The most polished prep LHP in my opinion. Really, really excellent feel for how to pitch. Can manipulate shape, +/- on all pitches, and has a great sense of how to navigate a lineup. Combine that with the plus stuff, and you’ve got a really impressive arm

I think people commonly misunderstand the purpose of trying to throw a ball as hard as you can off the mound. There’s times to work on mechanics, command, etc, but also a time and place to just let one RIP. Run the engine fast so you feel comfortable toning it down in game

Really tight turns and a heavy barrel from Condon. Regularly gets his best swing off and leverages it out front to do damage. Will be a very good hitter for a long time, personal 1:1 at the moment

Josh Springer (‘23 CA) goes way down below the zone and sends one out to LF for a HR. Ton of power w/ a big leg kick and quick hands and bat speed. Been a good framer from behind the plate as well.

The 🐐 at this. Athletes don’t need to understand ALL the numbers to make it applicable, let them know how they can leverage their metrics to find success, and it’ll be easier for them to actually do so
Had an awesome conversation this morning with an athlete about making data, mechanics, etc. digestible for him.
Take something like VAA for example:
There’s several factors that go into it (pitch height, rel. speed, release height)
Wow, I wonder what could have changed for these guys! It’s almost like when you’re a reliever you’re able to throw harder (on average) than when you’re a starter 🤯 velo is not a myth and it doesn’t make you worse 👍🏻
Pitchers who lost 3+ MPH of velocity are dominating
Jordan Hicks -4.7 MPH... ERA went from 3.29 to 2.44
Garret Whitlock -3.7 MPH... ERA went from 5.15 to 1.96
Reynaldo Lopez -3 MPH... ERA went from 3.27 to 1.34
Is velocity a myth and actually makes pitchers worse?
