Pitch Scores
2023
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

Cole Johnson, Pieper (TX), 2026
Positional Profile: LHP/1B Upside to LHP. Look for velo to take a jump with added strength and maturity. FB has life. CB flashes avg action at times. Developing consistency to release will improve command/control of both FB and SL. Did not see 3rd pitch.
Body: 6-0, 180-pounds. Good frame/build to add strength. Well proportioned.
Delivery: Solid delivery, does a good job of loading into back leg. Drop and drive delivery, chest gets over front leg. Solid finish.
Arm Action: LH. Cuts off circle to backside, gets inverted to backside. LTQ slot with extension present to finish. Avg arm speed.
FB: T84, 82-84 mph. FB shows fringe avg command/control. Life present with tail/sink and sink down. T2207, 2046 average rpm.
CB: 74-77 mph. Shows developing ability to spin baseball. Inconsistent release, when landed shows depth to action. T2178, 2071 average rpm.
Positional Profile: LHP/1B Johnson is a south paw sophomore with velo numbers that are starting to be intriguing from the left side. He has a solid frame for a PO and will see his number continue to climb over the next couple of years.
Body: 5-11, 193-pounds.
Hit: LHH
Arm: LH.
