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.

Physical: 6-4, 185 pounds; Long, wiry build.
Pitching: Uses an arm side setup while using a side step. Belt high leg drive with a slight lean over the belt. Has a moderate stride landing inline with the plate. Long arm swing while arm stays in line with 2B; high 3/4 slot. Spins off 1B side with finish. FB: Peak velo of 86 MPH, while sitting 84-86 MPH; life through the zone. CB: 71-73 MPH; late action. SL: 76-79 MPH; tilting break. CH: 79 MPH; fading action.
Physical: Next level 6-foot-3, 180lb frame with two way skill set. 7.22 runner in the 60.
Offensively: RHH. Balanced, even stance, as the hands started with a high-elbow on the backside; utilized a short lift and replace stride with some weight shift towards a flat path into the hitting zone. Recorded a 90 mph exit velocity, showing easy connection and rotational scores during his round. Did damage when getting extended to the pull-side of the field; didn’t get cheated in game action.
Defensively: The shortstop featured longer strides for range in either direction and added a live 82 mph throwing arm from multiple slots that transfers directly over to the mound. Might hold down a corner role due to size.
Pitching: RHP. Slower, momentum building pace that stays over the rubber with balance before getting down the mound with intent late. Got over the front side well on 83-87 mph FB that ran in on RHH hands. Mixed sharp 70-72 mph CB in any count, manipulating for swing/miss at times, and threw confidently over outing.
