@RobertStock6 That is part of the reason. -High velocity -Poor kinematic sequencing -Poor specific physical preparation to handle pitch type usage Recovery modalities and workload management are better than ever before…so it is less likely those

It has come to my attention that some people don’t know the actual cause of pitchers needing TJ at such an alarming rate. And I’ve come here to tell you why. Pitchers throw harder than they used to. That’s it. That’s the reason.

An important reminder that just because you’re really good at repairing people’s elbows doesn’t mean you’re really good at determining why they hurt their elbows.

@EricCross04 So you think he is a better hitting talent than Curtis Mead? Stop lol

Junior Caminero's power is so effortless to all fields. Truly a 35+ homer bat waiting to happen who can also add a solid AVG and a handful of steals. Fully expect him to join the Riley/Devers 3B tier by the end of 2024.

@RotoClegg Umm are these typos?

Ke’Bryan Hayes EVs this spring: 105.7 105.4 105.1 104.3 91 🔥

@TewksHitting @RotoClegg @Tstokey Do realize that 112 mEV is fringe (45 raw grade) among hitters worth seven or more wins offensively.....nothing to take away from the player. #HittingTwitter

@RotoClegg @Tstokey Andrew Mazzone’s exit velocities (and LA, distances) from this weekend’s college baseball series at Rockwell Family Field. 112 @ 21 = 431 ft 111.5 @ 17 = 401 ft 109 @ 26 = 435 ft 104 @ 23 = 405 ft 111 @ 36 = 476 ft 😂

Travis Bazzana’s exit velocities from this weekends college baseball series at Globe Life 112.5 110.9 110.8 108.9 108.6 107.1 105.5 102.9 85.7 🔥

#HittingTwitter @XFactorTechn InPlay% HARD (FF/FT/FC) BREAK (CV/SL/SW) SOFT (CH/SPL) B. Bichette 33/38/52% JP Crawford 44/39/33% G. Henderson 36/35/38% The distributions are diff, does higher HARD than SOFT, opposite or balanced across mean something different for timing?

#HittingTwitter Is this an endorsement for @XFactorTechn ?? 🤭 x.com/CoachPerk/stat…

@drivelinekyle @EliBenPorat @levy_cameron Instead on determining in game intention (difficult), as I have advocated for just create a “command:stuff” test everyone does as a baseline assessment. What you will find out is the gap/threshold b/t a pitch types range for best command and its range for best stuff.

My theory is that we should be building stuff models per strike zone region, rather than just a stuff model without any location context. It’s just a hunch right now, but we’ll see when I finally build one.

@JohnEcreel Don’t get me wrong, you were highlighting pitch “performance” in terms of RV and most of them were fastballs. That’s not the same thing as saying all those fastballs don’t posses traits that can be effective in the big leagues.

I wonder why none of the Major Leaguers on this list thought of this idea.

@someBKLYNguy @TreadHQ @TeddyStuka That’s his Achilles heel. Not throwing strikes

@TreadHQ @TeddyStuka Can’t throw strike. If your gonna promo the kid atleast show him throwing strikes

6'7" Righty Free Agent @TeddyStuka looking nasty sitting 96-97 with a disappearing change-up 🤮⁠ ⁠ Someone sign this giant ✍️⁠ ⁠ #TreadFam⁠

@JohnEcreel Have better command and execute pitches more consistently.

Throw less fastballs

@swingTHENhit @XenPenny We see this pretty consistently. The lead arm reacts to the trunk rotation by being pulled inward into the chest. Helping to align itself parallel to the shoulders. Good hitters can manipulate the lead arm to change their swing radius as an adjustment.

@XenPenny Again, we need to use in game to train from not cage work. Lead arm is in completely different positions because of, or lack of, prior movements.

Luis Arraez extreme inside tee, holding the finish every swing with his head down. Building a repeatable movement pattern that keeps him inside the ball. Study the best.

@swingTHENhit @XenPenny Thank you!

@XenPenny This is not an argument but I think @XFactorTechn would confer 3 swings w/relatively the same pitch location/speed 3 different LA trajectories & 2 different spray angle trajectories. Look at the loft on that 2nd swing 🤔 were any of those swings optimal timing? #HittingTwitter

I got this video from watching a Luis Arraez live video on Instagram of him training. Foam balls off the machine. Holding finish with head down EVERY swing. Not spinning or compromising the movement pattern to hit the machine. Success leaves clues.

#HittingTwitter Highly prevalent in sports “Moving the Goalposts Fallacy.”

@j_mckenney15 @LanceBroz @AriA1exander How can a guy who hasn’t thrown a pitch in the big leagues be in the first tier? Maybe he has com-probable talent but not one of the best pitchers yet IMO. Ohtani wasn’t one of the best hitters when he arrived, but one of the best talents for sure

@LanceBroz @AriA1exander So does Rodriguez. He was sent down to triple-a for a bit last season and pitched horribly in the playoffs

Best top 3 starters in baseball: 1A. Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tyler Glasnow, Bobby Miller 1B. Luis Castillo, George Kirby, Logan Gilbert 2. Corbin Burnes, Kyle Bradish and Grayson Rodriguez Discuss…

@XFactorTechn As a scout did you put any weight on hitters routines leading up the taking live ABs?

Not every drill we do actually aids in skill acquisition or performance enhancement. There are often false correlations. Example: Because I hit better on days I do 1-hr of head stands, does not mean head stands contribute to good hitting.

@RichardLovelad1 Richard is a very unique arm & glad he signed. Ur arm action creates good lag. In this sequence ur hip/shoulder differential is fine in the 1st pic. You see by pic 2 the gap is closing before foot strike, quickly. You have more! Reach out to @BauerOutage

@LanceBroz It was him and Tyler Zuber

Chatted with a non-Cubs scout last week who attended Driveline’s Pro Day and he thought Lovelady looked the best of all the arms who threw. It didn’t feel worth mentioning at the time. Now it feels a bit more relevant!

@Prospect_Tilt @EricCross04 No Will Warren!!!! 🙃
