
