The highest Edge Score within the given year. Edge Score is a comprehensive score that takes the core-six visual skills into account, providing an assessment of an athlete’s overall visual ability.
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.
Jack Lafflam is one of Arizona's top arms in the 2025 class. The right hander is the definition of "projectable" with the build and delivery. His 6-foot-4 frame and pitchability is impressive. Strike throwing with 3 pitches is there, and has shown flashes of an out pitch in the SL. Lafflam topped at 88 with the FB, and with added strength the velo should see a major bump over the years. In yesterday's outing, Lafflam got through 5 hitters at en efficient rate, and ran into some trouble with 2 outs in his 2nd inning. We will see him back at work on Saturday vs Team Canada.
6/21/22
Lanky build at 6-foot-5, 165-pounds. Clean arm action with some whip through a tall ¾’s delivery. Encouraging notes here are in the arm speed and hip/shoulder separation. Clearly a polished arm with a good feel for the strike zone with all three pitches (Slider, change-up). Fastball spin is very solid (2000-2300), but the slider spin is most exciting, averaging 2400+ spin and getting up to 2500. The slider has significant movement both laterally and vertically. The change-up is a good speed difference with good spin and movement. When the mass catches up to the frame, this arm will have a high ceiling.
Game Results: 10 batters, 7 K, 1 H, 1 BB
