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
Slider
Hammer+
A hammer breaking ball drops vertically with velocity through the zone, or 12-to-6 movement. Hammer+ of 100 is MLB average.
Slider
Sweep+
A sweeping breaking ball moves horizontally with velocity through the zone. Sweep+ of 100 is MLB average.

Positional Profile: RHP/1B
Body: 6-4, 220-pounds. Big, strong build
Delivery: High set position with a big lift. Aggressive move to the plate.
Arm Action: RH. Arm works a bit stiff but is consistent.
FB: T89, 87-89 mph. North - South arsenal profile. The FB has potential to be a weapon at the next level with more carry. T2341, 2200 average rpm.
SL: 74-77 mph. Sharp, late break. Got some very ugly swings on this pitch. T2407, 2282 average rpm.
CH: 72-76 mph. Takes a little too much off the pitch, needs more development. T1143, 1021 average rpm.
Jim Liebel: 1B/RHP, (2026) Indian Hill, OH. 6-foot-4, 195-pound projectable athletic frame. (68.4 mph bat speed average). (23.0 mph hand speed average). Begins in a balanced stance with a tight load, then uses a small leg kick. Bat speed is quick, displays a short swing plane and balanced finish. Was able to create some loud contact and found some barrels. Gap to gap approach. Smooth athletic in the infield, his best throw was recorded at 83 mph; shows soft consistent hands, a quick twitchy exchange, and smooth athletic feet. Laterally, movements were athletic and fielded the ball out front. Showed consistent accuracy to the base with uninterrupted slot and a very quick arm action. Clocked a 60 time of 7.3 at the event. Advanced on the mound, used a high ¾ arm angle and a short very quick arm action while showing lightning arm speed. Feel type pitcher who uses easy effort. Showed consistent balance point and uphill shoulders. Lands square with balanced finish. (Max spin 2209; Avg 2074).
