The athlete's fastest 60-yard dash time in the given event year. Measured in seconds (s)
7.31
Infield Velocity
The athlete's maximum throwing velocity from an infield position in the given event year. Measured in miles per hour (MPH).
82.0
Power / Speed Score
A simple calculation that divides the athlete’s Exit Velocity Max by the athlete’s 60 Yard Dash time for the given event year. For example, 98 MPH / 7.00s = 14.00.

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.
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.

Slightly open in stance with a base that is outside of shoulder width. Knees are knocked inside the toes, and toes and angled in towards the body. Hands are held at ear height in front of the chest. Presses into back leg when starting his load. Stride does not gain much ground, stays strong in his legs. Small amount of separation is created with the hands, slight rotation with the upper body. Power: max exit velocity, averaged mph. ’ max distance. Would produce harder contact if hands stayed tighter to the body and strength is added. Arm: . C - mph. INF - 82 mph. Throws from a lower slot across the body. Arm strength is good an can play from the left side. Comfortable throwing from a low slot. Defense: Takes direct angles to the ball with some give with the glove into the body. Hands are soft. Simple defensive actions. Showed some range up the middle. Run: 7.31 runner in the 60.

Kyle Jefferies, Gilbert (AZ), 2023 Positional Profile: Body: 5-foot-9, 140-pounds. Lean build, high waist. Room for physical development. Delivery: Wide base out of the windup. Starts from the left side of the rubber, has a slight turn of the hips towards 2B during leg lift. Slower tempo with good rhythm. Arm Action: RH. Throws from a high 3/4 arm slot. Arm speed is consistent with all three pitches. FB: T80.3, 78.6-80.3 mph. FB stays true and at the top of the zone. Plays well with his induced vertical break numbers at the top of the zone. T2219, 2137 average rpm. CB: 67.75-69.64 mph. CB has downward tumbling type break with some decent spin numbers. T2281, 2217 average rpm.
CH: 70.03-72.21 mph. CH is more of a straight change. Commanded it down in the zone and misses were down out of the zone. T1945, 1830 average rpm.
