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: C/RHP
Body: 5-8, 170-pounds.
Delivery: Showcased both from the wind and stretch, both starting from center of the rubber. Hands set at the chin away from frame. Quick paced delivery with lower leg lift and shorter extension down the mound. Controlled finish.
Arm Action: RH. Showed several different looks throughout. More traditional hand break into 3/4 slot release at times, and also dropped down to sidearm release with more of a cross-body fire.
FB: T75, 74-75 mph. T1645, 1505 average rpm.
CB: 61-62 mph. T1784, 1715 average rpm.
SL: 61-61 mph. T1804, 1707 average rpm.
CH: 67-67 mph. T1530, 1441 average rpm.
ATH: 1.79 and 4.33 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. 14.60 max vertical.
Positional Profile: C/RHP
Body: 5-8, 170-pounds.
Hit: RHH. Slightly open base in balanced setup. Hands quiet and stacked over rear shoulder. Quick leg lift load widens base slightly. Hands retract away from frame with arm bar created. Longer, uphill path with bend in levers at contact. Aggressive, whippy two-hand finish. 61.7 mph bat speed with 17 G's of rotational acceleration.
Arm: RH. C-72 mph. Tighter, compact arm action with 3/4 slot release.
Defense: 2.10-2.18 pop times. Wide setup in 1KD stance. Presents clear target and sticks quickly. Turns frame to set for throws down, with quicker transfer and sound C actions.
ATH: 1.79 and 4.33 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. 14.60 max vertical.
Vizual Edge: 66.71 Edge Score
