@EricNiesen More childish bs. Don’t compare it to football. There needs to be relationship between the C and P. They make the adjustments from pitch to pitch. Not a coach from the side(dugout). Might as well tell your hitters whether to swing or take. Video game bs

@California_PG @olubaseball Congratulations to them! That’s awesome. Hope they understand that getting playing time as a FR is very hard. Best of luck! Nothing is given to you! You have to EARN it!

@Mike_P_Zimmer @C_R_Enn @MLB When you’re at the level that I’ve been, not you, the data means about 20% of it. These players need that mental side which NO ONE works on. I do. My clients are having a lot of success with it. There are so many meaningless data numbers that it really does mess the hitter up.

Idiots are the ones who keep knocking data just on the premise. While I agree you can get too into it… which can make you worse. The generalization of knocking data is idiotic. Thats what I feel is happening when you and other talk about nerds and all that BS. It’s a tool just like anything else. Use it correctly it can help a ton… over use it… it can be a detriment just like everything. Players need to use what’s best for them. 🤷‍♂️

I know. That is what pisses me off with these orgs now is that they throw all this data at these players and to it confuses them. What these orgs don’t have is the ex players that have been there before working/teaching the mental side. That’s mainly what I do with my clients. Even my pro guys. They think that adjustment are solely mechanical. 99% wrong. It’s mental. If you need someone to talk with your son I would love to. I played for a long time and if it wasn’t for my mental approach I wouldn’t have lasted for 10+ years in the MLB. Check out my website TheBigLeagueApproach.com.

@JMikeMLB @MLB You can't rely on it totally but giving yourself as much information as possible is wise in the data-rich, empirical environment that we live in. Some orgs value it more than others. My son has been with two orgs in the NL West who push it on their players big time.

@Chapel14Billy @MLB IMO I would take a piss on the data. I’ve used data my whole career in the MLB 20/25 years ago and there was plenty of data then. Now it’s on steroids. Too many hitters rely solely on the data. Crazy ass shit. I tell all my clients to sit FB and react.

@JMikeMLB @MLB Yup - a hitter still has a chance if he's sitting FB and gets a changeup or something with a bend in it. No shot the other way unless your reports and data are very, very reliable.

@C_R_Enn @Mike_P_Zimmer @MLB Idiots??? Who are you talking to? I’ve used data my whole career. Too much data can be detrimental which is EXACTLY what’s going on in baseball. But the most important data is the human element. How do you “quantify” that?

@JMikeMLB @C_R_Enn @DrivelineBB @MLB You didn’t stump me, I’ve just been busy. You started the conversation by coming after Driveline, which isn’t just about training to throw hard. Driveline takes a comprehensive approach to player dev, where throwing hard is a huge key. To my knowledge, driveline isn’t >

I agree that avg velocity is higher and that’s all these data @DrivelineBB people do. Teach Ps to “throw harder/faster”. But what they don’t teach at all is “How to Pitch”. Back when I played a lot more Ps KNEW how to pitch. Not just throw as hard as they could. @MLB #baseball
JJ Cooper@jjcoop36

@JMikeMLB The pitchers who get outs are the ones who throw harder. Division I ERA, Avg/OBP/SLG and K rate all show linear relationships to average fastball velocity as the story shows in extreme detail. If you disagree please tell me what my study missed. It measured actual results.

@JMikeMLB @MLB Yeah, but I thought hitting off-speed was just holding it a "tick longer" after being ready at release. ✌️

@KWBaseball Because these orgs have no idea how to develop. So they hire non baseball people who are yes men. It’s a worse product on the field. Very talented players who are getting the wrong instruction.

@JMikeMLB @MLB @MLBPA @MLBPAA The Nationals have been terrible this decade with no signs of improvement in the previous regime. Majority of the top teams in the league are doing this. Especially those that don’t spend in FA

Because you honestly have people running today’s MLB orgs that have NO IDEA of what they are doing! They say “Let’s have people that have never played the sport at the highest level direct and coach players at the highest level!” Ridiculous @MLB @MLBPA @MLBPAA
Spencer Nusbaum@spencernusbaum_

Two years ago, the Nationals had signs in their bullpen that said "I don't care how fast you threw ball four." Now, the bullpens look like this:

@frmrevaler Exactly why the overall play of today’s MLB is going down. Hitters are a lot more one dimensional than ever before. Most P’s are all max velo which is why more P’s are getting hurt. Baseball isn’t putting a better product on the field.

@JMikeMLB @C_R_Enn @DrivelineBB @MLB So why are we shitting on guys that throw harder every chance we get? We understand that it’s a different game than it was when you played, but that doesn’t mean they’re playing the game wrong

Hopefully this is a wake-up call for USA Baseball. That was the best lineup they could’ve possibly fielded and they failed. We lost at our own sport. Venezuela was outstanding. You can’t have a rent-a-manager and Aaron Judge as your captain if you truly want to win.
