@MLB @Yankees those fans should never be allowed back into a game ever!
Betts could have been seriously injured.
If you don't come down swiftly and hard then you are setting a precedent for fans to feel as though they can put their hands on players.

So proud of @CarterLenz77 for a PR of 91 last night in the first official game of the high school season! Thanks to @SpenserDavis6, @mikenextlevel , @JJenkins_33, and Marcus Davis at for helping get him to this goal! Can’t wait to see what the future holds!

[Spenser Davis @SpenserDavis6]

Another PR for @d_ouderkirk (Mariners) 🚨🚨

Today he hit 98.5 MPH , while averaging 97.4 MPH ⛽️

Getting closer to 100!

[Armored Heat @ArmoredHeat]

Big League Pitchers are showing up to Spring Training already having thrown a good amount of Bullpens

They will still throw another Bullpen or 2, then a few live BPs, THEN have an Innings Building in games..

No your High Schooler isn’t ready to go 7 Strong out the gate 🤦‍♂️

[Spenser Davis @SpenserDavis6]

Off speed and breaking ball development day @d_ouderkirk 👨‍🔬

[Spenser Davis @SpenserDavis6]

Spring training ready ✅

[Spenser Davis @SpenserDavis6]

Opening weekend are coming up for our collegiate athletes 👀 The first one opening up this weekend is @acritchie7 for Paul D Camp CC 🔥 Can’t wait to see him carve and finally hit 90!

[Spenser Davis @SpenserDavis6]

Live ABs prep is done and @MASONLYNN8 is ready to go🌀

[Spenser Davis @SpenserDavis6]

Easy 92-93 from @d_ouderkirk 🔥

[Spenser Davis @SpenserDavis6]

PR Alert x3 🚨🚨

@acritchie7 (Paul D. Camp CC Uncomitted) hit a new PR of 89 multiple times 🔥 He’s getting closer to joining the 90 mph club

@cblank_37 (C/O 2026) hit a 89 MPH infield throw this past weekend at a WVU camp, he’s made some huge strides this off season 👀

[Spenser Davis @SpenserDavis6]

After trying multiple other pitches for a third pitch, this split was the result of that process. The splitter with cut might be one of my favorite pitches I’ve seen recently

[Spenser Davis @SpenserDavis6]

He’s a dude, has ride on the 4S with 2 plus secondary pitches

[Spenser Davis @SpenserDavis6]

Attacking the zone with the 4S and the split grip for the changeup has paid off 👨‍🔬 @CarterLenz77

[Spenser Davis @SpenserDavis6]

First Secondary Pitches of the offseason ✅ @d_ouderkirk

[Spenser Davis @SpenserDavis6]

Love to see an arsenal’s ability to play off each other. The cutter is important to add a vertical element to the arsenal. While hitters have to flatten their barrel to handle it compared to having a steeper barrel with the other pitches

[Spenser Davis @SpenserDavis6]

Pitch arsenal is ahead from last season this time 👨‍🔬 Also the personal indoor PR is 92.1, that could get broken this offseason 👀

[Spenser Davis @SpenserDavis6]

When throwing 2 different breaking balls, understanding the purpose of each & how they play in the arsenal is key. This pitcher has a bigger CB that results in more whiffs but can be difficult to command. A slutter provides a pitch he can command easier and is platoon neutral

[Spenser Davis @SpenserDavis6]

A Sinker-Cutter combo pairs well together. A sinker with more HB allows: 1. cutter to be used with glove side sinkers to potentially freeze the hitter
2. tunnels the cutter w/ sinkers on the outside part of the plate to get hitters jammed after seeing the pitch out over the plate

Brenan Hanifee’s 2023 season has been one to celebrate, especially when it came to making his MLB debut with the Tigers! There are several stats that played an impact on Brenan having his best year yet🧵
