New starting pitcher rankings nytimes.com/athletic/71234…

@joemanis11 @PitcherList Zero Ks dunno

@PitcherList @enosarris At some point we’re going to have to give Wrobleski his credit and stop saying “he’s getting lucky” right?

Who should be highest highest-ranked rookie starting pitcher entering 2026?

#MNTwins say Joe Ryan exited today's start with right elbow soreness.

Logan Henderson is with the Brewers in DC.

@danthesoupcan Bradley

@enosarris ROS- Taj Bradley, Roupp, or Dollander? Very important that they remain in the starting rotation, as I only have 8 moves per year.

Shane McClanahan’s past 3 starts looked drastically better than his first 3. @enosarris’s pitching models paint this picture very well, both from a stuff and command perspective. His K-BB%, which also stabilizes quickly, is way up as well (3% -> 24%). Think he’s turned a corner.

@KikoKahlua snelling

@enosarris Eno, who would you rather have the rest of the season and as a potential keeper for the next 2 years in an 11team Roto league, Robby Snelling or Kade Anderson?

From Miguel Sime to Dylan Crews, I covered seven players in the Nationals’ farm system who have made meaningful changes this year, and wrote about what it could mean for their futures: nytimes.com/athletic/artic…

@PeterSzucs90 @jaysonst Crazy how that happens

@enosarris @jaysonst Wow. So many more players with closet mentality than 20 years ago

Everyone's getting save now. A new record in different players getting saves.

@costa_kiran that's part of it. Injury is a big part of it. even rising cost of stud free agent closers is part of it.

@enosarris Many mangers are sending out their “best reliever (closer) to face the heart of the order whether that be the 7/8/9th innings. Instead of blindly saving them for the ninth. Correct?

@Theone324 @Real_KyleBel23 @thepainguy I think timing issues matter, but I don't think we'll get anywhere drawing lines on still frames. I provided peer reviewed research to that effect.

@enosarris @Real_KyleBel23 @thepainguy eno still thinks its not bad

Last September, @bymichaelrosen wrote that Janson Junk varied his arm angle but maintained the shape on his four seamer. So Junk said he went to @DrivelineBB & asked @cwhite23_ to help him find his ideal arm angle. He's settled on one this year, & that's what gave him more velo.

@JonPgh that last spike is 2026

Dbacks responsible for 17 different players in 2025! Take them away and that spike is much less stark, but yeah the days of the traditional closer are fading fast

@jerrrrrrryyyyy back-to-back-to-backs going extinct, so that's part of it. back-to-backs down (and I looked it up, stuff is down a little in back-to-backs) but still a ton of them. So that's part of it, but not all of it.

@enosarris What part of it is managers not wanting relievers to go as much back to back days?

If everyone's getting them... is the save dead? Is it a coping strategy or the result of matchup play? How should young relievers get paid in this context? w/@DanHayesMLB and @extrabaggs nytimes.com/athletic/72417…

oh no

Pete Alonso’s Barrel Rate has seen the 2nd-largest YoY decline in MLB, even with a career-high Hard Hit rate. The culprit: a career-low 12.4° launch angle and just a 27.8% launch angle sweet spot rate. That suggests mechanical or approach issue, not physical decline.

84 balls in play for Landen Roupp... ZERO barrels allowed. No other SP has yet to allow a barrel with >27 BIP. Notable RPs who have yet to allow a barrel: Jose A. Ferrer, Riley O'Brien, David Bendar, Bradgley Rodriguez

Is the save dead? @enosarris took a look at how #MLB teams are handling the closer role. @extrabaggs and I talked to players, coaches. #MNTwins #SFGiants nytimes.com/athletic/72417…

@PitcherList @LanceBroz Would’ve guessed the opposite!

Tyler Glasnow has a drop slider for LHB and a cut slider for RHB, same 88/89 mph. Huh. I haven't seen that before. Maybe RHB = more cutter grip, LHB = more gyro slider grip? @LanceBroz @enosarris
