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

Grip Strgth (LH)
Grip strength is a measure of a players bat control and ability to transfer power and speed during impact, measured in pounds of force generated; collected with elbow bent at 90 degrees.
Grip Strgth (RH)
Grip strength is a measure of a players bat control and ability to transfer power and speed during impact, measured in pounds of force generated; collected with elbow bent at 90 degrees.
Positional Profile: RHP Solid, athletic frame with good width through the shoulders and back and strength present in the middle and lower half. Projects well to continue adding strength. On the mound, works from a side rock step into a high knee lift with an inward turn. Moves down the slope with good rhythm and tempo. Continued development in front side direction will help improve overall command and consistency. Arm action is full with some length in the back from a high three quarter slot, showing developing arm speed. Fastball shows late life with the ability to work different shapes and should continue to firm. Breaking ball shows solid spin and shape with developing depth, while the changeup shows feel with sink and fade. Overall shows a three pitch mix with a strong foundation and upside as strength and execution continue to improve.
Body: 6-0, 184-pounds. Solid build/frame to add strength in future. Width to shoulders and back. Good mid/lower. Projects well physically.
Delivery: Side rock step with high knee lift and inward turn. Good rhythm working down slope. Can create better direction with front side working down line to target more.
Arm Action: RH. Full arm path with some length in the back. H3/4 slot with some arm speed present.
FB: T86, 83-85 mph. Some late life to FB. Shows tilt when down and some sink/tail. T2062, 1975 average rpm.
CB: 68-71 mph. Solid shape and spin. Shows some sweep action. Will add more depth in future. T2180, 2114 average rpm.
CH: 74-78 mph. Solid speed differential with some sink/fade. T1647, 1555 average rpm.
ATH: 19.80 max vertical.
