Performance Analysis

Speed & Agility

• Jorey demonstrates above-average agility with a 5-10-5 shuttle time ranking 26th out of 112 participants.
• However, straight-line speed metrics (10 yard, home to 1st, and 40 yard) are in the bottom half of participants, indicating an area for improvement.

Hitting

• Bat speed is a strength, ranking 41st out of 112 participants.
• Exit velocity (64th) and peak hand speed (48th) are areas where improvement could lead to more consistent hard contact.

Arm Strength

• Throwing velocity ranks in the middle of the pack (48th), suggesting average arm strength for this group.

Pitching

• Jorey shows strong potential as a pitcher, consistently ranking 11th across various pitch types.
• The rise ball is particularly impressive, with spin rate ranking 3rd out of 112 participants.
• Fastball and curve velocities are identical at 61mph, which is unusual and may indicate a need for greater differentiation between pitches.
• Change-up velocity (48mph) shows good separation from the fastball, which is crucial for keeping hitters off-balance.

Overall Assessment

Jorey Fry demonstrates significant potential as a right-handed pitcher with a solid foundation in multiple pitch types. Her rise ball, in particular, stands out with an excellent spin rate ranking. While her pitching skills are strong, there's room for improvement in hitting and speed metrics. Focusing on increasing exit velocity and improving straight-line speed could enhance her overall profile, especially for her secondary position as
