2x witness of puke on a NBA court.
Fisher is one of the more intriguing late round picks. Lefty with a big spinny curveball, good command of a runny sinker from a low release, and a change that could use a little more depth to it. Uniquely short extension. Bit of José Suarez to his repertoire
Harber is already tallying up the hard-hit aerial contact He's gonna be really good, folks
In June, Chapman's attack angle and swing length shifted back to normal and he suddenly started hitting for power again. Incredible coincidence
Giants take Gonzaga 3B Mikey Bell in the 19th round. Hits the ball hard, does get some barrels, but hasn't translated to game power yet. Decent whiff rates, a little bit of chase.
On Peyton Bonds: this is a good leaderboard to qualify for. 90% zcon while crossing a good EV90 threshold. Not just a nepo pick
Mahle really reached back at the end of the outing. 95.8 MPH is his hardest pitch of the season. He's also 5 scoreless innings away from a sub-5 ERA
Giants took Bolemon at 29. Velo was down to about 92 MPH on the Circuit but he's shown this kind of velo in the past.
Flora can spin the ball and the sweeper is a great pitch. There's a lot of development to go– he's probably a 2028 ETA. Command is real fringe. Will need to add pitches that get chase.
It's the little things and Schmitt was just in no position to get to a bunt when the ball leaves Kilian's hand
Edmundo Sosa currently has the highest chase rate on record since 2008, beating out a rookie Pablo Sandoval
Cease is definitely lucky that the Blue Jays realized they could do this, bc he was not surviving that contract on just two pitches
Gets a wide open 3 in transition, decides to step into a mid-range shot (which he front-rims)
Well with the caveat that a lot of these college StatCast-infused games have questionable calibrations, Oregon sophomore Will Sanford looks like he might just be someone to grab in next year's draft
*Furman needs to start doing damage on breakers, but hey this season is basically his first real experience above A-ball
Roupp had troubles getting through the order multiple times last year and it hasn’t gotten better
Acuff is an incredible ball handler and facilitator but those shooting splits man. There needs to be a big step forward there otherwise he's just a Quickley-level starter
There’s a lot of ways they could’ve gone with this but they chose the most ridiculous argument possible
Whisenhunt's SL a little harder, a lot more gyro from a 6.1' vRel. -8.8º VAA is pretty good bite
Super weird thing happening on the other app where I had two mutuals fall for a phishing link. The hackers DM'd me the same link (some thing you had to vote on and I assume you entered your account info to "verify"). Now it's a few months later and the accounts got sold off and/or are bots now?
And we are seeing the bat fall apart in real time. He’s entirely reliant on power output. His expected quality of contact numbers are slowly going down, and he’s stopped slugging on anything that’s not a fastball. The first two signs of an impending implosion
