Pitch Scores
2022
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.

Physical: Durable starter’s build at 6-foot-2, 195lbs; mound presence available.
Pitching: RHP. Begins from the left tip of the mound; slow, continuous pace that showed crossfire at foot strike and quick H ¾ slot at release. Attacked with an 81-84 mph FB to both sides, gaining awkward swings at near 2400rpms. Added quality low-70’s CB for whiffs and sweeping 70-72 mph SL on a more lateral tilt. Three pitches in the zone often.
Physical: 6-foot-2, 190 pounds; Full, broad shouldered build.
Pitching: Uses a glove side setup while using a side step. Belt high leg drive with a slight coil away from the plate. Has a moderate stride while landing slightly closed. Long arm swing while arm stays in line with 2B; high/over the top slot. Square to the plate with finish. FB: Peak velo of 86 MPH, while sitting 85-86 MPH; life through the zone. CB: MPH;SL: 72-74 MPH; short action. CH: 69-70 MPH; fading action.
Physical: Proportional, athletic 6-foot-2, 190lb frame with some strength found. 7.78 runner in the 60-yard dash.
Offensively: RHH - Taller, even stance with the hands starting at the shoulder at a 45. Utilized a stretched, leg-hang stride, landing at a wide attack to initiate the bat head through a flat path into the hitting zone. Maintained a sturdy, stiff front-side at impact, able to get to extension for a heavy fly ball barrage during batting practice (88% fly ball rate via Trackman). Worked up to a near 290 foot batted ball distance for moderate doubles power on occasion and could spray flush barrels from gap to gap. Recorded a T83 mph bat-exit velocity at his peak.
Defensively: The third baseman was up-tempo early, bouncing with pre-pitch rhythm and then chopping the feet before he arrived at the window. Showed off adequate posture with a soft glove hand corralling out in front; released from a H ¾ slot at 75 mph, accurately to the target.
Pitching: RHP - Started off the left side of the rubber with slower pace, finding a balanced stack position before getting compact on an explosive move down the slope. Held direction into footstrike, releasing with some intent at H ¾ slot. The FB ranged from 81-83 mph with the front-side blocking off properly, mixing a sweeping 68-70 mph CB across the plate. Later added a straight 68-70 mph CH with great command (100% zone rate).
