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 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.
I like the upside that '27 RHP Jayden Kieler (Leo) showed during his bullpen session. A big-bodied, 6-foot-3, 205 pounder that will mature into more strength to improve his overall body composition - Kieler was up to 82 mph on the fastball with plenty left in the tank. The arm works clean with a more compact circle to a 3/4 release point, and he was able to get in the zone with all three of his offerings. Kieler showed a slurvey breaking ball at 72-74 mph, but I liked his fading, 75-77 mph changeup as his best off-speed pitch. The front leg swings open at landing causing a bit of inconsistency, however this is a small mechanical adjustment that is easily fixable and should clean up his overall command and improve his velocity. Kieler shows shades of a younger Jack Grunkemeyer, a current SR signed to Northwestern University, and established himself as a '27 follow after his performance this weekend.
