my daughter casually telling me about how she outed me to my mom and then she follows it up with “oh and during nap time, I farted”

Mark Leiter Jr. to the A's. If he can find a consistent feel for the FC I could see the usage going up against LHB to take some heat off the SI. The FS and CU had great whiff rates so he can lean on his secondaries to miss barrels. I like the signing

I started making my own hitter summaries as well. They compare advanced metrics to their leagues average. I know I’m missing R/L splits but I like this layout 😂 If there’s anything else you’d like to see included let me know!

Tony Blanco Jr. go BOOM

The Dodgers luck out and Jose Rodriguez goes undrafted. His CH is money, averaging -2” IVB, resulting in a nutty 68% whiff rate in AAA. The funky delivery and injury concern may have steered teams in a different direction but I believe he would’ve been worth a pick.

Vladdy with the fastest swing he’s had all year! What a time for it

With Edwin Diaz joining the Dodgers does Roki join the rotation again?

Edwin Diaz goes to LA. He’s still as elite as they come

RJ Petit to the Rockies kicks off the Rule 5 draft. The huge, hard throwing RHP misses a lot of bats and can bolster the Colorado bullpen

Boston acquired Ryan Watson from the A's after the draft today. He has above average velo on 4/5 pitches with elite extension from a low release height which sneaks up on hitters. He rarely walks hitters so he should be able to help the Red Sox bullpen in 2026

Somebody go save Joe Ryan! Both fastballs are elite and he has plenty of breaking options to both RHB and LHB. He'll be a top of the rotation starter no matter where he pitches this upcoming season.

HG with the CG one hitter last night. When you can average 100 mph with 18” of IVB any lineup is likely to have trouble. @HunterGreene17 is a star

Shohei Ohtani made his 100th start last night and surprise… he’s a unicorn!

@BenBrutti racked up 12 whiffs on just 33 pitches over 3 perfect innings Wednesday, giving the @daytonatortugas a chance to clinch the FSL East tonight. He K’d 7, leaning on his east-west approach. His sweeper averaged -9” HB and gave RHB a ton of trouble to close out the game

Brandon Sproat will make his debut for the Mets on Sunday! He has six distinct pitch shapes that give him multiple options to get outs. The CH is a real weapon that he should rely on against platoon heavy lineups

Cole Schoenwetter’s been on a heater this month — ~15 pitches/inning with a K per frame. His SL went from -4.5 HB pre-ASB → -9.5 last outing (w/ just -1 mph), giving RHB even more trouble. The efficiency + stuff has been super impressive lately #RedsMiLB

Drew “Throw your best shit” Pestka has been one of the best Tuga relievers this past month. 21 K to just 3 BB over 12.2 IP. He’s leaned on his demon CU, burying it at the bottom of the zone and racking up whiffs. #RedsMiLB

Jose Franco has topped 100 K’s across AA & AAA this season — the 2nd time in his career. He sits ≈ 95 mph with a FF he locates well up in the zone, mixing in a SL and CH that generate whiffs. He’s had success as a starter, but could impact the Reds’ pen in 2026

Payton Tolle makes his MLB debut tonight! The big, low-slot lefty has rocketed up the Red Sox system. With elite extension and a deep mix - high ride FB + gyro SL for whiffs, a 90 mph FC for weak contact, and a CH to neutralize RHB Tolle vs Skenes is going to be a must-watch 🍿
