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.
Positional Profile: OF/RHP Body: 5-10, 140-pounds. Smaller frame. Lean build. Room to add. 7.95 60-yard dash. Average swift athletic testing metrics. Hits: LHH: Relaxed stance. Taller posture with bat flat and tight to ear. Sinks into a lower half with a simple forward move and smaller takeback of hands. Barrel work direct and on-plane through the zone (88% on-plane efficiency). More LDs than FBs/GBs during BP round. Good balance throughout. Average bat/hand speed for level. Arm: INF - 73 mph. OF - 70 mph. Average strength from both spots. Loose full circle in the OF. Higher arcing in the OF. 4/5 accurate on-fly/1-hop throws in the OF. Shorter action at 1B. Works quick to release. 3/5 accurate throws in INF workout. Lower misses in INF. Defense: Aggressive OF actions. Attacks fast creating good momentum into crowhop. Works low to the ground. Present glove skills at 1B. Clean exchange from both spots. Quick to release.
Delivery: Exclusive from the stretch. Uses a chest high knee lift. Minimal backleg sit. More tall/fall type. Shoulders stay above hips. Uphill shoulders create pull-down effect. Lower half works through home. Larger stride (90% of body height). Some present head movement. Present trunk tilt. Average lead-leg block. Decent fielding position at landing. Arm Action: Hand lead path out the glove. Loose circle in the back. Loads into some decent scap retraction. Average arm speed. Decent layback. Works to a normal 3/4 slot. FB: 73-75. Avg. spin/command. Lower release height. Flashed some higher-end IVB (21.4 inch max IVB). CB: 66-68. Avg. spin. Shorter breaker. 7-8 differential. Lower release height and extension on it. Avg. feel in zone.
