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.

1/6/2019: Brady Watts, SS/RHP, Austin HS, 2023, 5 foot 10, 135 pounds, showed athletic actions and a good arm across the diamond recoding an infield velocity of 77 mph. Bat will only get better as he continues to mature. He hits from a balanced positon, and uses a lot of movement and effort to swing. Had a max exit velo of 72 mph. On the mound Brady showed a long arm action with a max fastball velo of 72 mph. As he gets stronger and can tighten up his arm swing, his velo should jump and will also have better feel to spin the ball.
