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

James Collela brought a ton of presence to the mound. High-waisted, very fluid and athletic mover on the bump who showed an above average spin profile on all three of his pitches. Fastball that ran between 76-80mph flashed some interesting arm side movement, and the heavy downward breaking ball profiles as an effective strikeout pitch. With more growth and polish inevitably in store, Collela could give hitters problems from the left side for years to come. The athleticism also profiles well in the OF.
