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.

The former Future Gamer and Southern Miss commit ended up on the losing end of a tough 1-0 ballgame, but that doesn't take away from how good he was for Catholic BR last Thursday night. It feels like everytime that we see Lawrence, we come back saying, "This is the best we've seen him", and the same can be said about last week. He was dialed in from the first pitch of the game and was in complete control. Lawrence did an excellent job of locating his 84-88 mph FB to both sides of the plate and was extremely effective at running his two-seamer in on the hands of LHH's. He flashed both a low-70's CB and mid-upper 70's SL for strikes and swing & miss, as well as a mid-upper 70's CH. It was a four-pitch mix for strikes, in any count, which led to him throwing 6 innings and giving up 0 ER with only 1 BB and 5 K's.
Lawrence was the second guy that we got to see last Friday, as he got the start against the Bucs JV squad and he showed that he's continuing to stay on the right trajectory. The southpaw graudally builds up during his delivery before using a loose arm stroke to release the ball from a high 3/4 slot. He did a good job of commanding his 82-84 mph FB and he showed the ability to land it to both sides of the plate. His 70-73 mph CB flashed "1-7" shape with good break and depth, and he was able to land it for strikes. When comparing his Future Games outing from last summer to his outing last Friday, it was easy to see the jumps and strides that he's made over the last 7-9 months, and with a 6'5" 170 lbs. long-limbed and projectable frame, there is likely still more to come.
