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

Positional Profile: 3B/RHP. His size and foot speed should keep him at corner infield position.
Body: 5-foot-11, 165 pounds. Athletic build with developing physicality. Proportionate frame throughout.
Defense: Limited ranged to both sides with some mechanical fixes to be made. Elevated backside during fielding process causes him to field it deep.
Arm: 71 mph. Short, over-the-top arm cycle. Accurate with some carry.
Hit: Currently the best part of his game. Squared, slightly widened stance. Hands start head high, loading into his shoulder with a slight arm bar. Uses a medium leg kick that gets down on time. Rhythmic, efficient hands to the ball. Transfers weight into front side at contact with a high one handed finish.
Power: 86 mph, via TrackMan
Run: 7.98, Laser Timed
Delivery: Starts in middle of the rubber. Minimal, clean delivery. Tall/tilt type. Stride land on-line. Throws over a high front side. Balanced finish with tendency to fall slightly to glove side.
Arm Action: Long, loose arm action. 3/4 to high 3/4 arm slot.
FB: 74 mph. Spin Rate - 1604-2068 rpm. Throws a heavy ball with downhill action.
CB: 58-62 mph. Spin Rate - 1942-2127 rpm. Slight arm curl. Front side tends to leak leaving the ball elevated or out of the zone. Flashes of good shape when he locates down in the zone.
