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

5-foot-11, 145-pound right-handed hitting first baseman. He ran a 8.3 sixty at the event. The approach at first base is developing, he threw 69 mph across the diamond. The footwork and glove play need to continue to improve as he matures in age. The bat has an exit velocity of 68 mph as strength gains are needed. The setup is narrow in base with the front foot slightly open to start. The path is long and flat to contact.
