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.

Positional Profile: LHP Klug is a solid strike thrower that showed his ability to use all of his pitches effectively. Could work on staying through his legs and being more agressive. As he gets stronger his pitches will all become more effecient.
Body: 5-11, 173-pounds. Slim athletic build with plenty of room to put on muscle and fill out his frame.
Delivery: Slow tempo with hands set high and a good leg kick. Dips into his backside and uses his lower half well. Stays tall throughout delivery and fall offs his landing.
Arm Action: LH. Longe 3/4th slot that comes OTT.
FB: T86, 82-85 mph. FB is heavy and has arm side run. T1927, 1743 average rpm.
SL: 69-73 mph. Sharp fade and workes well down in zone, very consistent with this pitch. T1965, 1926 average rpm.
CH: 74-74 mph. Solid downward action, plays like a splitter. T893, 893 average rpm.
CUT: 83-83 mph.
SPLT: 75-75 mph.
