Greyson Chappel (@Mules_Baseball) with 3 shutout out innings striking out 5. Ultra physical on the hill working with great pace. FB was 93-96 elevating it well to generate whiffs. Showed a nasty SPL at 82-84 to LHH. Flashed a tight SL in the mid 80s. #HoustonInvite



Jeff Passan on ESPN: “Fans don’t feel like they have an opportunity going into the season. And some players, too.”

Harry Blum (Augustana Grad) opened his first plyo velo @dst_arizona with a 96 mph grey ball (100g). At 6’7”, he’s got the levers and the frame to keep adding horsepower. He’s still relatively undertrained for his age — most of his career was D3 ball in cold Minnesota — so the plan is to soak up a heavy plyo-stimulus phase before we get too granular. He’s already been 94 in pens, so we’ll run this plyo velo block, then move into a leather-ball conversion phase with the goal of showing 96+ on the mound by February. With the confidence of being over the plate, plus a sharper breaking ball and a good split-change, the expectation is his command stays steady while the walk rate actually drops as he starts slamming the zone with better shapes and more velocity.

So… here’s 101.7 mph from 16-year-old Cole Kuhn. 6-6, 197 pounds. The pride of Elkins Park, Pennsylvania. A Duke commit. 2027 eligible. Was ranked No. 33 in the class in early December at @OverSlot_…. Too low. Won’t turn 18 until AFTER the 2027 Draft. 😰
