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.

Looking the part of yet another exciting up-and-coming Lake Central product, Berwanger stood out with the bat most. It is a simple swing that he repeats well, lifting the front leg for a short hover before flicking with loose-wrists out-front. Impacts don't jump, peaking at 89.4, but he accurately caught the ball out front for repeated barrels to his pull-side gap. Sound actions on the dirt, up to 83 across, with a chance to stick on the dirt long-term. 7.22 runner. Metrics likely take a jump as he matures further into his wiry, 5-foot-10, 155-pound frame.
