Humbled for the opportunity to share with @ABCA1945 how our approach @CharlotteBSB has evolved over the years.
Some newer terms, really, for some timeless ideas.
Shaped through years of competition and reflection β and inspired by lessons from other high-stakes games that continue to help us grow. #9ATC
Going through some of my old notes..
Found my @camhansen44 report from his 2 inning appearance 8 years ago recruiting the Futures Games in Indianapolis.
Without a doubt β the Competes box!
So fortunate to have him here on staff as our Pitching Coordinator. Rising star. #9ATC
Congratulations to RHP Leonel Sequera (A) on being named Florida State League Pitcher of the Week!
Sequera, 20, pitched a season-high 6.0 shutout innings, retiring the first 11 batters of the game, and allowed just two base runners in Palm Beach's 5-0 win vs. Bradenton on Tuesday.
Our Minor League Pitcher of the Month is LHP Braden Davis!
Davis, 22, went 2-0 with a 1.14 ERA, 0.80 WHIP & 38 SO across 5 starts with Palm Beach and Peoria. Davis ranked first among all Cardinals qualified minor league hurlers in ERA, WHIP, SO, SO/9 (14.45), and opp. avg. (.115).
His July was highlighted by a 13.0 inning scoreless streak to begin the month, including a career-high 6.0 shutout innings with 11 SO on July 8. He produced almost identical lines in his first two starts with Peoria, tossing 5.0 innings and allowing just one run on two hits with eight strikeouts in each start.
Playing at Charlotte is the reason I wanted to get into coaching.
Special place with genuine people who will go above and beyond to help you succeed. Foxhole guys.

PRO NINERS - on the coaching side: π₯ ποΈ
Michael Oh (Palm Beach Cardinals pitching coach) & Austin Meine (@Cardinals pitching coordinator) doing big things.
It wonβt be long until you see these guys in a Big League dugout. Two of the best.

Braden Davis recorded 8 whiffs on 11 swings (73% whiff rate) with his changeup tonight.
Among pitchers who have thrown at least 500 pitches, Davis leads the FSL with a 40.7% whiff rate.
Leonel Sequera just recorded a career-high velocity with this 96.3 MPH fastball.
His average fastball velocity is up from 92.5 MPH in 2024 to 93.4 MPH this season.
We have announced our 2025 Minor League Coaching Staffs, with three new managerial assignments.
