Arm Speed
The maximum speed, in the direction of home plate, that the wrist is traveling. Measured in meters per second (m/s)
Arm Slot
Angle of the forearm relative to the ground between maximum external rotation (MER) and ball release (BR). Which can be a powerful player comparison metric, delivered in degrees.
Knee Extension Velo
The angular velocity of the front knee straightening after foot plant, which provides indicators of velocity potential. Measured in degrees per second.
Deception
The amount of time that the ball is visible to the hitter, after the instant of front foot strike. Measures in milliseconds.
Hip-Shoulder Separation
The difference in angle of between the hips and shoulders, occurring close to the foot plant. Measured in degrees.

Lanky, athletic frame that projects well. Came in relief for GRB Rays Green’s final game of the weekend and did not allow a hit in his three innings of work, striking out four, walking one. A loose, whippy arm, fast arm speed. Extension down mound helped create some added perceived velocity. Fastball sat in the 69-72 mph range with some late arm-side action that seemingly jumped on batters.
