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
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.
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

Physical: 6-foot-1, 175 pounds; Lean, long build. 7.74 runner in the 60.
Offensively: RHH. Even setup, with feet wide spread; flat bat to start. Short take back with the hands with an up and down stride for timing. Stays behind the ball while showing an average effort from the legs. Showed a slight lift to the ball with a one-handed finish. More line drives than flyballs and groundballs with a peak exit velocity of 82 MPH via Trackman.
Defensively: Starts with a low to the ground setup; walks into ready position while active feet. Hands are out in front with a clean transfer. Moderate arm circle from a high 3/4 arm slot. INF - 73 MPH.
Pitching: Poole uses a glove side setup while using a side step. Mid chest leg drive with a slight coil away from the plate. Has a long stride landing inline with the plate. Long arm swing while without restrictions, while working through a high 3/4 slot. Spins off 1B side with finish. FB: Peak velo of 73 MPH, while sitting 70-72 MPH; life through the zone. SL: 61-64 MPH; short action.
Physical: 6-foot-1, 175LBS. 7.88SEC 60-Yard Dash.
Offensively: Wide base with bend in the knees. Knees pointed inward. Hands out in front of shoulder with barrel hovering above. Weight rocks onto the rear leg as the hands go back and up. Uses a low leg hang as the timing mechanism. Slightly downhill bat path.
Defensively: SS. Walks in as prep during the pitch. Fields ball out front while having some bend in the knees. Exchanges at the belt line. Strong arm circle that maintains slight bend in the elbow.
Pitching: RHP. Begins on the middle of the rubber and squared to the plate. Goes through a rocker step and works in to a leg lift to slightly above the waist line. Hands start at chest height and go down then up as he prepares to move down the mound. Lead leg goes out and around to foot plant. On glove break the arm goes down and back. The arm goes through the circle without restrictions.
Physical: Tall / projectable 6-foot-1, 175-pound frame with athleticism in the movements and feel for his body. 8.12 runner in the 60-yard dash. Offensively: RHH. Crouched stance with the weight shifted slightly towards a strong backside, the hands started flat over the shoulder with minor rhythm pre load. Utilized a leg lift stride allowing the barrel to play through a flat path into the hitting zone, hit into a stiff front side with an advanced feel for a strong top hand. Short time to contact and could get handsy at times after clearing the hips early to the pull-side. Used his long levers to get out towards the front of the plate at impact yielding hard line drive contact to the LCF gap, recorded a peak bat-exit velocity of 82 mph according to Trackman Baseball during his round. Defensively: The shortstop featured a medium center of gravity with long, choppy movements to the baseball on the approach, used a soft glove hand out in front of the middle of his body at the fielding window with an accurate, high ¾ arm-slot on throws across the diamond. Generated minimal downhill momentum towards the target on throws with a tall posture after fielding. INF - 68 mph Pitching: RHP - Above average pace in the delivery starting from the left side of the rubber, side rocker step into a medium leg lift with hip coil, landed balanced into a soft front side which got stiff as he got over the front side releasing through a high ¾ slot. FB ranged from 66-69 mph while mixing in a short breaking 56-57 mph CB with 11/5 shape to it. Countered with a 58-59 mph straight CH with good deception at near fastball arm speed.
