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

Nolan Sickels: SS/RHP, (2026) Bellbrook High School, OH. 6-foot, 165-pound. (57.4 mph bat speed average). (18.1 mph hand speed average). Started in a balanced quiet stance with a controlled load, then used a toe tap stride. Bat speed is developing, uses a simple flat swing plane and high finish. Solid while in the infield, registered his best throw across the diamond at 80 mph; has sure hands, a natural exchange, and consistent feet. Fields the ball out front, movements laterally were athletic. Showed a high ¾ slot and a quick arm action. On the mound, showed consistent arm speed with a high ¾ arm angle and a compact arm action. Drop-and-drive type pitcher and uses some effort. Showed slight running action. (Max spin 2212; Avg 2107). Has gradual action on his 11/5 curveball. (Max spin 2116; Avg 1980). Shows a 10/4 slider with late action. (Max spin 2390; Avg 2268).
