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

Ethan Malafa: RHP/1B, (2022) Mariemont, OH. 6-foot-6, 205-pound physical frame. At the plate, Malafa's best exit velocity was 86 mph. Starts in a balanced stance with a quick load, then uses a controlled stride. Bat speed is average and displays an an inside-out swing plane. Solid from the outfield, he made throws to the infield at velocities up to 83 mph; showed sure hands, average feet, and a clean exchange. Movements laterally were average and he fields the ball one hand. On the mound, had a quick arm action and a high ¾ arm angle with above average arm speed. Slow-tempo type pitcher who uses some effort. Has a tall balance point. Threw his fastball 81-83 mph; shows arm side control and running action. Has gradual action on his 11/5 curveball (66-69). His changeup (74-77) shows fading action and arm side control.
