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.

The reactive strength index measurement of an athlete's explosiveness by comparing their jump height to the ground contact time in between their jumps. On a scale of 0-5.
Vertical Jump
A measure of any athlete's body strength and reach calculated from the flight time divided by the contact time.
The maximum speed, in the direction of home plate, that the wrist is traveling. Measured in meters per second (m/s)
Arm Slot
Angle of the forearm relative to the ground between maximum external rotation (MER) and ball release (BR). Which can be a powerful player comparison metric, delivered in degrees.
Knee Extension Velo
The angular velocity of the front knee straightening after foot plant, which provides indicators of velocity potential. Measured in degrees per second.
Deception
The amount of time that the ball is visible to the hitter, after the instant of front foot strike. Measures in milliseconds.
Hip-Shoulder Separation
The difference in angle of between the hips and shoulders, occurring close to the foot plant. Measured in degrees.
Maher has a strong and athletic frame at 6-foot, 175-pounds. 60 yard dash time was 7.91 seconds with a top exit velocity of 88 MPH. Tall and relaxed stance with hands up high. Average leg kick. Slight movement of the hands directly backwards puts him in a locked and loaded position. Natural bat wrap. Elbow stays parallel to the ground. Strong through the zone, displayed some gap-to-gap power. Defensively, recorded a top velo of 72 MPH in the infield. Smooth footwork, works around the ball. Efficient transfer, quick arm. On the mound, starts in a modified stretch. Gradual delivery, polished mechanics. Works his hands in sync with his leg kick. Even shoulder tilt. Rides the slope. Long, easy arm action. High slot, nearly OTT. Maher;s arm slot creates some downhill action on his FB which was 78-80 MPH, touching 81 MPH. Big, sharp breaker with a plus spin rate generated plenty of swings and misses at 64-67 MPH. Straight CH at 73-74 MPH. Also showed off a cutter with some late lateral action at 72-74 MPH.
3/28/21
Pitching: Works with good pace through a balanced, fundamental delivery that repeats. Hands drops straight down out of the glove before working up through a clean 3/4 release. FB: Has advanced life (Bauer Unit-27) and arm side run (19" Horizontal ) through the zone. CB: Early break out of the hand with high spin (2625 RPM), flashes depth through the zone with up to 21" vertical drop and 15" horizontal break. Cutter: Commands with late, tight break up to 6".

Maher has a strong and physical frame at 6-foot, 175-pounds. Ran the 60 yard dash in 8.25 seconds and recorded a top exit velo of 87 MPH. Starts tall and open at the plate. Hands start by his back shoulder and move down and back during his load. Small leg kick. Pre-pitch rhythm. Powerful and rotational movements. Natural lift to his swing. Some gap-to-gap power present. Recorded a top velo of 79 MPH from the outfield. Controlled approach to the ball. Transfer near his body, following with a glove tap and shuffle. Positional velo of 76 MPH in the infield. Appropriate movements to the ball. Accurate throws to bases. On the mound, the lefty starts with his feet even towards the middle of the rubber. Consistent rhythm and tempo. Rides his back leg down the mound. Strong frontside. Even shoulder tilt while stride direction stays in line. Long, loose arm action. High 3/4 arm slot. FB had some downhill action at 75-77 MPH, touching 79 MPH. CB showed some sharp, swing and miss 1/7 action at 62-65 MPH. A cutter at 67-71 MPH was thrown in the zone with some late bite.
2/16/21
Physical: Long, lean 6-foot, 175 lb fram.
Offensively: Upright, open stance with some bend in the knees, hands start up by the ear with a bat waggle; low leg hang and stride for timing while the front shoulder turns in as the hands push straight back getting some barrel tilt; strong effort from the lower half hitting into a stiff front side, the swing path is direct to contact staying behind the ball well with a uphill 2 hand finish yielding 40% line drive / 60% fly ball rate.
Defensively: Active footwork around the bag; Glove hand is soft with seamless transfers, arm action is short with a side 3/4 release. INF: 73 MPH
