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.
Curveball
Sweep+
A sweeping breaking ball moves horizontally with velocity through the zone. Sweep+ of 100 is MLB average.

Arm Action: R. Long arm swing works to an over-the-top slot. Average arm speed
FB: T77, 72-77 mph. 1720 rpm. Good ride through the zone. 12:30 spin tilt. Has feel for the down zone, with ability to locate to the arm side
CB: 66-69 mph. 1586 rpm. Hard, working for downer, 12/6 tilt. Threw for a strike.

08.25.18
Average frame at 5-foot-10, 160 pounds. Right handed hitter is open in his setup, remaining tall with some bat waggle. Early stride, back to even, allowing the bat to settle into a slightly vertical position at launch. Level through the zone working to stay short. Produced line drives when on the barrel. Exit velocity peaked at 74 mph off the barrel. At first base, tends to stay high in his hips on his approach. Feet can be flat at times. Clean, easy transitions to a long arm swing and high-3/4 release. Some accuracy on throws measured at 69 mph out of the hand. Ran a 8.27 sixty.
On the mound the fastball ranged 65-68with some feel for the zone. Mixed in a knuckleball at 52-54 that has some action. Seemed to lack rotation. Average leg kick and long arm swing to an over-the-top release. Early wrist turn has the ball facing the plate at his foot strike. Lands slightly across his body and square with the foot. Average extension. Good rhythm throughout.
