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

6-foot, 195-pound frame with strength in the lower half. Former PBR Junior Future Games participant. Quick hand slot from the right side with bat strength to pair, showed pull-side pop at times throughout the weekend.
Elijah Helberg: 3B/RHP, (2025) Kearney, MO. 5-foot-8, 148-pound slim frame. During batting practice, the right-handed hitter clocked an exit velocity of 70 mph. Started in an athletic stance with a tight load, then used a leg kick just before his swing. Bat speed is above average, displays uphill swing plane and high finish. Barreled up some balls throughout the round. Pull side approach. Solid while in the infield, recorded position velocities up to 69 mph; shows a lengthy exchange, developing feet and firm hands. Showed a long arm action with an-over-the-top slot. Recorded a 60 time of 8.28 at the event. Fluid on the mound, used a long arm action and a high ¾ arm angle while showing consistent arm speed. Up-tempo type pitcher who uses easy effort. Displays even shoulders with athletic balance point. Lands square with a clean finish. Threw his fastball 68-69 mph; shows some command, keeping its plane. Shows sweeping action and command low in the zone on his curveball (60-62). He had fading action on his changeup (63-64).
