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.

Physical: 6-4, 205 pounds; Long, Sturdy build.
Pitching: Uses a glove side setup while using a side step. Belt high leg drive with a slight lean over the belt. Has a moderate stride while landing slightly closed. Long arm swing while wrist hooks behind back; standard 3/4 slot. Spins off 1B side with finish. FB: Peak velo of 88 MPH, while sitting 83-87 MPH; arm side run with sink. CB: 71-73 MPH; lands for strikes. SL: 73-76 MPH; slurve like. CH: 77 MPH; fading action. Commands all parts of the zone with any pitch in the arsenal.
Physical: Athletic, XL 6-foot-4, 195lb frame with obvious projection left and big potential down the road.
Pitching: RHP - Started tall/relaxed off the middle of the rubber using a short side rocker into a controlled leg lift to waist height (slightly funky on its ascent to the top) working down the slope with pace into footstrike. Lengthy arm action, getting on top at H ¾ and creating a slight downward tilt into the strike zone. The FB ranged from 83-85 mph generating some arm-side run in on RHH with success for strikes (near 50% zone rate via Trackman). Mixed in a gradual 71-73 mph SL up to 1923rpms that he could land as a get me over in any count. A 74-76 mph CH was the swing/miss offering on occasion, dodging barrels with killed spin (1685rpms) and consistent fade (14+ inches HM).
