Pitch idea (fragile)

Built from his own fastball (96.0 mph) plus the typical shape 35 pitchers with his slot (33°) throw: a sweeper around 84.7 mph, 3.6″ rise, −15.7″ arm-side. On the same model it grades +19 against his slider, the pitch with the same job (+13 to +23 across the production and three cross-fit models), about 126 on his slider’s scale; the comps’ own sweepers grade 111 at the median, so that sits above 100% of them. That would out-grade 100% of the comps’ real pitches, more likely a result of how the pitch was built than of the pitch, so it isn’t queued.
