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

Physical: Athletic, projectable 6-foot, 170lb frame with feel in the actions. 7.47 runner in the 60-yard dash.
Offensively: RHH - Crouched, balanced stance at shoulder width with rhythm in the hands. Utilized a controlled toe-tap stride, holding posture and initiated through a flat path into the hitting zone. Posted good rotational scores with natural sequencing from the ground up in the swing, notching a 50% line drive rate (via Trackman) during his BP round. Able to produce as a top of the order type hitter, setting the table with consistent, flush contact and a short swing that generated good bat to ball skills. Worked up to a T88 mph bat-exit velocity at his peak and recorded a 302 foot batted ball distance (doubles power) to pull.
Defensively: The third baseman tapped the glove before fielding, presenting on time out in front with a lower posture in the legs; funneled smoothly after approaching right-left, exchanging in rhythm to a H ¾ slot for a quick release across the diamond (78 mph arm, held pace).
Pitching: RHP - The righty started off the far left side of the rubber; fast paced delivery and maintained tempo down the slope, following a balanced/higher stack position. Separated well with good arm talent and released with a properly blocked off front-side at footstrike (H ¾ slot). The FB ranged from 78-80 mph with short arm-side run while landing for strikes at a 38% clip. Mixed a gradual 68-70 mph CB in any count (67% zone rate) and showed better shape on a 68-70 mph SL across the plate.
