I was broke, pockets full of lint

Lebron James does make minimal contact with the heel; therefore, I would put him in the aerial category. Unfortunately, I could not find any video of Simon Biles walking. Please let me know what you think, right or wrong! Would love to continue a conversation on this topic!

Saw this thread a few weeks ago, spurred some thoughts and conversations. Let's talk about anterior pelvic tilt: the causes and application in athletes, a 🧵:

[Jack Krucial @JackKrucial]

Anterior pelvic tilt gets demonised so much yet basically every explosive & powerful athlete constantly presents with this posture.

So long as you train the pelvis through some posterior tilt biased positions, it’s not worth worrying about.

[Will ꓘ @willk926]

Krucial's thread references athletes Usain Bolt, Lebron James, and Simon Biles. This video of Usain Bolt does not show him with the aerial movement features I would expect. There is firm, sustaining, heel contact with the ground, the traits of terrestrial movement.

Up to 94, grab this guy before he’s off the board. Incredible athlete, even better leader and person

Not sure how hard your 80% bullpen should be? No need to guess, read this quick thread! 🧵

@PitchingCoachU Did not take a look at usage vs side. That explains the change a lot better. Thank you!

[Will ꓘ @willk926]

A decrease in standard deviation represents the professionalism of the players. They are becoming more consistent and establishing themselves as young stars in the game. If there are any critiques or reasonings to how to predict IVB change better please let me know!

[Will ꓘ @willk926]

Inspired by this thread from @LanceBroz and from my long conversations with @imstilllucas, I decided to take a look at the change of induced vertical break from college to the MLB. Here are the mean and standard deviations of IVB from 2023,  a 🧵:

[Lance Brozdowski @LanceBroz]

Something to consider with MLB Draft SP pitch shapes, as told to me by one analyst:

High school balls are college balls on steroids
College balls are MiLB balls on steroids
MiLB balls are MLB balls on steroids

Less spin-induced mvmt as you ascend (seam height, etc). But.. 🧵

These are just estimates, there are many other factors. Mechanical changes, grip changes, and many other external factors affect this. Predicting performance is difficult. As humans, predictability only goes so far.
