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.

Grip Strgth (LH)
Grip strength is a measure of a players bat control and ability to transfer power and speed during impact, measured in pounds of force generated; collected with elbow bent at 90 degrees.
Grip Strgth (RH)
Grip strength is a measure of a players bat control and ability to transfer power and speed during impact, measured in pounds of force generated; collected with elbow bent at 90 degrees.
OF Declan Kane (Providence Catholic, 2025) looks to have made some big improvements to his game since our last look in a showcase setting. Now sporting a 5-foot-11, 181-pound frame with some strength throughout, Kane chopped his 60 down nearly .20 seconds to a 7.07 in this look. The left-handed hitter’s added strength looks to have paid off throughout his round of BP as well, reaching up to 96 mph for his max EV with a max distance of 361’; working short to the ball with an uphill path and intent to elevate, working hard contact to the gaps. In the outfield, Kane is an easy mover with range to both sides and fluid footwork, pairing with steady hands and a strong arm (T85 mph OF).
Positional Profile: OF/LHP
Body: 5-11, 181-pounds. High-waisted, long-levered, with room to fill out the frame.
Hit: LHH. Balanced setup, open and works to even, medium stride, some rhythm. Short, uphill path with intent to lift the ball. Hard contact from gap-to-gap. 76.4 mph bat speed with 18 G’s of rotational acceleration.
Power: 96 max exit velocity, averaged 83.7 mph. 361’ max distance.
Arm: LH. OF - 85 mph. Loose, clean arm action with whip out front. Low 3/4 release.
Defense: Easy mover, range to both sides, clean feet.
Run: 7.07 runner in the 60.
Positional Profile: OF/LHP
Body: 6-0, 160-pounds. Lean, long lower half.
Hit: LHH. Tall setup, smooth load and toe-tap stride. Loose strong hands, long path, controlled intent and was on the barrel throughout.
Power: 89 max exit velocity, averaged 79 mph. 314’ max distance.
Arm: LH. OF - 73 mph. Loose, whippy arm, 3/4 slot. Clean and fluid with carry to throws.
Defense: Active footwork, shuffles through the baseball.
Run: 7.24 runner in the 60.
Delivery: Tall and fall delivery with a high leg lift, long stride towards the plate, lands slightly closed.
Arm Action: LH. Full arm action, over the top slot.
FB: T80, 76-79 mph. Cutting action, finds the zone. T2049, 1962 average rpm.
CB: 62-65 mph. 1/7 shape, shows some sweeping actions. T2066, 1840 average rpm.
CH: 70-71 mph. Some armside fade, maintains arm actions. T1322, 1301 average rpm.
Positional Profile: OF/LHP
Body: 6-0, 155-pounds.
Hit: LHH. Tall stance, active pre-pitch hand waggle, bat wraps, short stride. Twitchy hands and wrists, rotates well out of load, long and level path to contact, gap-to-gap approach with comfort to work the other way.
Power: 88.3 max exit velocity, averaged 76.7 mph. 280’ max distance.
Arm: LH. OF - 79 mph. Loose arm action, high 3/4 arm slot. Gangly arm that projects.
Defense: Loose, easy outfield actions. Chops feet. Directional transfer.
Run: 7.38 runner in the 60.
Left/left OF Declan Kane (Providence Catholic, 2025) provided our scouts an intriguing upside look at the plate. A high-waisted and projectable 6-foot, 155-pound frame, Kane’s barrel played with length through the hitting zone and maintained a level plane to contact. He worked gap-to-gap in a fluid rhythm and covered the other half of the plate with comfort, too.
