For Noah Hertzler the first month of summer was focused on being overly aggressive in the zone. Now we have shifted to experimenting with pitch usage and outing consistency! He continues to stack outings as in his last three: 3.1 IP, 1 R, 6 Ks to 2 BB 📈

Had a great mid-season meeting with the Phillies player development staff that made me reflect on how many low-future-value minor leaguers (such as myself) optimize for the wrong reward function. Most players naturally favor a slightly positive expected value approach with very

.Tarik Skubal just gave an in-game interview breaking down his between-starts routine. The biggest takeaway? He prioritizes his recovery. Skubal stressed the importance of letting the heavy days be heavy—and the light days stay light. Smart, intentional training adds up. 🎯

You've probably heard of location and pitching models, but what exactly is the execution model Driveline uses? It all starts with better contextualizing command🧵⬇️

A great inning last night for Brenan Hanifee as he gave up zero runs and had 1 K! Brenan has started to find his location on the 4S and increased the usage which has made hitters not be able to just sit sinker

Outing consistency continues for Noah Hertzler (William and Mary) as he faced once of the best lineups in the NECBL and went 2.2 IP with 1 ER and 3 Ks! Noah has continued to attack the zone and get whiffs on his nutty changeup. His fastball was also up to 93 last night

Part 1 of my SP Preview article for the MLB Draft is out now! I hit on the top 3 lefties on the board in Kade Anderson, Jammie Arnold, and Liam Doyle. Check it out, link below!

1.2 scoreless innings pitched for Brenan Hanifee as he has started to mix more of his 4-Seam and slider in to pair with his sinker! He has also started throwing the sinker inside more to prevent hitters from sitting on his classic glove side sinker

Happy Draft Day to all who celebrate! It's about time I do a long awaited College Stuff+ update. Some interesting draft names here like Michael Lombardi, James Talllon, Joseph Dzierwa, Justin Lamkin, and Antoine Jean.

Week 7 of Summer Training: This week was about problem-solving. I gave guys an obstacle and let them figure out a solution. I mixed in more variability and adjustability to create unpredictable environments that forced them to adapt and compete
