A big one here! We were lucky enough to check out @HogsPlayerDev Pitching Lab, and talk to @Hobbs_38 about how they utilize their resources to build their pitching staff. This is a great look at what it takes to build one of the best pitching staffs in the country!

The Vance Honeycutt comp. 24 chase. 92 EV. A defender and a runner with a bat that doesn't play at the top.
Somebody will think they can fix him. The data says that will be tough

Revisiting the 2024 draft class.
Nick Kurtz went 4th overall. Jac Caglianone went 6th. Both arrived with elite bat speed (78 vs 77) and matching exit velo (94 vs 94). On paper, the same hitter.
Two years in, the gap is one number: chase.
Kurtz at 21.8%, 91st percentile. Caglianone at 33.2%, 30th percentile.

The 2024 draft class is the cleanest proof yet that triple slash isn't how you evaluate hitters.
Three numbers: contact, chase, & exit velo. Two of three at elite. Every box-checker is in the big leagues right now.
Kurtz vs Caglianone. The data was right there 2 years ago.

Will say that I don’t think this is reflective of the quality of pitching but more reflective that high school hitters really tend to struggle with timing different types of arms. Something that isn’t as present at the college level

Just my take.
This past H.S. season, I saw more pitchers throwing 85-89 mph than ever. The fastball wasn’t the problem. The toughest at-bats came against 75 mph lefties who threw strikes, pitched backwards, and landed solid breaking balls and changeups. Pitchability wins games.

We @ParadigmPDS have an outstanding product, and we needed a facelift to continue to raise the bar.
For 6 months we put our heads down, learned, and built.
The result: SHIFT.
"Paradigm arms organizations with information that drives winning."
Paradigm SHIFT is officially LIVE
College programs and training facilities now have access to the analytics infrastructure they've always needed, without the guesswork.
Build plans. Track arsenals. Develop players. All in one place.

I cant speak for high school baseball. I dont have data on that. I have studied pro and college baseball.
Beyond high school this just isn't true.

20 to 47 pounds of force. 10% peak force. 1.5 mph player velo.

Build for 90 wins, hope the bounce of the ball helps with the World Series.

90-92 → 96 mph.
Four cards on the timing pattern that flagged it first, the leg-lift rebuild that changed it, and the integrated lab data that tracked it.

"You need to slug. You need to string hits. You need to score runs."
W the all-bomb lineup loses in cold streaks, and why the all-contact lineup loses to elite pitching.

This is a must listen for coaches, players, & fans 🚨

Watch the leg lift. ⬇️
June: 210 lb body weight, unloading to 144. Just 66 lb of real unload.
December: same arm, unloading to 132. 78 lb of unload. The drift phase is back. So is the four mph.

55% pull. 32% pull-air. 65-homer pace.
And Schwarber still walks into the cage thinking oppo gap.
The cleanest real-vs-feel breakdown you'll see.

The market inefficiency, broken down in four cards.
Why small-market MLB stopped looking to invest in Apple. Why the 3-4-5 still has to slug. And why scrappy-only still loses in October.
