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.

RHP Daniel Giusto (Lincoln-Way East, 2023) made a statement in his first-ever PBR showcase. The athletically built 6-foot-1, 175-pound right-hander works with a fluid drop/drive lower-half down the mound before transitioning into a loose/quick arm, playing from a high ¾ slot. Giusto worked his fastball up to 86 mph, jumping out of the hand and featuring heavy arm-side life at times. He throws his curveball with fastball intent, working off a sharp 11/5 plane in the 68-71 mph range, also kept low in the zone. His third offering was a splitter in the 77-78 mph range, thrown with arm-speed and diving to the lower-quadrant of the zone.
