A new twist to this era in college sports. Campbell coach John Andrzejek resigns after one year and says "there are no pathways that the institution will support to fund the program appropriately moving forward."
How to Beat an Ace: The Paradigm Approach Report
Elite pitchers are tough to hit. But they’re not unbeatable.
Here’s how hitters can use data—not guesswork—to build an approach using Paradigm’s hitter-focused report. 👇

This week we took a deep dive into how teams can better evaluate transfer portal arms.
We also included 5 currently uncommitted arms who we think any program can benefit from.
If you’re interested in a detailed approach like this for your program- message me or @ParadigmPDS
Proud to share this from @ParadigmPDS, showing how advanced pitch data is reshaping pitching... and influencing offensive strategy and your approach to hitting including approach, timing, sequencing, tunnels, visual contact points, stuff+, and ultimately in-game success.
As @ParadigmPDS Thomas Santana & Kyle Wellman wrote, “baseball is a pendulum game” - pitching strategy evolution and arsenal variety shaping the future of college baseball.
This is the future of winning baseball - leveling the playing field from mid-majors to Power 5.

Congrats to Coach Midkiff on becoming the baseball program’s all-time leader in wins 👏
Middy passed the legendary Ernie Prudente with a double-header sweep over Gettysburg College this weekend! He now sits at 230 career wins in 11 seasons at Swarthmore.
Became a fan of RHP Parker Smith (@RiceBaseball) last spring. Had a solid freshman season, but broke out last year to the tune of a 3.58 ERA and 82 strikeouts across 88 IP. Was a First Team All-Conference USA selection and earned an invitation to Team USA's Collegiate National Team.
Durable frame at 6'4" and 230-pounds. Present physicality in the lower half. Loose, whippy arm action. Pitches from a low/mid-three quarter slot. Low release height. FB sits in the 92-94 range, tops out at 95/96. Shows running life at times, but I think improving the pitch shape will be key when it comes to maximizing his arsenal. At its best, and gets the most swing and miss, when located on the arm side.
Also features an effective mid-80s CH that he's comfortable throwing to both right and lefthanded hitters. Flashes plus with late tumbling life and fade. Advanced feel for the offering. Would put a 55 on it.
Smith's low-80s SL is his best secondary. Generated a 36% miss rate in 2023 and opposing hitters hit just .179 against it. Varies the shape well. Will take on more of a sweeper look at times against RHH. Bigger depth with tight, two-plane break especially against LHH. 60-grade offering.
Attacks the strike zone, advanced control and command of his entire arsenal. Starter professionally with a reasonably high floor. Smith has top-3 round upside this July.
