Weather update for the @FiveToolAZ ACCAC Soph. All-Star Game. Friday night has been postponed to Sunday. Weekend schedule: D1 ASG (GCU): Saturday, 9/27 2:00 PM BP 5:00 PM Game D2 ASG (GCU): Sunday, 9/28 10:00 AM: BP 12:00 PM: Game

Thursday September 25 at Phoenix College "Pug" Marich Baseball Field. Pre-game starts at 3:30pm. 1st pitch at 6pm.

Stopped by to visit Casteel Girls flag sisters class of 2029 Payton and class of 2028 WR/ Safety Michaela Schneider at their Ape athletics @apeathletes session today. We see you ladies! #girlswhoplay🏈💙💛🐴 Trust the Process @CUSDAthletics @CasteelAthletic @BJMedia1

Gabe Schneider enters the game with 2 outs and the bases loaded...and ends the threat with flyout to Cole Watterson in center STRETCH TIME | 7-3 Cougs #GoCougs | @gabeschn32

@nut_history One of the best games ever made. Love it so much we made an RBI Baseball inspired Arcade1up machine

Anyone else miss RBI Baseball?

Thursday Sept 26, 3:30pm. ACCAC DII baseball recruitable sophomores at Phoenix College. Schedule on the 2nd image. @accac_sports @pcaz_baseball

@JonPgh Why not add in HBP while you're doing it?

WHIP is an old stat. It's fine for what it is, but there are flaws. The biggest issue is that it penalizes singles the same as it penalizes homers. So I made WALKS PLUS TOTAL BASES PER INNING PITCHED (WTBIP) This multiples doubles by two, triples by three, and homers by four - like SLG does for hitters. Leaders:

Our 𝙉𝙀𝙒 𝘾𝙊𝙐𝙂𝙎 𝘼𝙍𝙀 𝙃𝙀𝙍𝙀! Welcome to Pullman! #GoCougs

@SauceGodSam Congrats Sammy!

Just got accepted into Grad School at NAU. God is GOOD

@TJPruett2310 I don't think there's anything wrong with that cue as long as what it actually means is mutually defined by the coach and player. The video you attached is not an example of flying open. He was lined up and getting Z-axis through release. He rotated left after the ball was gone.

It’s surprising how “don’t fly open” is still an extremely popular cue in pitching. Even college pitchers will tell me, “no I haven’t tried throwing hard because I’m afraid of flying open.” Is velocity everything? Of course not. Flying open isn’t the devil either.

@PitchingCoachU I would say coaches talking about those things instead of allowing the player some headspace to focus on competing in the moment.

5 reasons you walk too many batters: 1. Easy bullpens 1. Internal focus 2. Negative self-talk 4. Poor pitch selection 5. Inability to focus 1 pitch at a time What else would you add?

Got the start with @CHSColtBaseball against a very good Hamilton team! | Great to be back. 1IP: 2K 0BB 0H 0R. | @NathanChoate22 @Joe7Perez @coach_brando @ehutt33 @qhawksworth5 @austin_ames7

@BaseballRadar I'm guessing both calculations are off by 1 row. If you drag a formula it can auto change the parameters. Use $ next to the column or row you want to remain constant as you drag.

Am I missing something? Simply calculating the sum of earned runs for a team. This is 2023 Georgia Tech. The left column is baseball reference, the right is stats.NCAA. The totals at the bottom are not totaling. I gotta be missing something...

@BDel_Chiaro Nice work Deli! You're a great leader and your staff does a great job.

Grateful for our incredible coaching staff whose dedication to player development has made this possible. Your hard work and commitment are truly appreciated . We are pleased but not satisfied. 🙌📈 #TeamWork #Gratitude #brewers #thisismycrew

@setprosports SmarterEveryDay is a great follow. If you like him, I recommend Veritasium also.

How do you change ingrained movement patterns? Searching the Internet using " sports unlearning ingrained movement pattern" I found this video very interesting. youtube.com/watch?v=MFzDaB…

@setprosports Those torques are a byproduct of precursor events correct? How much manipulation of those are actually in the throwers control while in the moment?

One of the really interesting throwing physics phenomena is "intersegmental torque" specifically of the shoulder-arm-wrist-hand complex. It is the interplay of momentum transfer between segments that creates high velocity.

@nickstrong I was drafted out of an HBCU. That school, my teammates, and that coaching staff helped me fall in love with the game again. Wouldn't trade my time at Norfolk State for anything.

Give this kid some advice Coach I was offered a scholarship to go play at a HBCU. My HS/Select Coaches told me that you can't go pro from there. But on the visit, they showed me Players that played in MLB. Why would he tell me that? He wants me to go to a school in Iowa.

@ArmCarecom I don't mind taking our conversation offline if you'd like. I do have some questions for you. And, this character limit is tough to stay within.

@ArmCarecom I have quite a bit of experience at the same levels as you and muscle fatigue and imbalances definitely lead to flawed mechanics. If your point is to fix the root flaw, then I agree. The external cue of "fix your mechanic" is not beneficial. But, the goal of health still remains.

Change my Mind: Pitching Mechanics Don't Cause Arm Injuries While it's a common belief that pitching mechanics are directly linked to arm injuries, current research suggests otherwise. Although optimizing mechanics can certainly improve performance (increased velocity & command), there isn't substantial evidence that poor mechanics cause injuries. History has shown us pitchers with textbook mechanics who have succumbed to injuries, as well as those with unconventional techniques who thrived. At the highest levels of baseball, we often find that the differentiators for health and performance are arm strength, muscular balance, and recovery capacity. The injury data points to fatigue, muscular imbalances, and weakness as the primary causes - all indicators that strength matters most. Fatigue is the strongest risk predictor for injuries by far because it causes compensation, a change in mechanics. This is different from poor or optimal mechanics as there is no way to define what poor or optimal means. The definition of poor mechanics is currently not qualified in sports science research as it relates to career longevity. How would you define optimal mechanics? Many would argue Shohei Ohtani is the best player ever with the best hitting and pitching mechanics ever seen but he’s had 2 TJ’s and missed a ton of time. Do you consider him to have poor mechanics? In the media, he referenced arm fatigue throughout the entire year. He’s also a starter. There’s a high likelihood that fatigue wasn’t quantified and his motion changed overloading torque on his weak arm. So how do we combat fatigue? Players need to focus on arm strength, muscular balance and monitor fatigue. Then use this info to make adjustments to throwing workloads & guide arm care training. This will reduce injury risks significantly. Our question for the baseball industry is, “if the throwing arm has optimal strength, fatigue-resistant and no muscular imbalances, the athlete also has no pain and is performing well -would you alter his mechanics?” How do we know if our idea of “poor mechanics” whatever that is and changing an athletes’ motor preferences is not the real reason for injuries… increasing throwing arm fatigue by increasing effort of muscles that are unaccustomed to the athlete? Long held injury beliefs about the inverted W have not been shown to prove true. Any arm action is at an equal risk. A change in trunk position and trunk speed has been an injury factor, but the change in typical trunk motion comes from lower ground reaction force production from lower body fatigue and also slower arm speed which arises from rotator cuff and elbow extension speed. This momentum shift has been shown to fatigue the arm further. Fatigue causes Weakness. Weakness causes Compensation. Movement Compensations coupled with weakened dynamic stabilizers are a recipe for disaster. #PitchingMechanics #ArmCare #InjuryPrevention
