Patrick Sandoval (acquired by BOS) is feels like the perfect Boston pitcher.
The Red Sox were at the forefront of phasing out fastballs, and Sandoval's fastballs have returned poor results throughout his career. His changeup and slider and strong offerings
When the top @ACCBaseball C was Player-of-the-Year & a 1st rounder (Kyle Teel), its easy to get overlooked.
But @DukeBASE C Alex Stone had huge ‘23 in his own right w/ a 30-game hit streak, 17 HR, 16 2B & just 15% K-rate.
He’s back in ‘24 to pace Devils.
.@DukeBASE's pitching staff shut down Campbell, and the Blue Devils have now won six-straight games dating back to the series finale against Boston College.
#16 Duke stays SCORCHING hot with a 4-2 win in front of a sold out crowd at #9 Campbell. M.J. Metz hit a HR, Tyler Albright hit a 2-run double, and Jay Beshears went 2-5 with an RBI. 6 Duke bullpen arms combined for 8 shutout IP in which they allowed just 4 hits (all singles).
Though he’s out for the ‘23 season, Luke Fox (@DukeBASE) could be a steal come draft time. Really impressed this fall; FB up to 95 with his CH and SL each profiling as pot. plus pitches. Throws from low 3/4 slot and ball explodes out of the hand.
Starter profile at the pro level
Free Agent looking for opportunities

While energy transfer is proximal to distal it’s important to respect that the limbs enhance proximal loading/storing of energy through the linear move.
The lead arm specifically not only aids in the loading process at the torso but also helps to set rotational alignment.
