- I don't know about this one... US Population: 331.9m DR Population: 11.12m The fact that Dominican players account for 11% of all MLB players with that population discrepancy tells me that maybe we should be paying more attention to how they develop players.5 reasons AMERICANS 🇺🇸 still dominate the Talent Pool for Professional Baseball: You might’ve heard recently about how “half” the league is International players But that is not true. Here is why that narrative gets inflated, and what separates the U S of A from other
- 🚨Athlete Highlight🚨 Rays 20th rounder Matt Wyatt came in to @TreadHQ for the last 2 weeks to work on some pitch shapes before he reports to his first Spring Training soon. To say his bullpen was electric would be an understatement ⬇️
00:00 - 🚨 Athlete Highlight 🚨 @Kiatigers RHP Yang-Soo Kim Kim came to @TreadHQ in December sitting 87-89 with a lifetime PR of 91. 5 weeks later he was sitting 90-91 topping 92.6. So what did we do?
00:00 - FA RHP Conor Steinbaugh (@conorsteinbaugh) looking for affiliate opportunities Most recent Live ABs ⬇️ 8/11 FB 91-93 w 20+ inches of vert from 5'6" CH 84-5 with less than 5 inches of vert CB at 81-2 Did I mention he's a command god? 13 walks in over 100 innings in college 😤
00:00 - Conor Steinbaugh (@conorsteinbaugh) showed his stuff yesterday in live abs at our pro day. FB 92-93 t94.3 New gyro slider at 85-86 CH down to 5” ivb CB avg 82.8 The guy can pitch, not to forget he only walked 13 guys in 110 college innings. Seeking affiliate opportunities
00:00 - How much does an athlete’s perception/understanding of a movement matter? This is Gavin performing a ten toes drill prior to any cueing. We can see that his elbow is clearly climbing and he’s pushing the ball.
00:00 - @BeacomGenevieve came to @TreadHQ 12 weeks ago with one goal, to gain velo. Prior to getting to the US, she would sit 82-4 and had hit 85 twice. This is her exit pen yesterday. Gen averaged 84.2mph, with 5 pitches over 85mph.
00:00 - Australian baseball is back with Team Australia taking on Japan over the last couple days. It’s no secret that Australia isn’t the hardest throwing nation. So what’s one thing each of these pitchers could do to grab a couple mph before WBC in March? Let’s get into it!
00:00- We all know guys who are dialed in the pen, great in live AB’s and perhaps they even dominate in the Fall or Spring Training, but when it comes time to perform in games that matter, they crumble. Why does this happen? Let's look at it through the lens of the Yerkes-Dodson Law 🧵
- Mitch Neunborn (@mitchn_22) has been showcasing his seriously nasty stuff in the WBC for @TeamAusBaseball, sporting a Whiff% of 36% so far 4S: 93.3mph avg, t95.4 @ 19.3" ivb 9.4" hb CH: 78.4mph avg @ 2.4" ivb (down to -2.8") 13.8" hb SL: 85.9mph avg, t87.4 @ 11.4" ivb -4.1 hb
00:00 - FA RHP Conor Steinbaugh (@conorsteinbaugh) was nasty again in live abs yesterday, punching out 7 of the 9 hitters he faced, inducing groundballs from the other two. Somebody give this man a shot. @TreadHQ
00:00 - Bringing The Noise🗣️ Training on your own is hard, especially on max intent days. Oftentimes, you'll find yourself completing a session and realising that you never really "turned it on" like you would in a group setting, leading to lower numbers and at times a waste of workload
