With the MLB Draft slowly approaching, I decided to write an article on my Top 10 College SP in the draft. As the draft comes closer the goal is to eventually expand this list. Would appreciate any feedback and would love to answer any questions Link Below

There are too many to thank and I appreciate everyone who has helped me along my journey and helped me learn. The baseball community on Twitter has been amazing!

Year 1 ✅ The first year as a collegiate pitching coach was more rewarding than I could have asked for! I loved every second of it and finally found what I’ve been looking for in coaching.

I don't think anyone else has done something this innovative on the catching side publicly!
I’ve spent the last few months working on a site for catchers/catching coaches to have a better tool for their catching analysis. It’s a work in progress still, but hoping this will help those without access to more advanced models. kdbbeta85v2.netlify.app

Funny how a lot of "new" pitches are just guys throwing their old ones

I wonder if Marc Church can take a page out of Jordan Romano's book to make his 4S better this year.🧵 Although there are plenty of differences, both are high-slot, high-extension arms with similar arsenal ability and strengths. Their SLs drive their success:

Romano looks to have made a slight adjustment on his 4S grip outside of his slot change. 2025 v. 2026:

Blas Castaño could be a great value claim. Castaño has a funky delivery and some fun pitch traits (4S-CH VAA separation). 27, 2 MiLB Options, virtually zero service time. He has 264.1 IPs over the last 2 years -- great K-BB in 2024 but struggled a bit in 2025.

He's not going to blow you away with his stuff, although I originally thought the stuff was worse than it was. He'll throw a good volume of IPs and limits some hard contact. I think he should throw the 4S more overall bc of its flat shape. Meat on the bone here.

Really elite thread on wrist orientation and shapes. The wrist orientation will be in response to the elbow pronation/supination timing and that timing will be a byproduct of shoulder/arm path timing in relation to sequencing upper/lower half. What you see on the mound/batters box is directly related to what the body is capable of. Plan/train accordingly.
I'm curious how much of this spin ability stems from ulnar deviation / wrist adduction. The wrist being in adduction allowing it to flip over the ball to some degree. Seth Lugo believes his wrist mobility creates his elite curve: x.com/PitchingNinja/status/1…

Do we know *why* McLean can spin the ball so much? Finger strength? Grip strength? Something in his delivery? 🤔 I've been told spin capacity is largely immutable (controlling for velo). And I just don't believe that's true. Some team is trying to crack the code... 🧵

Credit to @FriedJacob24 for talking through these ideas with me. I do wonder how much one can train wrist positions but also at what point one is limited due to anatomical constraints (bone size, articular surfaces, muscle, tendon / ligament, etc).

Here's some accompanying video (at train station so no VO, might get a ball and film more in detail). 1st vid: wrist deviations 2nd vid: wrist flexion extension, wrist deviations, and pronation / supination
