Over 55% of MLB 0-0 pitches are fastballs/sinkers. Data shows that changeups and splitters could be SUPER effective in 0-0 counts. More swings ⬆️ More chases ⬆️ More groundballs ⬆️ More weak contact ⬆️ Let’s dive into the numbers 👇🧵

College pitchers are heading back to campus for the fall. But many of their offseason throwing programs failed them, leaving them underprepared, fatigued, and at risk of injury. 🚨Traditional throwing programs are exposing athletes to injury🚨 Let’s talk about it 👇🧵
