From @EliasSports, about Dylan Cease, one of the best-kept secrets in baseball: Opponents’ contact rate––fair or foul–– on swings this season is only 66 percent, lowest in AL. He has allowed 3 ER or fewer in 18 starts this season, and in those outings, he has a 2.47 ERA.
Players understanding relevant statistics is massively underrated in development. A large % of players assess their season with stats like AVG/ERA. It is necessary to take ownership of what makes YOU a productive player instead of blindly chasing outdated stats
@T_Zombro24@realkclark@TreadAthletics Tackling velocity, command, mechanics, and pitch optimization all at once is most likely counter- productive. Stick to the first 2 and sprinkle in the rest as you progress
@T_Zombro24@realkclark@TreadAthletics If your two goals are velo and repeatability, then a natural mvmt pattern will yield higher velocities and consistency. Forcing high VB from a low slot can restrict how your body wants to move and hurt your #1 and 2 goals.
@realkclark@T_Zombro24@TreadAthletics Whatever you want to use your last year to do is 100% up to you! Just make sure what you spend your hard work on is aimed at your ultimate goal.
@realkclark@T_Zombro24@TreadAthletics Pro goal? Historically, At sub 90 mph and 5’7, elite VAA won’t move the needle much. Velocity/production should be valued higher here to get your foot in the door based on your current situation.
Blessed to announce I will be furthering my academic and baseball career at Georgia Southern University! I would like to thank God and everyone that has helped me get here. #hailsouthern#643DPAthletics
To all the seniors that careers ended today, you have accomplished more than 99.9% of people in this sport and you should be proud. The game loves you and appreciates everything you’ve given it.
