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
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.

The highest Edge Score within the given year. Edge Score is a comprehensive score that takes the core-six visual skills into account, providing an assessment of an athlete’s overall visual ability.
Esker brings a physically imposing presence to the mound at 6-foot-6, 225 pounds, with a tight, tucked lift from the stretch. His arm works from a shouldery action into an over-the-top release. The fastball sits 78–79 mph (T79) and plays with carry (avg. 2019 rpm). His best secondary is a 67–69 mph curveball that shows two-plane shape and solid spin metrics (T2194 rpm). Esker also mixes in a 73–74 mph splitter that flashes sink. High-ceiling frame with potential for velocity jumps as he refines the delivery.

Peyton Esker, Northview High School (IN), 2027 Positional Profile: 1B/RHP Body: 6-6, 225-pounds. Strong build on a large, developed frame. Hit: LHH. Wide, crouched stance with weight prematurely shifted back into drive leg. Moderate load into hind leg with an early toe-tap timing mechanism followed by a short hover stride. hands work back slightly in time with load as shulders stay compact and work downhill throughout swing mechanics. Short swing with a pullside/lift approach. 66.2 mph bat speed with 10 G's of rotational acceleration. Power: 87 max exit velocity, averaged 74.0 mph. 264' max distance. Arm: RH. INF-76 mph. Longer, loose arm swing from an over the top slot. Defense: Fundamental footwork off the bag at first. Soft hands with an easy exchange. ATH: 9.93 runner in the 60.
