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
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.

Positional Profile: 1B/RHP Body mechanics are very similar to matt harvey. Easy mechanics with fluid leg lift gaining ground to home upon lift. Can get reachy with his glove hand to home but has solid hand turnover and levers his shoulder well, as he will throw consistant strikes with his offerings. Opens his hips up well, but could probably gain some additional velo by staying closed longer upon seperation. Slows down arm speed on breaking ball and advanced hitters will pick that tendacy up. Late break however on pitch
Body: 6-0, 175-pounds. Athletic build, room to grow
Delivery: He works with a knee to stomach leg kick that with more time could create some serious power. With a runner on he is slower to the plate which could make it easier for the run game.
Arm Action: R. Hargrove works from an over the top arm slot that helps create downhill tilt. He has a smooth arm action.
FB: T82, 80-81 mph. FB has slight armside run to it, will play best low in the zone and creating weak contact. Can locate to both sides of the plate and moving around the zone will make him very effective T2031, 1964 average rpm.
CB: 67-70 mph. CB has good shape, will play best as a way to keep bitters off the FB. He can steal strikes with it and expand the zone with two strikes to get a potential swing and miss T2057, 2031 average rpm.
ATH: 7.63 runner in the 60. 1.81 and 4.18 10 and 30 yard splits.

Late break however on pitch
Body: 6-0, 175-pounds. Athletic build, room to grow
Hit: S. LH: Slightly open wide base, toe tap; Hands on his back shoulder RH: Wide athletic base, hands back; Small stride LH: Flat swing, gap to gap power; Can get extended out front. Gets his barrel through the zone well RH: Uphill swing, spins off causing his barrel to exit the zone early 68.1 mph bat speed with 13 G’s of rotational acceleration.
Power: 87 max exit velocity, averaged 87 mph. 286' max distance. Contact to all fields
Arm: R. INF-72 mph. Long action, 3/4 armslot; accurate throws right at the bag. Slight armside run to his ball
Defense: Slow with glove, good footwork, not afraid to put his body in front of the ball and keep it in front; soft hands
ATH: 7.63 runner in the 60. 1.81 and 4.18 in the 10 and 30 yard splits.
Vizual Edge: 52.61 Edge Score
Positional Profile: C/RHP
Body: 6-1, 180-pounds. Long frame w/ good projection and some present strength. Room to add mass.
Delivery: Stock delivery into high leg lift w/ controlled tempo. Drop n drive lower half. Slightly open landing before spinning off to 1B side.
Arm Action: RH. Long, stab out arm action working up to H 3/4 slot w/ good arm strength.
FB: T86, 84-86 mph. Jumps out the hand w/ good spin. Feel to glove side and around the zone. T2301, 2142 average rpm.
CB: 72-74 mph. Tight mini hammer w/ some late bite. Land for strike or expand for chase. Above average pitch w/ more upside. T2472, 2408 average rpm.
CH: 75-78 mph. Mostly straigh w/ occasional fade. Developing pitch. T1851, 1642 average rpm.
CUT: 77-79 mph. Fair cut action w/ some upside.
Positional Profile: C/RHP
Body: 6-1, 180-pounds. Long frame w/ good projection and some present strength. Room to add mass.
Hits: SH. Wide, slightly open stance from both sides w/ toe tap stride and simple hand load. Similar approach from both sides, more natural/pop from right side. Generates above average bat speed w/ uphill plane into two handed finish. Stays inside the ball w/ efficient path. More gap-to-gap approach from left side and pull-heavy from left side. Pop upside from right side, more contact oriented from left side.
Power: 92 max exit velocity, averaged 80.3 MPH. 321' max distance.
Arm: RH. C-77 mph. Mid-length arm action into 3/4 slot w/ good arm strength.
Defense: 2.11-2.22 pop times. Fair footwork and slower transfer, but makes up for it with arm strength and accuracy. Solid receiver w/ average hands.
Run: 7.63 runner in the 60.
