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.

Novak is a left-handed arm that displayed some fluid actions on the mound. The 5-foot-11, 157-pounder attacks from a shorter arm action with a 3/4 release. The heater sat in the 82.9-84.1 mph range (T84.5 mph) with an average spin rate of 2000+. Combos the heater with a slider/changeup mix. The slider acts like more of a slurve with a mix of horizontal/vertical break (2200+). The changeup showed good fade to it. Avi is an intriguing arm in the ‘26 class that is equipped with a three pitch mix that could produce a lot of uncomfortable at-bats for hitters.
