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.
Curveball
Sweep+
A sweeping breaking ball moves horizontally with velocity through the zone. Sweep+ of 100 is MLB average.

+ '27 RHP Sam Swaim (Terre Haute South) was an intriguing watch with a physical, 6-foot-4, 195 pound frame. The projectable righty gets to a big inward turn at balance point before a drop and drive move down the slope. He lands slightly closed with a one-piece rotational move to finish. The arm action has some funk to it, working with length out the glove before coming back to the ear and unfolding to a high 3/4 slot. He sat in the low-80s with some heaviness to the heater, spinning north of 2400. His best pitch is his breaking ball, spinning it at over 2700 on average at 70-72 with big two-plane shape. The curveball averaged over 15" of sweep and over a foot of depth, a swing-and-miss offering that was also his best commanded pitch. Swaim is an interesting follow with outlier spin and a frame to bet on.
