Do Weighted Baseballs Hurt Kids' Arms? 🤔 Our preprint is out! "After we adjusted for ball mass, lighter-ball trials showed higher corrected joint moments in youth pitchers, and most of that gap shrank again once we also adjusted for pitch speed." doi.org/10.51224/Sport…

Just for my #StlCards fans… I mentioned before the season started that Jordan Walker was going to be an important case study this year… Via my Instagram

Preparing the preprint of the youth weighted baseball paper for @DrivelineYouth going out this week (ideally!). Here are a few Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM) plots we're previewing - full signal analysis of motion capture data, not just averages at event times:

Check out this reverse slider from Tony Oreb!👀 Spin is very close to pure gyro but had the right grip and axis for some armside run🏃‍♂️ 81mph, 0" iVB, and 6" HB Low 3/4 slot✅ Pronate under the ball through release✅ 3:00 tilt✅ <40% efficiency✅

He is going to be a hell if a St. Louis Cardinal

Really cool tool built over on Overslot, fun to look at possibilities for Drafts and how to divvy up the bonus pool. Here's a Mock Draft I just did. Feel Free to check it out: overslotbaseball.com/my-mock-draft/

Jordan Walker can't be stopped! He's now tied with Gunnar Henderson for the MLB lead with 6 home runs: EV: 109.6 MPH LA: 26° Distance: 429 ft.

Ryan had himself another multi-hit game at the plate 🚀

A 6-foot-3, physical bodied 2Bman with tools and athleticism, Graham Mastros @RedbirdBaseball has some pop in his bat and speed on the bases. Stole 2B after singling here 👇 I'll have more on some of the top mid-major prospects for the 2026 #MLBDraft next week for @d1baseball and @PB_DraftHQ

Never a doubt. @joshoutlaw_8

I love when Jordan Walker drives the ball to the opposite field with authority. He crushes this one for a go-ahead oppo blast: EV: 104.4 MPH LA: 32° Distance: 366 ft.

Baseball's hottest pitching prospects? 1. Jurrangelo Cijntje, @CardsPlayerDev 2. Dylan Jordan, @Angels 3. Miguel Ullola, @AstrosPlayerDev 4. Tanner Franklin, @CardsPlayerDev 5. Joseph Dzierwa, @OsPlayerDev Here's why: baseballamerica.com/stories/rankin…

Báez rakes! @MatrixMidwest

Glad Masyn Winn is ok, that is scary stuff. I’m sure he’s sore, and wouldn’t be shocked if he’s out of the lineup for a few days. Thank you God for keeping him safe 🙏
