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.
Listed at 6-foot-5, 225 pounds, Klug has an obvious ceiling. He’s added big velocity in between looks, and touched a 90 mph high twice on Sunday. The fastball jumps down a steep angle to home, making the pitch project to earn swings and misses at the top of the zone on its own. He’ll still need to continue to sharpen his offspeed mix, but regardless, this was a nice look at a rising junior to know in this class.
