A hammer breaking ball drops vertically with velocity through the zone, or 12-to-6 movement. Hammer+ of 100 is MLB average.
Curveball
Sweep+

Positional Profile: LHP/OF LHH/OF…will add strength in future, opportunities for adjustments at plate, hit over power. Steady defensive player. LHP… showing feel to pitch. Around zone with stuff. Solid delivery and arm action. FB will be effective as he learns to use entire zone with pitch. CB is developing pitch, quality future. Change has deception and action, plus pitch in future. Body: 5-10, 155-pounds. Good physical build/frame to add needed strength. Delivery: High knee lift, solid post up position on back leg. 3rd base side start with cross step delivery creating some angle. Good finish to delivery. Arm Action: LH. Full circle, works well. Easy arm action. Good finish out front. Solid arm speed. FB: T79, 74-78 mph. Must work FB to 4 quadrants of zone for success. Fair spin and plane, does create angle with delivery and arm action. Around zone. Arm side tailing action present. T2010, 1748 average rpm. CB: 63-67 mph. Shows ability to spin baseball. Will develop into solid pitch T2412, 2211 average rpm. CH: 65-67 mph. Plus pitch in future. Deception present with tail/sink action. Shows feel for pitch. T2161, 1539 average rpm. ATH: 7.91 runner in the 60. 1.89 and 4.41 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. Runs hard, will improve with added strength.

Change has deception and action, plus pitch in future. Body: 5-10, 155-pounds. Good physical build/frame to add needed strength. Hit: LHH. Lands in good position to hit after knee lift stride. Inconsistent back foot, doesn't get fully rotated at all times, gets stuck. Back foot shows both rotational movement and linear movement. For me, I like the linear move he showed with the back foot and resulting use of lower 1/2 and improved rotation acceleration. Hands/barrel in good launch position. Slight push back with hands creates some length to swing, excluding minor length. Nice path to contact zone with hands/barrel. 60.9 mph bat speed with 5 G's of rotational acceleration. Power: 80 max exit velocity, averaged 69.0 mph. 266' max distance. Opportunities for adjustments, hit over power. Like the upside to hit ability. Arm: LH. INF-79 mph. OF-84 mph. OF…Arm works, throws show some carry, avg future with OF arm. Defense: OF…Moves well to baseball, nice job of breaking down/fielding while maintaining momentum. Range is question. ATH: 7.91 runner in the 60. 1.89 and 4.41 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. Runs hard, will improve with added strength.
