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.

Ethan Malek: RHP/SS, (2026) Beachwood, OH. 6-foot-1, 160-pound lanky build. (68.5 mph bat speed average). (20.1 mph hand speed average). Began in a wide stance with a quick load, then used a small leg kick. Had an uphill swing plane, quick bat speed and good extension on his finish. He barreled up a couple of balls with loud contact. Aggressive approach. Advanced in the infield, had a live arm with throws that topped out at 87 mph; showed sure hands, in control rhythmic feet, and a clean fluid exchange. Movements laterally were athletic twitchy and he fields the ball out front. Used uninterrupted slot with a loose arm action while showing consistent accuracy to the bag.
