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

5-foot-11, 180-pound right-handed hitter starts from a square stance and begins with a toe-tap stride. Displayed a short, direct swing path with a feel for the barrel and balance throughout. Registered a bat exit velocity of 91 mph and ran a 6.91 60-yard dash. Plays low to the ground defensively and showed active feet with 82 mph arm strength across the diamond. Also sat 78-80 from a 3/4 arm slot with a quick arm on the mound. Slider at 66-69 showed late, short break and changeup was thrown with solid arm speed at 66-70.
1/11/20
Athletic frame standing 5-foot-11, 180-pounds. Open athletic stance at the plate, toe tap back to stride, hands load low, and stride lands on line. Displayed bat speed and strength in the swing. Level path working gap to gap in approach with some power potential. Finishes the lower half with aggression. 89 mph exit velocity. Defensively was fairly fluid moving side to side for groundballs, more direct in his approach for groundballs right at him, and glove works out front. Short arm path and throws from a low three-quarter arm slot. Positional velocity was 73 mph. Ran a 7.59 60. Worked primarily from the stretch, closed and narrow, and pitches with intent. Drives down the mound with shoulders and hips level, lands on line, and hands break in rhythm. Short whippy arm action from a low three-quarter arm slot. Fastball sat 74-76 mph and was around the zone with some occasional arm side run to both sides of the plate. Changeup showed as best secondary pitch for Weitzel. It sat 65-66 mph and was thrown with intent and solid arm side action. Breaking ball was inconsistent 11/5 shape at 65-67 mph.
