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 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/C RHS projects well physically. Athleticism present. Repeats delivery, arm works well. Does it easy on the mound. Srike thrower. FB is effective down in zone, can elevate with success. Shows feel for slider with ability to manipulate. Change developing. Watch develop.
Body: 5-9, 174-pounds. Good build/frame to add strength. Projects extremely well physically.
Delivery: Knee lift with inward turn of hip and shoudler. Loads well into back leg. Cast stride leg down the slope. lands with good direction, works over stride leg, good finish.
Arm Action: RH. Full circle with some length to backside. Good layback to arm on top. 3/4 slot with good finish out front. Does it relatively easy, look for arm speed to increase.
FB: T86, 84-85 mph. Strike thrower showing tail, tail/sink down. Can pich effectively up in zone. T2137, 2014 average rpm.
SL: 74-76 mph. Strikes, can spin baseball. Varies action/tilt. Feel for pitch. T2357, 2341 average rpm.
CH: 70-73 mph. Turnover action showing deception. Effective 3rd pitch. T2325, 2039 average rpm.
ATH: 18.90 max vertical.
Positional Profile: RHP/C Solid RHP with plenty of upside. FB sits upper 80's with low effort. Everything down has some movement. Only flattens out middle of zone. CH is a plus pitch and compliments his FB well. Probably best pitch. CB is developing and has a good spin. Opportunities to create more movement and a solid third pitch in the future.
Body: 5-9, 174-pounds. Solid, stocky build. Width to back and shoulders. Good lower half.
Delivery: Stretch. High leg lift with a turn.Works down the slope well. Can be more consistent keeping front side closed longer. Repeatable delivery.
Arm Action: RH. Full arm path. Clean and athletic. Plus arm speed ability. H3/4 slot.
FB: T89, 87-88 mph. Good velocity and will continue to climb. Flattens out up in the zone. Better movement and action down. T2333, 2162 average rpm.
SL: 77-77 mph. Has pretty good spin and rotation. Has a chance to make this a consistently good pitch with work. Action is there. T2406, 2276 average rpm.
CH: 78-78 mph. Plus pitch with arm side fade and sink. Pairs well with FB. Can throw to both LHH and RHH. T2271, 2150 average rpm.
Positional Profile: SS/RHP RHS with build to add strength. Repeats delivery, arm works well showing arm speed//quickness present. Opportunity to firm landing with delivery. Looking for FB velocity to increase, arm works now with arm speed present, increased velo will develop. Feel to spin slider, flashes avg action now. Change, quality now pitch with action/deception. Fun pitcher to watch develop in future.
Body: 5-9, 174-pounds. Good build/frame to add strength in future. Slopping shoulders with avg width to shoulders and back. Lower showing some strength now.
Delivery: High knee lift with inward turn. Loads well into back leg, 3rd base side start with slight cross step delivery, lands with open toe. Close toe off, open toe…opens lead hip early creates stress on arm/shoulder. Solid finish, repeats.
Arm Action: RH. Full circle, works well with 3/4 slot, solid finish out front and down.
FB: T89, 87-89 mph. FB will add velo in future. Arm works well showing now arm speed. Solid spin present, carry up in zone. FB has avg life now, tail/run/boring action. Strikes. T2311, 2117 average rpm.
SL: 77-79 mph. Shows solid action/spin. Good pitch when landed. T2461, 1614 average rpm.
CH: 74-74 mph. Action with deception present. Good/now pitch. T1949, 1949 average rpm.
ATH: 7.69 runner in the 60. 1.81 and 4.15 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. Moves well. Runs upright. Work on creating a forward tilt with head. Arm swing direction needs to be more up and down instead of across body. Will continue to get faster with maturity.
Positional Profile: SS/RHP RHS with build to add strength. Repeats delivery, arm works well showing arm speed//quickness present. Opportunity to firm landing with delivery.

INF/RHP Mateo Rodriguez (2028, Cornerstone Christian) is a talented freshman who displayed real arm strength and intriguing pitch metrics on Saturday. Working from a low-effort, low-slot delivery (4’5” release height), his fastball sat 80–82 mph and featured over 18 inches of induced vertical break. He also mixed in a 71–74 mph slider that flashed average, showing he can spin the ball well. As Mateo continues to mature and add strength, his velocity and secondary offerings should only improve, making him a high-ceiling arm to keep an eye on.

Hit: SH. LHH…open stance, lands in good position to hit. Rotational back foot, spins, must learn to drive back hip forward and get lower 1/2 involved in swing. Recommend trying for linear movement forward with back foot hitting into firm front side to improve use of back hip and lower 1/2. This will increase ability to impact baseball. Hands/barrel in good launch position. Scoop swing path creating length to swing and uppercut. Work to take hands barrel on direct path to hitting zone looking to get on plane creating line drive contact. Front shoulder opens early causing hands to pull off plate as well. Can see there is a quality swing there, just needs some adjustments. 56.6 mph bat speed with 9 G's of rotational acceleration.
