Ryan Bourassa of @FirebirdsCCBL has one of the nastiest pitches on the Cape His splitter boasts some absurd numbers: - .091 BAA, 50% whiff rate - 800 avg RPM, minimum 640 - 3rd lowest spin score of any pitch in the league (high velo, low spin) @ryan_bourassa10 @GoJacksBaseball

Go Birds!

@PitchingNinja Been saying Bryce is him

Bryce Warrecker, Unfair 3 Sweeper Sequence. 😯 14 inches, 20 inches & 24 inches (yes, 2 feet) of horizontal break. 🥏

Reason 1000 to work in the Cape

@LukeMoehle @RidersBaseball @zachbigs Let's go Luke!!!

Super excited to share I've accepted a broadcast/media relations position with @RidersBaseball (Rangers AA) for the 2024 season. So blessed to be joining @zachbigs and the talented team in Frisco. Joining the Rangers organization has a nice “RING” to it! #LetsRide

@coachk21 Happy holidays Kelly! And go Birds!

Just wanted to wish all past and future Firebirds/Cardinals a great day tomorrow!!

@PhillipCebuhar Congrats Phil!

NLI has been signed. Biggest recruit in program history

Best summer ever! Go Birds baby!!

@jackjohnson25 @MiLB Hell yeah!

Not how I was hoping to have my voice debut on @MiLB Twitter. But hey, we’re here now.

@DavidSeigne If you want to come back down to earth, look no further than Joey Bart’s performance every spring vs in the reg season

I would appreciate it if the Sox lost a single spring training game because I’m starting to think they’re gonna win the AL east

@JackLoder_ @coachk21 @FirebirdsCCBL

Great to see the legend himself @coachk21 tonight at Phoenix Muni before the game. @FirebirdsCCBL lucky to have this guy at the helm each summer. 💪🏼

Rocco Peppi hit a walk off homer for the @LBDirtbags and I can’t help but feel it has something to do with walking out to Rockstar by Nickleback

Rikuu is different

Using batted ball data from savant, we can work to predict whether a ball in play will be a hit/out. Maybe cooler, we can work to predict the exact value we can expect from a batted ball, more on that later. For now, I made a bot that predicts Hit / Out. Check it out below:

As I finish up the xRV model, I wanted to work on some hitting data for fun. I’ll continue to update my code as I begin to include park factors and fine tune my xBA model. github.com/JohnnyDavis12/…

@Johnny_Davis12 🤝🤝 my pleasure! love what you’ve been doing with the account lately!

Also, shoutout to @CCBL_Analytics. He made the first xBA model I ever saw and It was pretty cool for me who hadn’t down much hitting code. 👏🏼

@MLBONFOX @JesseRogersESPN Lame

MLB unanimously voted to make the extra-inning automatic runner on second rule permanent for the 2023 season and beyond, per @JesseRogersESPN

I'm thrilled to share I've accepted a broadcast/media relations position with the @GoStripers (Braves AAA) for the 2023 season. Special thanks to @DaveLezotte for the opportunity. Excited to get started! #TakeTheBait Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a midnight train to catch.

@Johnny_Davis12 @RylanDomingues @ckessinger44 I remember looking at some of the Trackman files thinking the numbers looked a little inflated, particularly Wareham home games. The rest of the machines seemed to produce accurate numbers.

@RylanDomingues @ckessinger44 brought this up yesterday. CCBL Trackman was definitely reading high iVB. Here’s a summary of All Four Seamers:

Less than 13% of MLB pitchers have fastballs that avg 18+ inches of induced vertical break. Takeaways: 1) I promise you’re not carrying your fastball at 24 inches despite what your tracking unit says. 2) There are other ways to pitch than just having a carry FB 3) FBs suck

Year One ✅ Thankful for everyone involved with @Cardinals, @CardsPlayerDev, and @Sgf_Cardinals!
