I made a website, and if you are a baseball player, fan, or coach in the PNW, it's made for you. @NWBBstats is a hub for all things NW baseball. Advanced college analytics, tools for coaches, information for recruits, and so much more. Coding agents are really popular right now, for good reasons. I wanted to see how far I could take AI to make a dream a reality. Around 75 hours of vibe coding later, the website was ready for launch. The birth of this site was for selfish reasons. I wanted to get advanced analytics on potential NWAC recruits. I also wanted more coaching and scouting tools that didn't live on an Excel spreadsheet. There's still a lot of building to do, but I'm proud of the work and vision on this project, and I think you'll really enjoy the product. Check it out, nwbaseballstats.com/

New game on the site 😎

Absolutely nailed this last year in the below video. Writing was on the wall. “Development offloading” is inevitable. youtu.be/I9sKOO5sVLE

It’s sad to see strong west coast talent leaving a super regional team. Maybe you can make more money in the south, but you’re leaving a winning team… Obviously everyone wants to play at the highest level, but where’s the line? You can be a first round draft pick at Oregon any year, a place that you built a reputation at, or you can make a bit more money and have a more uncertain standing at an SEC school. So many of these portal guys are going to transfer up and be role players or struggle and ride the bench, when they could be featured stars at the school they’re leaving. It’s the reason guys at Bushnell chose to stay at the NAIA level rather than chase the D1 dream. Everything is uncomfortable at that level now, and so, so transactional. We want guys to further their careers and move up, but it’s hard to trust what’s going on up there. I understand low major guys wanting to transfer up because it’s best for their pro career. I will never understand leaving a school like Oregon after a super regional.

Would be a travesty if approved.

PNW draft prospect Sawyer Nelson has had an interesting start to his summer ball season. Really passive, lots of swing and miss, but great statistical results. @NWBBstats

Mock Draft Time! 26 days until the 2026 MLB Draft, here's what I've got... I'm more comfortable calling Lackey, who is a unicorn, the best player in this draft, but it could go either way at 1. The next few picks sort themselves out. Roch and Emerson are in a clear top 3 with Lackey. Lombard and Booth could end up being interchangeable in the top 5. I prefer Booth, but think the Giants are more likely to go with Lombard. With the top 3 prep hitters off the board, the Royals opt for the best pitching in the draft in Flora. Helfrick goes early to the Orioles (probably his ceiling), also like Burress/Hacopian there. Burress slides in at 8 but could go anywhere after 2. Braves are tough. With Townsend question marks and Burress gone, they grab the best prep pitcher in the class. Hacopian to the Rockies is a nice match. Bell to the Nats makes sense in my head, and Curiel to the Angels is so obvious it probably won't happen. I like Gracia at 13 lots. I think a lot of teams in the 10-20 range will covet him. Grindlinger is about as fun a prospect as you'll get, and Miami is tied to him. Arizona at 15 is tough, but a college outfielder makes the most sense in this spot. Strosnider is still being underrated, I think? Lebron was the hardest guy to mock. I don't like him in the top 20, but one of the teams 15-20 is going to take the risk. Rangers have tons of options. Dietz will be a hot commodity in the teens as a money-saving upside move for Houston. Townsend might be the best pitcher in the class (?), and the Reds likely go with a college arm. Tegan Kuhns at 19 was stolen from @JoeDoyleMiLB because I couldn't figure out who to place there. The run on college arms continues with Cameron Flukey to the Red Sox. They'll like his release traits. Bo Lowrance is a hard man to mock, and the Padres have lots of options at 21, but the upside of Lowrance wins out. Trevor Condon feels like a steal at 22, clearly the best prep hitter left at that point. Ace Reese at 23 is safe, but college OF is firmly in play. Cole Carlon has a lot of traits the Mariners love. Will Yow is a surprise to see here, but the Brewers are wildcards, and Yow is tooled up and will save them money. Eric Becker to ATL is safe after taking Gio Rojas at 9. The Mets could go college bat or arm here, I lean arm with Reddemann and Peterson still available. Taj Marchand is a more expensive buy for the Astros at 28 and has hit tool safety. Daniel Jackson feels like a Giants guy, and Zion Rose is one of a few prep OFers the Royals could target at 30.

On Monday, MLB announced the 300 names that have been invited to the MLB Draft Combine. 8 of them have the most to prove next week for varying reasons… 👇STORY👇

Bushnell Grad Tyler Biddinger was up to 96 yesterday for the Flying Mummies in the Northwoods. Lots of 94 . 5 pitch arsenal from a low launch. Seeking pro opportunities! @ty_biddi5242

You may know the famous names. Justin Lebron, Daniel Jackson, Aiden Robbins, sure. But it's these five players you should circle as names to know in the 2026 Draft playing in Omaha this weekend. STORY

I am accepting offers for baseball director of AI. I can show you how many Claude tokens I’ve used.

The swing is very divisive, but the right org could make Castellanos an absolute bargain in July

This rocks

For baseball players who might want to play in the PNW, nwbaseballstats.com now has a quiz that helps match you with good school fits. We also have a 350-page PDF detailing all 57 programs, and much more. Check it out!

Henning is a dude. Can be a difference maker on a D1 roster. Defensively versatile and athletic. The swing is pure. Doubles will start turning into homers soon. I believe in the person, and the player.

If you're a college coach recruiting in the PNW- this is for you. Just added a PNW transfer portal tracker, which will soon include all uncommitted players in the WCL.

We’ve got seven fantastic interns working on the @NWBBstats site and gaining knowledge in the baseball data world. Tons of huge projects already underway, stay tuned!

If you know me you know I love this prep catcher class

Made a video game, check it out! #ThankYouClaude

Cam is going to be great for this program. In our first conversation we ended up chatting about random baseball topics for something like two hours, and I immediately knew he was the right guy. Welcome to Eugene @CameronKundig!
