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.

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.
Positional Profile: 3B/RHP
Body: 6-1, 188-pounds.
Delivery: Controlled delivery, medium leg kick into balance point, drop/drive lower-half.
Arm Action: RH. Short arm action, 3/4 release.
FB: T81, 78-81 mph. Plays mostly straight. T1961, 1819 average rpm.
CB: 70-72 mph. Late, sharp break, 11/5 shape. T2039, 1845 average rpm.
CH: 66-71 mph. Diving action, kills spin. T1450, 1225 average rpm.
Recently making his debut in the Illinois 2026 rankings this past December, INF Jacob Conover (Wheaton Warrenville South, 2026) continued to look the part as an upside left-handed hitting sophomore within the state. He creates some whip through the zone with an average bat-speed of 69 mph, peaking at 77.9 mph, working mostly flat through the zone with direct hands to the ball, reaching up to 93 mph for his max EV. On the infield, Conover has athletic actions with a confident glove to pair.
Positional Profile: 3B/RHP
Body: 6-1, 190-pounds. Durable frame, some strength throughout and in the lower-half.
Hit: LHH. Upright setup, rhythmic hand load, short stride gains ground, strong lower half. Flat path, on the barrel up the middle with line-drives, uses levers well to elevate the ball. 69 mph bat speed with 8 G’s of rotational acceleration.
Power: 93 max exit velocity, averaged 83.3 mph. 315’ max distance.
Arm: RH. INF - 78 mph. Stays compact out of the glove, low 3/4 slot.
Defense: Athletic body movements, glove plays, sure-handed with confident hands
Run: 7.76 runner in the 60.
Positional Profile: 3B/RHP
Body: 6-1, 190-pounds. Durable frame, some strength throughout and in the lower-half.
Delivery: Balanced leg lift, tall and fall, works in-line, balanced finish.
Arm Action: RH. Some looseness, whippy out front, 3/4 slot.
FB: T82, 80-81 mph. Mostly straight. T1900, 1735 average rpm.
CB: 69-73 mph. Flashed sweeping action, developing feel. T2322, 2193 average rpm.
CH: 71-72 mph. Slight deceleration, fade and depth. T1006, 999 average rpm.
SPLT: 72-74 mph. Kills spin, some arm-side run with drop.
RHP/UTIL Jacob Conover (Wheaton Warrenville South, 2026) was another prospect who caught our eye from the Cangelosi North squad. Conover started on the mound and hit in the middle of the order. He has a clean, easy, polished delivery on the mound and ran his fastball into the low-80s. He also impressed with his fluid, left-handed swing that creates leverage to the pull-side with easy jump off the barrel. Name to know in the 2026 class.
Positional Profile: SS/RHP
Body: 6-0, 165-pounds. Lean, well proportioned frame, room to add on.
Hit: LHH. Wide, balanced setup, long stride. Fluid swing, stays on-plane, middle of the field approach, on time and on the barrel.
Power: 87 max exit velocity, averaged 79.7 mph. 317’ max distance.
Arm: RH. INF - 74 mph. Arm works with short action from a 3/4 release point.
Defense: Reliable footwork, moves well laterally and plays through the baseball. Sure handed with the glove, clean exchange.
