Pitch Scores
2023
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

OF/RHP Samuel Martin (Lee’s Summit, 2026) came away as one of the biggest winners from this event. Built with strength and twitch at 6-foot, 170-pounds, Martin found the barrel often for loud contact throughout his round of BP. He squared his firmest ball up at 93.4 mph, sending his furthest ball an event leading 360 feet. His arm strength showed early, as Vargas was second among all outfielders in peak throwing velocity with a 81 mph high. He hopped on the mound afterwards and pitched at 84-85, T86 mph with the aptitude to spin a 68-72 mph curveball for strikes at 2300+ RPM and changeup to pair.
