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
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.

Soto brings a physical presence to the plate and showed the ability to drive the baseball with authority. He has the kind of bat that profiles well at first base, with real power potential already showing. His swing is repeatable and works well through the zone. Like his teammate Preston, Soto will be followed closely to see how his offensive game continues to translate in game settings. With a sound approach and feel for impact, he has the tools to hit at a high level.
