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: 5-11, 182 pounds; Muscular, proportional build.
Pitching: Uses a glove side setup while using a side step. Mid chest leg drive with a slight lean over the belt. Has a moderate stride landing inline with the plate. Long arm swing while wrist hooks behind back; low 3/4 slot. Spins off 1B side with finish. FB: Peak velo of 89 MPH, while sitting 85-88 MPH; life through the zone. CB: 76-77 MPH; late action. SL: 75-77 MPH; 2-tier break. fading action.
Physical: 5-foot-11, 182 pounds; Athletic, proportional build.
Pitching: Uses a glove side setup while using an angled drop 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; standard 3/4 slot. Spins off 1B side with finish. FB: Peak velo of 87 MPH, while sitting 85-87 MPH; life through the zone. CB: 72-74 MPH; slurve like action. SL: 78 MPH; lateral action. CH: 75-76 MPH; runs. Plus velo and nothing is straight, high IVB/life on the fastball. Above average movement, particularly laterally, on all off-speeds.
Physical: Durable, compact 5-foot-10, 170lb frame with repeatable actions.
Pitching: RHP - Worked quickly from the stretch only, fast cross body leg lift and move forward, got the arm up on time and through 75-79, T80 mph FB to both sides (arm side run). Mixed hard sweeper at 63-65 mph with some frisbee to it, useful 69-71 mph CH out of the same window. Deceptive at times.
Physical: 5-foot-9, 170 pounds; Lean, broad shouldered build.
Pitching: Uses a glove side setup while using a side step. Mid chest leg drive with shoulders above the hips. Has a moderate stride landing inline with the plate. Long arm swing while showing effortless and fluid actions; high 3/4 slot. Square to the plate with finish. FB: Peak velo of 83 MPH, while sitting 80-82 MPH; straight action. CB: 65-67 MPH; showed depth. CH: 68-69 MPH; runs.
Physical: Lengthy 5-foot-7, 140-pound frame with room to add strength as he matures. 8.47 runner in the 60-yard dash.
Offensively: RHH - Tall, open stance with the barrel pointed up and down in the setup. Utilized a quick lift and replace stride with increased repeatability in order to initiate the hands through a fluid, slightly uphill path into the hitting zone. Demonstrated a mostly lofty approach consistently driving fly ball (75% fly ball rate) to the pull-side during batting practice. Hit into a stiff front side with occasional extra rotation across the ball towards the foul line; recorded a peak bat-exit velocity of 80 mph per Trackman Baseball with room for more down the road.
Defensively: The outfielder featured average footwork with a moderately soft glove hand at the fielding window. Fielded off of his left foot with choppy actions at times and showed no issues in the transfer phase getting to a fluid, high ¾ slot on the release (77 mph OF arm).
Pitching: RHP - The righty started from the left side of the rubber with a slight bent setup in the knees; worked quickly with a fast pace in the delivery showing hip coil at the top of the stack as the arm raced down the mound. The FB ranged from 73-74 T76 with arm-side run (14 inches HM) and worked off of it well dropping in a 60 mph curveball with up to 13.2 inches of HM across the plate. A 62 mph CH was thrown with average intent and could be a quality pitch if sold better.
