Joe “Cuts a Little” Record (@JoeRecord_) is back on the mound early this winter.
off-season of C’s for Big Joe:
• Changeup dev
• Curveball command
• nudging the 4-seam from +2 H break into cutter territory while paying the smallest margin of cutter velo tax possible.
More importantly, Joe Record has been quietly cooking—without much acknowledgment of the big boy seam effects he’s creating between his 4S and Sinker
Coming off an outing touching the high 90s with the heater.
This isn’t just deception or nuance.
It’s true talent seam-shifted arm-side run—
not something for the pitch model enjoyers to feast on using unadjusted HB values and vibes-based comps.
And frankly?
Some pitch model noobs may be swiping left on Joe the moment they see his sinker metrics on slide 1--
missing the critical context living on slides 2 and 3.
Driveline Baseball isn’t confined by 4 walls. Same intensity. Different setting. Development doesn’t stop.
If you aren’t playing this summer. You know where to find us.

Some coaches:
"We must spend 2 hours on PFPs and bunt defense because at least 1 game is lost every year by not doing the little things."
The same coaches:
"Pitchers get 8 minutes to warm up, 6.5 minutes to throw and hurry up with that arm care, PFPs are starting!"
These girls are faced with an impossible choice:
1) forfeit and end their season prematurely
2) compete against a team with a man
History will not look kindly on the adults who not only failed these girls but betrayed them.
Shay Whitcomb whistles his first MLB hit, a double, 393 feet -- which would have been a homer in 14 big league parks!
The @astros prospect is the only player to compile 25 homers and 25 steals in the Minors this year.
