Just talked with a game changer from South Florida!

[Rich Birfer @richardbirfs]

We cannot remain silent. It's up to us to speak out & to educate.

@BlackVisionsMN is a Minnesota-based campaign that fights racial injustice & aims to provide African-Americans with an opportunity to thrive.

Actions speak louder than words! Let's do our part in our communities!

A letter from the Commissioner to baseball fans on #OpeningDayAtHome.

[MLB @MLB]

Even though we’re apart, we can come together. #OpeningDayAtHome

[Rich Birfer @richardbirfs]

Fully shutting pitchers down during this time takes them all the way back to October as @enosarris noted in his article.

Monitoring of pitcher workloads will be vital over these next few weeks (maybe even months).

[The Athletic MLB @TheAthleticMLB]

From @enosarris: If or when the MLB season starts up again, baseball will have to proceed with caution to avoid a spike in pitcher injuries.

52 per diems and counting!

All money sent to me on Venmo will be sent out to someone who’s hurting from a tour cancellation.

[Rich Birfer @richardbirfs]

A good Jewish boy named Danny is doing a great mitzvah and helping roadies who are struggling due to tour cancellations.

All money is sent to people who need it! Let’s help @SannyDamet with this incredible cause ✊🏻

[Rich Birfer @richardbirfs]

Long drive back to Canada ahead, not ideal circumstances but we will be back and I’m really excited for Texas Rangers baseball to get going again 🤘🏻stay safe y’all!

[Rich Birfer @richardbirfs]

Very sad day for college baseball. Feel horrible for all the ballplayers who worked & grinded to compete this season. Feel really bad for all of my buddies who work as student managers, and for all the Canadian kids I got to watch play their HS ball up north. Heads up y’all! ✊🏻

[Rich Birfer @richardbirfs]

Very excited for the launch of the beta program.

Utilizing markerless motion capture, @pitchai_biomech uses our thesis-developed Pitching Mechanics Tool while also providing kinematic analysis of the entire pitching delivery.

[Mike Sonne @DrMikeSonne]

Check out the great @Abench75 as he throws for @pitchai_biomech! Excited to be heading to Phoenix to launch our Beta program. Lots more to come!

Great work is being done at @Kinetic_Pro!

Had a chance to go through their new workload educational course and it’s awesome.

[Rich Birfer @richardbirfs]

Not sure how I missed this earlier, but @LanceBroz consistently puts together awesome content! Always worth the read!

[Lennon Richards @lennonrichards_]

Grabbing some baseline @pitchai_biomech data for our guys as they ramp up off the mound.

Super excited for the update coming out soon that will give more specific data and reports.

Biomechanics outta your pocket is kinda insane @DrMikeSonne 👀

[Rich Birfer @richardbirfs]

Mental health is something that has effected myself, my close friends, and family. No one is ever alone. Let’s work toward ending the stigma and continue the conversation beyond today #BellLetsTalk

[Rich Birfer @richardbirfs]

Few people work harder than this dude! Congrats brother ✊🏻💙
