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
Slider
Hammer+
A hammer breaking ball drops vertically with velocity through the zone, or 12-to-6 movement. Hammer+ of 100 is MLB average.
Slider
Sweep+
A sweeping breaking ball moves horizontally with velocity through the zone. Sweep+ of 100 is MLB average.

Grip Strgth (RH)
Grip strength is a measure of a players bat control and ability to transfer power and speed during impact, measured in pounds of force generated; collected with elbow bent at 90 degrees.
One of the top overall athletes in Kansas’ 2028 class, OF/LHP Landen Hays (Olathe Northwest) delivered a well-rounded and impactful showing in this look. A twitchy, high-motor multi-sport standout, Hays consistently found the barrel from the left side during BP, spraying line drives to all fields with a peak exit velocity of 93.1 mph and a swing that’s already proven capable against quality arms. His athleticism and energy translate seamlessly to the outfield, where he moves with ease and flashed a strong 89 mph arm. With a fast-twitch profile and advanced feel for the game, Hays continues to establish himself as one of the premier names in Kansas’ 2028 class.
