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.

Grip Strgth (LH)
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.
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.
Coming off a strong spring with Seaman High School, RHP Lucas Cross (2025) is a high-motor name to keep an eye on this summer. The uncommitted senior is built with length and long levers in a lean 6-foot-3, 175-pound frame with plenty of room to add strength. On the mound, Cross pitched at 83-87 mph with his fastball with arm side run and 2,300+ RPM average spin, topping out at 88.4 mph on the day. Additionally, the righty constantly spun two-high spin breaking balls with a curveball at 68-72 mph and a 75-76 mph slider to pair, with both reaching 2,500+ RPM of average spin.
