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.

Positional Profile: SS/RHP LHH/INF…will add needed strength in future. Solid defensive player, probably more of 2nd baseman in future. Solid bat/power combo in future with couple of adjustment opportunities. Solid contact in game play, big believer in the future bat. Good baseball player.
Body: 5-10, 167-pounds. Solid build/frame with some width to body, plenty of room to add needed strength. Projects to have good solid build in future.
Hit: LHH. Lands in good position to hit. Rotational back foot, works fine. Would like to see development of driving back hip forward with added explosive move with rotation of back foot. Overall solid approach. Barrel/hands in good position to hit. Nice job of getting on plane with baseball. Expect bat/hand speed to continue to develop with added strength in future. Pull approach, would like to see more all field approach. 66.5 mph bat speed with 8 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 92 max exit velocity, averaged 87.3 mph. 320' max distance. Solid bat/power combo in future. Overall solid approach to hit with couple of opportunities for adjustments present.
Arm: RH. INF-84 mph. Arm works, throws have carry. Shows ability to throw from all angles.
Defense: Feet work well getting into position to field. Can improve playing thru baseball with feet. Inconsistent getting glove into sound fielding position with palm facing baseball. Fields ball deep at times. Shows range and body control. Athleticism present to make adjustments.
ATH: 7.44 runner in the 60. 1.81 and 4.15 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. Runs hard, will improve with added strength. Add little more body lean forward.
