The reactive strength index measurement of an athlete's explosiveness by comparing their jump height to the ground contact time in between their jumps. On a scale of 0-5.
Vertical Jump
A measure of any athlete's body strength and reach calculated from the flight time divided by the contact time.
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.
Dillion Despian, Mira Costa (CA), 2023 Positional Profile: RHP, 6-4 185lbs. Large frame. Lean athletic build. Squared shoulders. Higher waisted. Longer limbs. Room to add.
Delivery: Side steps into a belt high knee tuck. Present drop/hinge into lower half and maintains into stride. Small head movement. Uphill shoulders that stay above hips. Firm and aggressive downhill. Larger stride. Good lead leg block at finish. Present trunk tilt. Arm Action: RH. Medium path. Slight stab-like motion in the back that works into some decent scap-retraction/horizontal-abduction. Present layback/external-rotation creates good armspeed late. Works to a H ¾ slot. FB: Average movement characteristics. 2239 rpm avg. High% strikes (78% zone). CB: Slower slurvey shape. Above avg. spin (2417 rpm avg.). More sweep than drop. Consistent slot. CH: 8-10 mph differential off FB. Higher spin CH. Kills about 5 inch of IVB. Small amount of fade. Developing secondary.
