Power / Speed Score
A simple calculation that divides the athlete’s Exit Velocity Max by the athlete’s 60 Yard Dash time for the given event year. For example, 98 MPH / 7.00s = 14.00.
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 highest Edge Score within the given year. Edge Score is a comprehensive score that takes the core-six visual skills into account, providing an assessment of an athlete’s overall visual ability.
6-foot-1, 155-pound, lean, wiry right-handed pitcher got the start for Waubonsie. Despite tough results, Liyeos warrants a follow status moving forward. Clean, repeatable tall and fall delivery, lands on-line and finishes upright. Upside arm action, loose and whippy from a ¾ slot. Ability to spin the baseball at an above-average clip. Fastball worked mostly straight, sat 80-83 mph and spun between 2300-2432 rpm. Mixed in a slurvy breaking ball that works 10/4 with sweeping action, feel and has topped at 2744 rpm in the past. Upside right-handed arm to follow in the 2023 class.

RHP/SS M.J. Liyeos (Waubonsie Valley, 2023) emerged as a follow 2023 after his strong two-way performance. The 6-foot-1, 155-pound, long-levered sophomore arguably showed best on the mound where his 82-84 mph fastball played easy out of the hand while showing control of the zone out of the windup. His best offering however is a sweeping curveball that looks to be a true out-pitch, playing on an 11/5 to 10/4 plane with T2744 rpm; best curveball spin rate of the event. To round out his three-pitch mix he showed a sinking changeup at the bottom of the zone at 75-77 mph. At the plate the right-handed hitter showed wiry levers, a level path and pull-side approach.
