Arm Slot
Angle of the forearm relative to the ground between maximum external rotation (MER) and ball release (BR). Which can be a powerful player comparison metric, delivered in degrees.
Knee Extension Velo
The angular velocity of the front knee straightening after foot plant, which provides indicators of velocity potential. Measured in degrees per second.
Deception
The amount of time that the ball is visible to the hitter, after the instant of front foot strike. Measures in milliseconds.
Hip-Shoulder Separation
The difference in angle of between the hips and shoulders, occurring close to the foot plant. Measured in degrees.
Snead generated a ton of pre-event buzz, as he’d been rumored to have taken some huge strides developmentally over the offseason. He’s a quick-twitch athlete and it showed right away, running one of the fastest 60s of the day at 6.77, and hit 98 mph four straight times from the outfield. His bat works too, with loose wiry levers working a balanced gap-to-gap round of BP, with above-average bat speed. On the mound, the wiry 6-foot-2, 180-pound righty sat exclusively 91-92 mph, reaching a 93 mph at the end of his ‘pen.
Snead attended All-State Games in late June of 2020 where he reached an 83 mph high, so this 10 mph climb is substantial, and arguably was the biggest takeaway of the day. Snead generates live arm speed from a high slot and release that jumps down a steep plane to home, exploding through the strike zone with late run. His breaking ball is aggressive and improving, and his changeup projects well as he fine-tunes it to better match his natural arm speed. Regardless, this was an exciting look at one of the state’s rising juniors, who’s still uncommitted.
