@tangotiger @drwest1111 @mrmagwee Does this work the same for infielders? Meaning SS are compared to an average that includes 1B

@tangotiger How often is OAA retrained on new batted ball data?

@jjcoop36 I didn’t realize there was an article. My apologies. I don’t have a subscription so I haven’t read, but the Ventura pic was an answer to your question. The soft tossers that we see are the elite ones, we don’t see the soft tossers who can’t locate because they won’t get innings

[Minnesota Baseball @GopherBaseball]

Consistency on the mound 💪

Closed out 2026 ranking within the top 4 of the Big Ten in both WHIP and ERA

@drivelinekyle @DrivelineBB How are you measuring where the seams are? Computer vision?

[Jack Schad @JackSchad]

@PEARatings So over a large enough sample (will never actually happen) you think teams would regress towards the expectation?

As to say there isn’t an inherent reason so many teams are over performing in the field it’s just luck

[Jack Schad @JackSchad]

@QuinnRiley_BB @LanzilliCam That’s fair and I do agree with you. A couple low floor high ceiling guys is ideal. My point is more about it’s not a lack of trust in development it’s roster limitations (34) and time constraints (elig. and staff) and then having to choose which projects to target based on fit

@TimStats His “slider” is classified as a cutter and “curve” a slider but here are how his pitches tunnel off each other

[Ty McDevitt @CoachMcdevitt]

Gutted our season has come to an end. Truly a special group our fans and alumni should be proud of. Cheers to 2026 @GopherBaseball

[Jack Schad @JackSchad]

@JoeDoyleMiLB I don’t think he’s played CF once this year. He’s an average LF. Really really impressive bat though

[Minnesota Baseball @GopherBaseball]

Congratulations to @CoachMcdevitt on earning his 50th career win as head coach!

Medium intent throwing days are dumb unless you’re on-ramping after time off.

In season, medium days should be thrown out completely.

Starters: high days for start day, and bullpen day, low days for the rest

Relievers: literally either you’re on (high) or off (light).

[Weston Germain @coach_germain]

When we were kids, my brother and I would compete throwing rocks across the street into mailboxes.

But I can’t put that into a program, so now we throw variability balls at bucket lids.

Tomato tomato.

@isaacgroffman How are you guys tracking bat speed and AA? CV?
