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

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: LHP/LHP LHP with deception present. Will add some velo in future. Around zone with stuff. Like future development of pitch ability. Will be able to work both sides of plate. See as feel to pitch type in future. LHH/OF…upside to bat/power combo with adjustments. Corner OF…moves fine to baseball. Will get stronger in future.
Body: 5-9, 177-pounds. Solid build with good frame to add strength.
Delivery: Side step rocker. Does a nice job of using back leg. Short stride, chest works over front leg. Slight cross step with spinoff finish.
Arm Action: LH. Slight cutoff to circle to backside. LTQ slot with crossbody finish. Developing arm speed. Deception created with arm action.
FB: T85, 82-84 mph. FB with tail/sink action to arm side, ability to work in on RHH's with angle created by release point. T2211, 2097 average rpm.
CB: 70-72 mph. Sweepy/slurvy action, will develop ability to get in on RHH's. Gets under at times, must firm release. T2079, 2017 average rpm.
CH: 75-77 mph. Tail action to arm side, sink down, avg deception present. T1573, 1518 average rpm.
ATH: 23.30 max vertical.
Positional Profile: LHP/LHP LHP with deception present. Will add some velo in future. Around zone with stuff. Like future development of pitch ability. Will be able to work both sides of plate. See as feel to pitch type in future. LHH/OF…upside to bat/power combo with adjustments. Corner OF…moves fine to baseball. Will get stronger in future.
Body: 5-9, 177-pounds. Solid build with good frame to add strength.
Hit: LHH. Lands in good position to hit after stride. Back foot rotates with slight linear movement going away from plate, front foot rotates over to side of foot. Would like to see some linear movement added forward with back foot with understanding that foot can go away from plate with linear movement on balls away for balance. Hit into firm front leg with front foot not rotating over causing loss of balance Hands/barrel in solid launch position, length to swing with barrel dumping away. Would like to see more direct path to zone with barrel. Fair bat speed will be help by more direct path with barrel, firming lower 1/2 movements in swing. 68.6 mph bat speed with 9 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 95 max exit velocity, averaged 89.9 mph. 360' max distance. Like the bat/power with adjustments. Shows ability to find barrel, ability to impact baseball will come with changes.
Arm: LH. OF-87 mph. Arm works fine with fringe avg arm speed. Feet work well throwing baseball. Needs long toss program to increase arm speed. Avg future with improvement of arm speed.
Defense: Moves well to baseball, breaks down to field baseball well. Corner OF, lacks range to play CF at next level.
ATH: 23.30 max vertical.
