The highest Edge Score within the given year. Edge Score is a comprehensive score that takes the core-six visual skills into account, providing an assessment of an athlete’s overall visual ability.
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.
Pitching: RHP - Deeper drop step with slow tempo in the delivery. Gets down the mound with late acceleration while blocking off properly, loose full H ¾ arm slot. Mixed commanded 79-81 mph FB for strikes and short, lateral 68-70 mph breaker. Added more confident 70-71 mph SL and quality 73-75 mph CH as the go-to strikeout pitch to LHH.
Pitching: Uses a center rubber setup while using a side step. Mid chest leg drive with shoulders above the hips. Has a long stride while landing slightly closed. Long arm swing while arm wraps behind the body; high 3/4 slot. Upright with finish. FB: Peak velo of 80 MPH, while sitting 78-79 MPH; arm side run. CB: 66-68 MPH; slurve like action. CH: 71-73 MPH; fading action.

Physical: 6-foot-0, 170 pounds; Lean, projectable build. Pitching: Sets up in the middle of the rubber, drop steps and gets into a high leg lift above the waist, strides a bit closed. Moderate take back with a high 3/4 arm slot. FB: Peak velo of 80 MPH, while sitting 78-80 MPH. Located with arm side run. CB: 71-73 MPH. Short-breaking, 11-5 shape. CH: 72-75 MPH. Arm side fade.
9/10/17 5-foot-4, 125-pound right-handed hitter starts from a square stance and initiates his swing with a lift-and-replace stride. Displayed a flat barrel path with a bat exit velocity of 59 mph and ran a 9.08 60-yard dash. Showcased a soft glove and accurate 55 mph arm strength across the diamond from first base. Will need to correct flipping ball from glove to throwing hand in transition phase of field/throw process.
