The separator is the ANGLE: 13.7" of ride released from just 4.3–5.2 feet off the ground with 6.6–6.8' of extension — a submarine-flat approach from the left side that makes ordinary carry play like elite carry. Hitters see uphill fastballs and a changeup falling off the same shelf.
The Late-Developer Case
Two-sport (Delano hockey) · 7.12 sixty, 90.5 EV as an OF · PG barely knows him: 3 events, 85 on their gun before the jump

+4.4 mph in 29 days, and he got STRONGER on back-to-back FG outings — velo up two ticks day two, which is when @PrepBaseballMN wrote "pitcher first, M2C." A Minnesota hockey kid who splits his training year is the textbook late developer: the 17y3m body at 169 lbs hasn't had a full baseball off-season yet. Shooter put him on the Impact 75 anyway. Best PG game log: 6.0 IP / 8 K (6/27). Nationally unranked — nobody's priced the jump yet.

Movement (lefty view — arm side left)
Everything works arm-side and flat — the FB/CH pair tunnels down-and-in to RHH off the low slot, with the sweeper as the glove-side wrinkle · shapes that miss bats at 86 play louder at 90+
