My Soph yr flashback, Apr 2022 against the Texas #1 ranked Tompkins HS with @JaceLaViolette2. Threw relief 2IP, 8 batters, 0R, 2 weak IF hits. #12 Jace was the only batter to put serious wood on it, should have been a FO or at least an E7, book keeper was nice and gave him a hit.
@LHP_MichaelS Gameday pitching April 13, 2024. Entered in the 4th with runners on 1 & 2, no outs. 5 batters, 23 pitches, 52% strikes, 1 strikeout, 1H, 0R, 1BB, one out in less than 3 pitches. Catcher @JeffSisan, 1B @BerraTyler with the catch foul, LF @Owade_04 with the fly out.
@LHP_MichaelS Pitched the 5 & 6 inning, could have done a better job. 7 batters, 31 pitches, 2H, 1 ER, 0BB, 58% strikes. Got a pickoff, struck out two swinging, and had two out in <3 pitches. My catcher @JaceGar81973116 taking care of business behind the plate. @7Lakesbaseball
@LHP_MichaelS Caught another runner yesterday. Brought in with runners on 1 & 2, no outs, batter showing bunt, couldn't tip their hand any more than that. Spun and made the throw to @C_Villamizar15 at 3rd. @7Lakesbaseball
🚨 Best Pickoff Move Ever???
- The “Inside Move” to 2nd is about deception NOT speed.
- Sell your delivery to the top of your leg lift, then spin.
- You are trying to get the runner to take his secondary lead or steal before you spin and throw.
@LHP_MichaelS Got to check the W in the pitching column against Jordan HS. Threw 1.2 IP, 7 batters, had 4 batters out in <3 pitches. A decent 64% strikes, but crushed it with 86% FPS and 83% FPSO. @Ty_Dawson and Eric Montana on the 6-4 play to end the 4th inning.
@LHP_MichaelS Stepped in after @JLevin_23 (lights out pitching!) to get the final out last night. 4 pitches, 100% strikes, OUT! (strike swinging, strike swinging, foul, strike looking) @TylerSims2025 working behind the plate. Let's go @7Lakesbaseball!
@LHP_MichaelS Gameday pitching stats vs Tompkins. 3IP, 14 batters, 53 pitches, 0H, 1ER, 2K, 5 batters out in <3 pitches. The umpire was not giving me the left side of the plate even after showing consistent placement, accept and adapt. First inning up was a 1-2-3 inning.
Givin' our @7Lakesbaseball catchers the thanks they deserve! @JeffSisan popping up, spinning, finding the ball and getting me the batter out in <3 pitches, nice!
