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
Slider
Hammer+
A hammer breaking ball drops vertically with velocity through the zone, or 12-to-6 movement. Hammer+ of 100 is MLB average.
Slider
Sweep+
A sweeping breaking ball moves horizontally with velocity through the zone. Sweep+ of 100 is MLB average.

Wisconsin-Parkside commit. In Lemont’s 8-2 win against Shepard, Klukas dominated on the mound. He threw seven innings, struck out 15, only walked one, allowed two earned runs and five hits.
LHP Ryan Klukas (Lemont, 2023) stands at an athletic 6-foot, 170-pounds and has a sneaky fastball that seems to play harder than the velocity. The southpaw ran his fastball up to 84 mph (reached upwards of 2,300 RPM), got a number of late, tardy swings and really settled in once he was able to command it for a strike later in his outing. Klukas' go-to offspeed is a late-biting breaking ball off a 2/8 plane that sat at 70-72 mph with an average of 2,317 rpm.
Positional Profile: LHP
Body: 6-0, 170-pounds. Wiry, athletic build.
Delivery: Simple operation, controlled tempo into a medium leg-lift, slight drop/drive lower-half from balance point, shoulders remain level throughout stride while working in-line with the plate. In-game stats: 3 IP, 3 BB, 2 K, 2 H, 0 R
Arm Action: LH. Long out of the glove into a high 3/4 slot.
FB: T84.3, 81-83 mph. Tilt through the zone with slight arm-side run. T2324, 2121 average rpm.
SL: 70-72 mph. Plays off a 2/8 plane, flashed sharp action. T2429, 2317 average rpm.
CH: 77-79 mph. Fades heavily to the arm-side, some feel for the zone. T2046, 1847 average rpm.
Positional Profile: LHP
Body: 6-0, 170-pounds. Wiry, athletic build.
Hits: LHH. Narrow, open setup, short stride. Short path, rotational, flat through the zone.
Power: 83 max exit velocity, averaged 62.8 MPH. 290' max distance.
Arm: LH. OF-87 mph. Flat path, creates backspin, strong hands. Swings with controlled intent, hard contact to all fields with jump off the barrel. In-game stats: 2-for-7, 2 SB, 2 RBI, 2 BB, R.
Defense: Aggressively attacks the baseball, proper routes, fields out in front, secures the ball through release
Run: 6.99 runner in the 60.
Vizual Edge: 80.33 Edge Score
Uncommitted. 5-foot-10, 165-pounds. Got the start for Lemont in their game against No. 18 Lincoln-Way East. Klukas went four innings surrendering three runs on four hits and struck out seven batters. Segmented tall-and-fall delivery with easy effort, athletic point of balance, squared shoulders and hands squared to home with an athletic finish. Short arm action, high ¾ slot. Klukas used a three pitch mix; fastball, slider and changeup. Fastball featured four-seam type action with occasional arm-side run, held 80-83 mph throughout his outing. Slider spun off a 2/8 plane with horizontal action, showed as his go-to secondary offering and held 72-73 mph. Changeup played with sink, spotted on the arm-side of the plate and sat 74-76 mph.
Positional Profile: OF/LHP
Body: 5-foot-9, 140-pounds.
Hit: LHH. Wide, balanced setup, toe tap, short stride. Level swing, long bat path, consistently used middle of the field.
Power: 84.18 max exit velocity, averaged 73.59 mph. 134’ max distance.
Arm: LH. OF - 80 mph. Long arm action, high 3/4 arm slot.
Defense: Quick exchange, plays through the ball, crowhops.
Run: 7.41 runner in the 60.
