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

+ C/INF/RHP Oliver Heckelsmiller (Verona Area, 2027) showed quality competitor traits and evident baseball acumen. The Verona Area product would show well defensively as both a catcher and infielder, with an event-best 1.99 pop time, active footwork on the dirt, with an accurate arm that generated throws up to 81 mph from across the diamond. At the plate, the right-handed bat would present an even, athletic setup with a well-sequenced swing that would generate EVs up to 90.9 mph. On the mound, the right-handed arm showed a quick, clean 3/4 release while working from an athletic rocker step delivery with a crossfire finish. The fastball would sit upper-70s-low-80s and was thrown alongside an upper-60s curveball and a changeup that would sit around 74 mph. 5-foot-10, 170-pound frame.
