Pitch idea (fragile)

Built from his own fastball (94.4 mph) plus the typical shape 31 pitchers with his slot (32°) throw: a sweeper around 83.1 mph, 7.7″ rise, −14.8″ arm-side. On the same model it grades +34 against his curveball, the pitch with the same job (+15 to +42 across the production and three cross-fit models), about 121 on his curveball’s scale; the comps’ own sweepers grade 108 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.
