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
Curveball
Hammer+
A hammer breaking ball drops vertically with velocity through the zone, or 12-to-6 movement. Hammer+ of 100 is MLB average.

Physical: Projectable 6-foot-4, 210lb with athleticism carrying over to all phases with length in the actions.
Pitching: RHP - The primary righty started off the middle of the rubber, standing tall with an imposing presence. Medium side rocker to a balanced, even position at the top of the stack before getting over the front side on time and reaching into the glove at release. Repeatable, over the top slot and pounded for strikes getting downhill on occasion. The FB entered the zone from 82-84 mph, landing at a 40% rate via Trackman Baseball with slight arm-side run. Mixed a developing 70-73 mph CB that backdoored for short-action strikes at times, giving way to a more accurate 75-76 mph SL (7 inches HM). Has added a good CH in the past, using four pitches to attack hitters on the bump.
Physical: 6’4 210lb RHP has a solid frame with natural size and strength.
Pitching: Slow methodical windup uses short movements to drive down the mound. His arm works short and OTT as he really works on the top of the ball and get downhill towards his target. All pitches work down to the bottom of the zone.
Physical: Well proportioned, broad shouldered 6-foot-4, 200-pound frame. Athleticism and easiness in the actions.
Pitching: RHP - Slow tempoed, compact delivery out of an OTT arm slot with ease out of the hand. Pounded the zone with a 79-82 T83 mph FB with natural downhill action while mixing in a sharp 68-70 mph CB showing 11/5 shape. Quality 71-73 mph CH out of the same window allowing for some deception. More velocity should be expected in the near future and the pitchability is already there, a combination that should be worthy of a following.
Demonstrated a physically advanced 6-foot-4, 200-pound frame with present strength in his actions. The primary right-handed pitcher sat 79-82 mph out of a high ¾ arm-slot with easy downhill action on the fastball utilizing controlled tempo and a high leg stack upon delivery. Mixed in a 65-68 mph curveball showing 11/5 shape and countered with a 71-73 mph changeup featuring present arm-side fade on occasion. Displayed a strong lower half allowing for solid hip direction and repeatability in his arm-action featuring a feel for two pitches in the zone with similar arm-speeds.
