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.

Another arm to know from this event is LHP Nathan Matoush (Hillsboro, 2025), who showed well at Creekside earlier this summer and pounded the zone over his two innings of work at this event. The strong, physically built 6-foot-2, 195-pound southpaw pitched at 84-86, touching 87 mph, with his fastball, and it played up too, working from a tighter, deceptive arm window. Matoush spun a 68-72 mph breaking ball for strikes and he turned over a firm 77-81 mph changeup, too.
Positional Profile: LHP
Body: 6-2, 195-pounds.
Delivery: Tall/fall type delivery, tight turn into hip coil, stays closed to footstrike and rotates onto a closed-toe landing.
Arm Action: LH. Some length out of draw, compact on the backside and finishes from a high 3/4 slot.
FB: T87, 84-86 mph. Deceptive look out the hand. Plays with some down angle and tilt in the lower quadrant. Strike thrower, confident and attacked hitters. T2055, 1929 average rpm.
CB: 68-71 mph. Gradual spin with depth, 1/7 shape. T1888, 1825 average rpm.
CH: 77-81 mph. Thrown with fastball arm speed and intent, showed slight arm-side action. T1716, 1626 average rpm.
