What is the WORST PITCH in baseball? š§µ
Itās not what you think.
No itās not the dead zone FB or the hanging slider.
It is, the SINKER throw to the OPPOSITE handed hitter.
Hereās why ā¬ļø
Chase Petty up to 99 today in #Reds camp. We knew the velo was back all off-season but now so does everyone else š.
Fastball 97+ā½ļø
Cutter 92
Slider 85 w 15 sweep
Changeup 90 mph w ā¬ļø10VB
Frontline stuff, big year coming #Develop@ChasePetty11@RedsFan_Brandon@RedsOnTheRise
Electric first pen from Angels RHP Jack Kochanowicz
Cruising 96-98 š„
We all know about how good his sinker was in ā24. Continued to refine the 4S and clean up both breakers.
Already been up to 100 MPH inside this off-szn while continuing to refine + add weapons. Big things
Chase Petty during Live ABs today. Fastball 97-102 for two simulated innings. Carrying it above the zone and demon sinking it down in the zone. Just an extraordinary arm talent and worker. Slider for strikes at any time, with heavy Horizontal. Stop it, @ChasePetty11 .Time to goš„
š„Breaking News š„
Reds are calling up #6 Prospect Chase Petty to make his MLB debut tomorrow in game 2 of the double header starting at 6:40!
Letās go, CP3 ā”ļø Cincy.

I recommend everyone trying this drill. Have seen huge improvements with velocity AND command. Shoulders working north/south, much better. Thanks @TreadAthletics
In 2021, I was signed straight out of a workout by the @Phillies . Having not played baseball in 3+ years, here are some of the biggest obstacles I ran into coming from my couch into pro ball. š§µ

First pen of the year for Chase Petty: 98-100.5 š„š. SL going 87 with -2V & -16.5H at 2700 RPMs. More work to do. Electricity at its finest. #Dude#Florida@ChasePetty11
All credit to @Dom_Buonadonna on this one, our guys are always trying to create their own drills but man I actually like this one a lot. Start in a deep sit and pull back while moving down. Well done Dominic #IdeaGuy
First slope day last week for Reds RHP Chase Petty. Fine tuning the arsenal and preparing for a big 2025.
Adjusted the CH to get more depth, cleaning up both FB shapes to neutralize RHH & LHHs, and keeping the gyro & Sweeper shapes in tact.
Easy juice š§
Letās go
This throw will break your mo cap lab in halfā¦
93 MPH from 17 yr old Evan Taylor, an Alabama baseball commit.
Throws hard and throw strikes, donāt watch it too many times or you might rethink what you thought you knew.

The Cam Flukey āKikuchiā
Believe it or not, Command and Velocity can be developed simultaneously.
Cam was one of the nations best starters and a top ranked arm in the class of ā26.
Avg Velo from 93.6 to 95.4 with a 75% strike rate on that same FB.
How?
Letās break it
