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

Possessing an athletic and proportionate 5-foot-11, 160-pound frame, Nate Buchanan was electric on both sides of the ball. On the mound, Buchanan threw four innings only allowing a couple of runs. His fastball was thrown 75-79 mph and displayed natural cut thrown mostly glove side. He mostly threw his cutting fastball, but once in a while complemented it with a 70-72 mph slider. His slider had sharp break and was mostly thrown for strikes. Mechanically, he has a smaller leg lift striding in line with home plate. He has a quick arm with shorter arm action and a 3/4 arm slot. On the offensive side, Buchanan went 2-for-2 with a triple and a double, both hit to right center. He displays a wider stance with a long stride and has a smooth swing with a slight lift and the ability to reach balls thrown lower in the zone.
