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.

Gooch is a really interesting junior, ultra-athletic within a 6-foot, 170 pound frame. He sat 86-88 with athleticism present in a simple delivery. The arm is quick and he spun an abv avg slider for the age at 72-75 (2326 avg) that played with sweep. There was feel to kill spin (1401) on a fading 75-77 change but he slows a touch on it. In total, the athlete is what I like here - he is just coming off basketball so I expect this to be the basement of his velos for his this year, especially considering he was up to 90 last fall. He worked out as a position player prior, slinging 92 from short and 95 from the outfield, while also turning in a burner 30 yard split at 3.73, equivalent to around a 6.6-6.7 range in the 60. Gooch has a chance to polish further which adds to the upside, and he is one of the better uncommitted right-handers that Indiana's junior class has to offer.
