Arm Speed
The maximum speed, in the direction of home plate, that the wrist is traveling. Measured in meters per second (m/s)
Arm Slot
Angle of the forearm relative to the ground between maximum external rotation (MER) and ball release (BR). Which can be a powerful player comparison metric, delivered in degrees.
Knee Extension Velo
The angular velocity of the front knee straightening after foot plant, which provides indicators of velocity potential. Measured in degrees per second.
Deception
The amount of time that the ball is visible to the hitter, after the instant of front foot strike. Measures in milliseconds.

Physical: High-waisted, projectable 6-foot-3, 185lb frame with starter’s appeal.
Pitching: RHP. Started from the stretch-only off the middle of the rubber; high leg lift and rides the slide through the back leg down the slope. Full arm circle that timed up footstrike out of a H ¾ slot. The FB landed 78-81 mph with heavy action in on righties hands, mixing short, two-plane 67-70 mph breaker, late depth. Added small fading 71-74 mph CH for strikes to round out the arsenal.
Physical: Strong, well put together, durable 6-foot-3, 185lb frame on the bump.
Pitching: RHP - Stretch-only from the middle of the rubber; momentum gaining pace, finding a balanced stack and then getting over the front-side with shoulder tilt from a H ¾ slot. The FB held the bottom of the zone with good angle at 83-85 mph, strikes, and mixed a sharp, two-plane 65-67 mph CB, flashing some extension. Added a fading 70-72 mph CH that shows potential at times. Three pitch mix, commands all three.
