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
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 only 2028 prospect in attendance, RHP/C Anderson Kaufmann (Alton) appears to be a budding name from the Metro East in his class. Kaufmann has athleticism and present strength in a 5-foot-11, 170-pound frame that’s likely to continue to bolster his physicality as he continues to mature. On the mound, his delivery is plenty easy, touching 84 mph on his fastball, but sitting mostly 81-83 mph. He threw a tight-spinning curveball in the upper-60s and a mid-70s change-up with an average of 17 inches of run. He displayed all kinds of ease and rhythm at the plate, sending his hardest hit ball 88.4 mph and 316 feet. Behind the plate he showed bounce and flexibility, recording his lowest pop time of 2.00 while recording his hardest bullet down to second at 76 mph. Kaufmann is a sure-fire name-to-know in the 2028 class.
