Will Bednar is going to get some of the best tech integration with coaching in the MLB when he gets to the Giants. Above average MER (182°) and arm speed. A great compact delivery.
Michael McGreevy is heading to the @Cardinals! We were impressed with his low predicted torque paired with above average arm speed (22m/s) makes for a very efficient delivery.
Next week, we’ll begin announcing some of the metrics that will be included in the PitchAI app - but you’ll start to see arm path in TRAQ soon! This helps illustrate long vs short arm paths, as well as when the player’s wrist hits the peak velocity towards home plate.
Gotta say, when looking through the draft eligible guys, one player's data really jumped out. The @Twins are getting a really special player in Chase Petty. World class arm speed (23 m/s), and incredible extension at with a stride length of 98% of his height.
Like his Vandy teammate, Rocker is near the top in arm speed (23m/s), stride length (91%), and hip shoulder separation (46°). A nice selection for the @Mets - adding to their already great pitching staff!
The @BlueJays get a good one in Ricky Tiedemann - who had the longest stride length in our draft class at 100% of his height - maximizing his athleticism with his delivery. We might be biased, but it's always great to see pitchers that will want to come to Canada 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Big Ryan Cusick is heading to Atlanta! While his fastball is already great, our analysis shows he's Top 4 in arm speed and top 10 in stride length - effective velocity is going to be a big one here! Should be a great fit for the @Braves.
Jordan Wicks is heading to the North Side! The @Cubs get a pitcher who showed the second most scap retraction in our draft group, along with the second most MER. All signs pointing to great shoulder mobility.
Tomorrow is #NationalBiomechanicsDay and we have something fun planned - we’re going to play guess those mechanics and give away 5 player accounts for the year. Make sure you’re following along! @BiomechanicsDay#NBD21
