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.

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.
RHP Owen Novak (Lincoln-Way Central, 2026) stands at a strong, well-proportioned 6-foot-3, 185-pounds with room to add more mass, too. Novak’s fastball played in the low-80s and he paired it with a low-70s curveball, as well as a low-70s changeup, too.
Positional Profile: RHP
Body: 6-3, 185-pounds.
Delivery: Hybrid delivery, quick rock into medium leg lift, tall/fall delivery, finish out front.
Arm Action: RH. Shorter arm action, 3/4 slot.
FB: T82, 80-82 mph. Heavy sinking action at times. T2055, 1898 average rpm.
CB: 71-74 mph. Short 10/4 action with some horizontal movement. T2196, 2137 average rpm.
CH: 70-73 mph. Fade, maintains arm action. T1988, 1664 average rpm.
RHP Owen Novak (Lincoln-Way Central, 2026) was another one of the top arms at the event. . Standing at 6-foot-2, 185-pounds, Novak is an athletic and projectable right-handed pitcher. He works with a short, quick arm action and above-average three-pitch mix. His fastball flashed armside run amd ride through the zone, sitting 81-83 mph, T2212 rpm. His best offspeed pitch in this look was his change-up which showed downer action with heavy fade to the armside. He rounded out his arsenal with a slider with gradual break and feel for the zone.
Positional Profile: RHP
Body: 6-1, 184-pounds.
Delivery: Hybrid delivery, works downhill.
Arm Action: RH. Short, quick arm action, has whip to it.
FB: T83, 81-83 mph. Armside run, has ride up and through the zone. T2212, 2145 average rpm.
SL: 68-71 mph. Gradual break, has feel for the zone. T2207, 2138 average rpm.
CH: 72-74 mph. Downer action, fades heavily arm-side, best of the off-speed. T1647, 1628 average rpm.
ATH: 7.36 runner in the 60. 1.76 and 4.05 in the 10 and 30 yard splits.
