Giants announcers talking about Aguilar:
“I can’t remember the last time we’ve seen a pitcher this short (5’8”). I think you’d have to go back 20 years”
Uhhhhh
@STR0
High school kids pay attention: multiple 88-92 arms in this draft being referred to as low velocity/command guys. 90 is the new floor. Want to play professionally? Prioritize velo development. Now.
Today I started reading Think Again by Adam Grant. I will read a little bit every day until I finish it. I'll post one takeaway daily in this thread. Feel free to follow along
6’6 14 year old Aidan Kent with the 3 mph PR of 91.4🔥
Rumor has it he hit a 92 this bullpen too.
In the spring he will play his first high school game 👀

Before

was spitting heat on stage, he was throwing heat at Duke where he posted the lowest ERA in Duke history (a quick thread 🧵)

Free Agent Dalton Mall averaged 98.4 and topped 99.9 on stalker, 100.1 on TrackMan, in his most recent pen.
He also showcased his elite off-speed. Going to be an absolute steal for whichever team signs him 🔥

12.33 ERA in his last college stint. Metrics are nice, but how does he do outside of a controlled environment. Appreciate his hard work and dedication, but orgs. look at the big picture. There’s a reason most orgs. avoid facility guys.
Steven Talbert
25 years old
85-88 today with a ch, cb, & split
6’2” lefty
Needs minimal time to warm up
Doesn’t even need a catcher
Been known to wake it up and crank it up
Will sign for four baconators

Thank to everyone who has helped in progressing my career. I can’t wait to get out to North Carolina and start this next chapter!

Jordan Oliver delivered an impressive bullpen yesterday here at

He is currently a redshirt freshman at Millersville University, excited to watch him ball out this year

If you think it’s strange that there’s been so many no-hitters this year, head on over to
@PitchingNinja
page and see what pitchers are doing on a nightly basis. These guys are straight up nasty with change-ups faster than the league average fastball fifteen years ago 👀🔥
Fun fact: all of those coaches at that showcase you paid hundreds of $ for have access to the internet. Most of them follow

and check their emails pretty consistently. They’re all pretty accessible for free
The 6’6 195 lbs uncommitted (class of 2024) RHP, Griffin Jackson, with a recent PR of 87. Much more in the tank, would not be surprised if he was 90+ before he finished high school

“Danny Kirwin, so nasty even the announcers can’t tell what pitch he’s throwing half the time” -
@Tread_Isaac
After two progressional appearances, Danny’s stats are:
5.0 IP, 1.80 ERA, 2 H, 0 BB, 4 K
We often embody 3 mindsets: protect & promote our ideas (preacher), recognize flaws in other peoples' reasoning (prosecutor), seek to win over audiences (politician). Instead, we should search for the truth & not be afraid to rethink/question our ideas and beliefs (scientist)
After hitting a PR of 96.4 on Pro Day, Free Agent Danny Kirwin followed it up by sitting 96.2 and topping 97.7 a few days ago. Data posted below. Kid is legit 🔥

Last week I finished up my third round of teaching a TreadU class on The Language of Coaching: The Art & Science of Teaching Movement, a book by Nick Winkelman.
Here are three simple, yet important take aways players & coaches can use to maximize performance (a short thread 🧵)
Next, Hale Sims.
- Averaged 92.5, topped 93.4
- Averaged 81.6 mph, -13.4 h break on the sweeper (.3 mph less than mlb average, 4 more inches of break)
6'5" 285 RHP, just finished up at UNC Charlotte. Check next tweet for data
Here's what a side view of 84 MPH mechanics compared to 93 MPH mechanics. These throws are a little over 2 years apart from each other. Here's some things that I notice between the 2. 🔑
Daniel Padysak got the start last night in the Czech Republic’s first WBC game ever. His line:

Countless times I have received blank stares when asking trainees “have you ever tried to just throw it harder?”
