Good luck to hitters trying to guess which 95 is coming. Nasty 4s/2s from @ClarkeSchmidt today. @PitcherList @PitchingNinja @AlexFast8

@TreadHQ @TBergen_ Now add in this 18+ HB CH 👀

Here’s remote athlete @TBergen_ ramping up for the season sitting 91-93. Fun fact: Travis ranks 4th in VAA among all lefty MLB pitchers in 2021 with a -4.36 vertical approach angle 🧐

From @EliasSports, about Dylan Cease, one of the best-kept secrets in baseball: Opponents’ contact rate––fair or foul–– on swings this season is only 66 percent, lowest in AL. He has allowed 3 ER or fewer in 18 starts this season, and in those outings, he has a 2.47 ERA.

Players understanding relevant statistics is massively underrated in development. A large % of players assess their season with stats like AVG/ERA. It is necessary to take ownership of what makes YOU a productive player instead of blindly chasing outdated stats

@T_Zombro24 @realkclark @TreadAthletics Tackling velocity, command, mechanics, and pitch optimization all at once is most likely counter- productive. Stick to the first 2 and sprinkle in the rest as you progress

@T_Zombro24 @realkclark @TreadAthletics If your two goals are velo and repeatability, then a natural mvmt pattern will yield higher velocities and consistency. Forcing high VB from a low slot can restrict how your body wants to move and hurt your #1 and 2 goals.

The following is the same FB, measured on both Rapsodo & Trackman. They have comparable release height, spin and velocity. Rapsodo read this pitch as a bad sinker Trackman read this pitch as an elite demon sinker Neither was a misread. Who can answer what happened?

@realkclark @T_Zombro24 @TreadAthletics Whatever you want to use your last year to do is 100% up to you! Just make sure what you spend your hard work on is aimed at your ultimate goal.

@realkclark @T_Zombro24 @TreadAthletics Pro goal? Historically, At sub 90 mph and 5’7, elite VAA won’t move the needle much. Velocity/production should be valued higher here to get your foot in the door based on your current situation.

Blessed to announce I will be furthering my academic and baseball career at Georgia Southern University! I would like to thank God and everyone that has helped me get here. #hailsouthern #643DPAthletics

To all the seniors that careers ended today, you have accomplished more than 99.9% of people in this sport and you should be proud. The game loves you and appreciates everything you’ve given it.

@justinochoi @fangraphs Would love to see your tunneling metric at play on the CU and CH in 2020 vs 2021 @CoeSoxMetrics

We're easily impressed when pitchers make dramatic changes. But up at @fangraphs, I wrote about Michael Wacha, whose refinements are minor but noteworthy nonetheless: fangraphs.com/blogs/michael-…
