Fastball
Hop+
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
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.

6-foot, 185-pound left-handed pitcher and right-handed hitting first baseman. Showed very well at the event. He ran a 7.3 sixty at the event. The setup at the plate was wide in base with a low hand setup. The swing is flat and he showed good life with the hands. The exit velocity was 96 mph. At first base, he displayed a throwing velo of 84 mph. The glove is solid and reliable. He moves very well for a first baseman. On the mound, the fastball sat 84-85 mph with minimal arm side action to it. The spin pitch is big in shape, sitting 67-68 mph. The delivery is solid in tempo and the arm is slightly above 3/4. The tracking of the front shoulder needs to stay online for him to produce better command of the ball. Good prospect in both spots.
Ryan Lavender: 1B/LHP, (2026) Berlin, CT. 6-foot, 185-pound athletic strong build. Above average in the box, the right-handed hitter had a max exit velocity of 88 mph. (59.7 mph bat speed average). (18.4 mph hand speed average). Started in a wide balanced stance with a controlled load, then used a toe tap stride. Has a short upward swing plane, quick bat speed and high finish. He found multiple barrels with tons of loud contact. Gap to gap approach. Above average in the infield, displayed a velocity of 78 mph; has next level hands, a twitchy exchange, and athletic feet. Laterally, movements were athletic and fielded the ball out front. Consistent accuracy to the bag, used a high ¾ slot with a short arm action. During the event, ran the 60-yard dash in 7.53. Above average projectable on the mound, showed a ¾ arm angle and a short loose arm action with quick arm speed. Tall-and-fall up-tempo type pitcher who uses easy effort. Tall balance point with even in line shoulders. Lands square with an athletic balanced finish. Produced a fastball that came in at 81-83 mph; had sinking action and arm side control with heavy movement. (Max spin 2298; Avg 2024). His changeup (76-77) has arm side command and fading swing and miss action. Had hard late action and glove side down in the zone control on his 11/5 slider (68-70). (Max spin 2084; Avg 2037). Chance to be a top level arm.
