@SatchelPrice @CodifyBaseball Tend to go hand in hand. If you can get your spin rate up on your fastball, you can effectively use your energy to throw the ball harder. But it also means your breaking stuff is sharper, shit moves more etc..

@Manach_38 @CodifyBaseball And then you turn 7 and the tee goes away and you can put it somewhere that is safe and not a detriment to your other movements.

@michael_schlact No better teaching moment for a catcher than calling your game and giving up a late inning monster bomb because you called an inside fastball in the wrong spot 😂

[David Basen @david_basen]

@SwagnShades Huge epiphany for me way back when I realized I missed the cockshot that *is* given every AB prior to that bad strike 3 call. Not often do you see a high school AB where the pitcher didn’t make a mistake that should have been hammered.

@SwagnShades Looked like he clipped him with the bat and the hand wave was like ya man no worries.

@kevinosaki @TreadAthletics And if that batter had the stones to show bunt early, they’d see a 92 mph 18 inch running 2-seam to whiff underneath as it hit em in the chest

@MyGolfSpy 135 with a nice high flight and some check.. or 220 with more run than my 4 iron. There is no in between.

@_JeremyBooth It feels like every rule change where spring training is open season for umpires to fucking crush the rule into the players systems, and once we hit opening day it will loosen up. These calls won’t happen. At least I *hope* so

[David Basen @david_basen]

@TrebbisTess @bawfuls @billjamesonline @graham_powell If only completely changing his environment in this completely hypothetical scenario would play a part in changing some of that.

[David Basen @david_basen]

@TrebbisTess @bawfuls @billjamesonline @graham_powell Hard to say that he wouldn’t, purely because if he was a player today and had his whole playing career with access to todays knowledge and tools he still very well could have been a great player.

You really putting security behind a paywall @elonmusk? Smh…

[David Basen @david_basen]

@NorCalU1 @DaveRowan101 @PaulReddick567 It’s just much easier now to show progress, and incremental gains versus an eye test or just a radar gun. I love where it’s going and the average level of play is just going to increase. Rising tide, all boats etc.

[David Basen @david_basen]

@NorCalU1 @DaveRowan101 @PaulReddick567 Absolutely. It’s a growing pain phase of data being introduced at all levels. Good coaches I feel have always done it, at least every coach I look back at in my playing career that excelled at sending players to their next steps did.

[David Basen @david_basen]

@NorCalU1 @DaveRowan101 @PaulReddick567 Totally agree, I’m in the camp of coaching and developing skills that translate to the next level, if you are telling a high school kid who throws 70 poo to just get better at locating you are effectively setting their ceiling.

[David Basen @david_basen]

@DaveRowan101 @PaulReddick567 @NorCalU1 Nobody is telling kids to throw it at the backstop and give up bombs. But considering only 2 of the top 30 MLB ERA leaders have avg fastball velo under 90… if you want to be successful at the next level, you have to throw hard.
