Terrific news! All of the prospect coverage we enjoy today pretty much grew from Allan founding @BaseballAmerica in his garage 45 years ago. I've never met anyone who loves every aspect of baseball as much as Allan, and I owe my career to him. Very happy for him!

The Twins are acquiring DSL catcher Miguel Caraballo from San Francisco. I'd link to his player page but this website fucking sucks.

Sources: The Twins will trade Rule 5 draft pick Daniel Susac to the Giants.

He's a pretty standard mid-90s fastball, plus slider reliever, except that he's 6-foot-8, 300 pounds.

(un-shun) Multiple sources are telling me RJ Petit will be the first pick in the Rule 5 Draft. (re-shun)

@TOutmanSzn Maddux Bruns. My source's text autocorrected Bruns to Burns and I assumed it was Chase when it was Maddux.

This is pretty incredible: MLB is offering a FREE subscription to MLB.tv for all college students through Feb. 28. Covers the rest of the 2022 regular season, Dominican Winter League and start of spring training. And it doesn't autorenew: mlb.com/live-stream-ga…

@MarkovWalker If you want to discuss individual players and their ratings, @longenhagen is the expert! I can't speak to individual ratings as I'm not the one that sets them.

@DSzymborski I'm curious about the tool ratings for PCA on Fangraphs- how can you have a prospect in the top 50 prospects in baseball with bottom of the barrel ratings in both Hit AND Game Power? Also, how do you justify 20 Game Power when he's had .236 ISO this year?

Kevin's work is part of why I'm doing this at all, and it was my honor to work with him and show him where and how I've tried to carry this weird torch that he inadvertently passed to so many.

@enosarris Arguably overlaps with Extension, too. Bigger Extension often means longer stride down the mound, longer stride often means the pitcher is low. Think how Extension interacts with angle is more important than perceived velo.

The only way this could add information to our model is if there’s late movement that is separate from overall movement. And there’s evidence that exists! So just put in late movement as a variable if that’s the case. /fin

I get that vertical approach angle is important but I don’t have it in Stuff+ and i’m not sure I should put it in for a couple of reasons.
