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.

Lean and athletic frame at 5-foot-9, 140-pounds. Ran the 60 yard dash in 6.81 seconds, one of the tops at the event, along with a top exit velo of 89 MPH. Weight shifted onto his backside in an open stance. Gets into a balanced spot after his stride. Slight, natural bat wrap. Once his hands are cocked, moves directly to the ball. Showed off some line drive pop. Infield velo of 76 MPH on throws. Fields out front and funnels into his midsection. Works around the ball. Long arm action, accurate throws.
