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.

Zempel is a tall, lanky right-hander with a high ceiling to note inside this 2022 class, listed at 6-foot-6, 185 pounds. Zempel projects best on the mound, where he sat 83-85 mph from a direct over-the-top slot, and the pitch features some late arm-side action that resembles his changeup. That change was among the day’s best as it, too, showed late run that he spotted well on the corners. Zempel throws an aggressive breaking ball that also projects as he continues to refine it.
Positional Profile: RHP/1B
Body: 6-5, 180-pounds. Wiry, long-levered frame with high projectability.
Delivery: Staggered start, tall/fall type delivery, upright posture at balance point, lead leg swing to footstrike. Closed-toe landing, works in line to target, easy effort throughout.
Arm Action: RH. Short and loose arm circle, high 3/4 slot.
FB: T82, 81-82 mph. Plays with downhill action created from an elevated release angle, shoots knees for strikes.
CB: 66-69 mph. 12/6 shape, gradual action; flashed feel to spin.
CH: 68-72 mph. Near fastball arm speed, some arm-side action but primarily straight movement.
Hit: RHH. Balanced setup, quick pre-pitch bat waggle, hands bar at load, short stride to even. Minimal movement throughout, level bat path with an elevated attack angle, creates loft through contact. Max exit speed of 92.48 with a max fly ball distance of 320 feet in BP, per TrackMan.
Power: 91 mph exit velocity from the tee.
Arm: RH. INF - 73 mph. Short arm action, loose 3/4 slot.
Defense: Active defender, glove works out front at times, quick to release.
Run: 7.67 runner in the 60.
Positional Profile: SS/RHP
Body: 6-foot-5, 170-pounds.
Delivery: Tall/upright start from the center of the rubber; slow, small rock to level knee lift. Drops and drives with level shoulders, on line to target; lands square landing, toe-closed. Athletic finish, easy effort involved.
Arm Action: RH. Compact arm action; quick, long, and loose from a high 3/4 slot.
FB: T83, 80-82 mph. Downhill action with some natural run; two-seam type, heavy.
CB: 68-70 mph. 12/6 shape that flashed sharp, thrown aggressively. Inconsistent feel right now; projects well.
CH: 69-72 mph. Slight deceleration but generates effective arm-side run/fade.
Positional Profile: SS/RHP
Body: 6-foot-5, 170-pounds. High ceiling frame, long and lean with loose athletic levers.
Hit: RHH. Athletic setup, tall in the box with squared setup, smooth loading action, long stride. Loose bat speed, upside swing, path works with some length, in rhythm swing.
Power: 84 mph exit velocity from the tee.
Arm: RH. INF - 80 mph. Long, loose arm action from a high 3/4 slot; above-average arm strength.
Defense: Fluid footwork on approach, low to ground at gather despite tall size. Exchanges are consistently clean, efficient to release.
Run: 7.56 runner in the 60.
