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.

UTL Jack Kesler (Lees Summit North, 2024) put together one of the more polished workouts at yesterday’s event. Kesler’s round of defense behind the plate was especially impressive, as the 6-foot, 170-pound junior peppered the second base bag with accurate bullets, popping in the 1.90-to-2.03 range from a loose, quick arm. He took a quality round of BP, peppering line drives back up the middle with an athletic right-handed swing to pair.
Lean 5-foot-11, 150-pound frame that projects. Played up an age level with Mac N Seitz Cooper and comfortably held his own against the older crowd. Long to contact from the right side with wiry strength off the barrel. Quality defender behind the plate with arm strength; reached a 79 mph high at an event this winter.
