    Michael King is emblematic of a larger lean among sharp orgs: cut your fastball so we can "seam-shift" you into more plus pitch types. The #Cubs cut their fastballs more than *any* other team in the minors. It's a perfect match. What is "cut" and why is it so prized?

    Ronald Acuna's reaction to Orlando Arcia trying to remove his hand from second base is priceless. 😂 #Braves

    I’m hearing the Rockies are paying $20m of Bauer’s 2021 salary.

    Livvy Dunne in 2025: “The splinker he added is actually his best pitch. To be able to kill that much vert above 95 is a game-changer. People who didn’t like his fastball shape in college just didn’t understand how much velo can help dead-zone shapes succeed.”

    Gerrit Cole fastball, knuckle-curve, slider overlay. 🔥⚾️🤢👑 Without a doubt, one of the most incredible pitching performances I have ever watched. #Astros 33(!) swinging strikes, 15 strikeouts. Wow. #ALDSGame2

    Wacha threw the greatest changeup ever (exaggeration ... maybe?) last season in a completely irrelevant game. -10" iVB 15" arm-side 82.5 mph 6.6' release 1,443 rpm Literal screwball. Hurts my brain. Average CH from >6.3' release has 10" iVB. This is dropping 20" more!

    Passan name-dropped Michael Wacha as a potential target for the Cubs during his segment on ESPN 1000 just now. Of course not an exciting name, but Wacha has a 3.27 ERA, 1.14 WHIP in 261.1 IP the last 2 seasons. Pair him up with Bieber and it's solid for the rotation.

    Catcher framing has always fascinated me from an analytical & eye-test standpoint. I’ve watched some video and have thoughts -- give me your reactions. First, Realmuto is INCREDIBLE at continuing pitch movement into zone. (1/6) #Phillies

    Sure, Roki Sasaki is cool, but can I interest you in Shunpeita Yamashita? Averaged 96 mph with his fastball last season, 20" iVB with 10" arm-side (NPB ball). 6.6' extension 6.1' release. Curveball spin up to 2900, 87-88 mph split. Aesthetically pleasing power delivery >>>
