The at bats before the at bat. You learned a lot by watching!

[Josh Chambers @JoshChambers]

Mike Piazza says baseball has become so obsessed with analytics and data that people have stopped actually watching the game

“Well, and I think you would attest to this, right? For me, when I was managing and guys would come in after a pitcher was being taken out or changed, and they would come in and look and say, ‘Well, what’s he throw?’ I’m like, ‘Dude, just watch him.’ You know, watch the guy throw.”

“When I was in Dodger Stadium, I would come out before I warmed up, I would sit on the bench, and the visiting bullpen was right out in right field. Whoever was pitching, I would just sit there for five minutes, watch the slider, watch the changeup. And I could see, and you learn a lot by watching. And I think we’ve computed the game so much into data that nobody watches the game.”

“And as a catcher, you know this, right? If a guy’s hot, if he’s not, if he’s chasing, all these things you have to have right here. I mean, I would watch if a guy’s crowding the plate, I know he likes the ball in. If he’s away, I know he likes the ball away.”

“It’s just certain little tells as a catcher that you watch. I was watching the game the other day, a guy had a good fastball, he blows two by the guy, the guy fouls one off, he’s tardy. What does he do? He throws a slider, off-speed, and the guy gets a base hit.”

“I’m like, the guy is telling you that he can’t catch up to the fastball. Now, I’m not saying you can’t throw off-speed, but you can’t throw it in the zone where the guy can get the bat on it. And then you go back and try to blow him away. So yeah, this organic sort of evolution of the game, the spontaneity is gone.”

“Everything is just super, super data-computerized. And it’s a little sterile to me, it’s a little austere. But who am I? It’s just my opinion.”

#uncommitted 2027 RHP @Henry_Domke has a wicked arsenal with an interesting slot. Frame still undeveloped but twitchy athlete. FB 81-83 with run and carry, CH 76-78 with a great separation from the FB, SL is his best pitch with great movement 24 HBreak. @FlatgroundApp

And so……..! The Milwaukee Brewers are winning at the big league level with a standard HS approach.

[Danny Vietti @DannyVietti]

For half a century, the Milwaukee Brewers had some of the worst plate discipline and least amount of success in all of professional sports.

That was up until about 10 years ago.

How the Brewers changed its franchise around with “Moneyball 2.0” ⤵️

It’s a weapon, but to a high school coach it’s not a secret.

If we bunt, we win': How the Rays developed a secret weapon -- the bunt

In the era of the long ball, the Rays want to be able to win with something a little closer to home.

[Bronco Baseball @bhsbleacher]

A majority of professional hitters off-season goal: pull-side, in the air, on multiple pitch types, in multiple zones to enhance, maximize bat speed, create a deeper turn & force a greater launch angle. In season: the team that wins the backside of the field wins the game.

[Andy Sroka @AndySrokaPBR]

The pitcher with the most interesting ingredients at #PBAAG26? That'd be RHP Jack Postma (Barrington HS, IL, 2028). This is a 6-foot-5, 200-pound righty with a unique release that complements everything he throws.

📐 7.2 ext. / 4.8 rel. height
🔥 FB 91.2 mph (16.2 HM / 13.8 IVB)
🧹 SL 75.8 mph (-18.7 HM / 3.2 IVB)
🪂 CH 83.1 mph (19.0 HM / 5.5 IVB)

A @PrepBaseballIL Future Gamer this year with an immense ceiling. The FB is on an island of its own, metrically, and there's real secondaries.

[Bronco Baseball @bhsbleacher]

Congrats Gentlemen, best to you in the sectional.
