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

Tennessee commit. 6’1” 197lb solid, sturdy frame. Fairly over the top arm slot. Showed the athleticism on the mound. Bethea came out firing in his start this weekend and competed throughout the night, relying heavily on a two-pitch mix. The fastball sat 86-88 and topped at 89. Created good carry to the top of the zone and induced a lot of swings underneath. The slider sat 77-79 (~2400 rpm). Produced sharp two-plane break and showed good feel to manipulate the shape in different counts. Showed good feel and control of the game on the mound and advanced pitchability.
