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

Nicholas Wirick: RHP/3B, (2023) Nicholas Wirick, OH. 5-foot-11, 220-pound. During batting practice, the right-handed hitter had an exit velocity of 89 mph. (70.2 mph bat speed average). (20.2 mph hand speed average). Started in a narrow open stance with a smooth controlled load, then used a long big leg kick. Bat speed is raw explosive, exhibits a loose uphill swing plane and high balanced finish. In the infield, displayed a velocity of 82 mph; had choppy aggressive footwork, a lengthy twitchy exchange, and sure firm hands. Fields the ball out front. On the mound, showed quick arm speed with a compact arm action and a high ¾ arm angle. Drop-and-drive type pitcher who uses some effort. Threw his fastball 80-81 mph. Showed running action. (Max spin 1970; Avg 1970). His 11/5 curveball (69-71) showed gradual action. (Max spin 2043; Avg 1897). His changeup (66-68) shows fading action.
Hit: Upright setup from the right side. one of the higher bat speed guys we saw on the day, ramping it up to 75mph according to blast. Also an efficient mover with obvious physicality. Loud BP up to 93mph off the bat.
Power: Big time pop.
Offensive Projection: Middle.
Field: Corner skill set. Plays with good tempo and ball skills that are solid. Could see him on either side of the infield.
Throw: Projects for average to above average strength.
Defensive Projection: CIF.
Delivery/Scouting Notes: Up and down actions with an arm that travels from a near over the top slot. Delivery requires regular effort. Physical presence on the hill.
Fastball: Works downhill with quality sink and slight run.
Breaking Ball: Sliderish look to it, darting across the zone with some depth.
Changeup: Maintains most of his arm speed on the offering that has similar run/dive to fastball.
Pitchability: Strike thrower for the most part.
