Reposting because this is still one of the most misunderstood topics in baseball. Velocity and spin rate didn’t magically explode. The technology changed. The old JUGS guns read slower than Stalker. Stalker read differently than Stalker Pro. Then TrackMan started measuring velocity at or near release instead of farther down the ball’s flight. That “86 mph” fastball from 30 years ago? In many cases it would show up in the low-to-mid 90s on today’s systems. MLB has spent years convincing fans that every pitcher today throws harder than previous generations. Some do. But a huge part of the jump is how the ball is measured. And here’s the funny part: in their own documentation, they acknowledge that TrackMan measures the ball out of the hand and can read roughly 2–6 mph higher than older radar systems. The game changed. The measuring system changed. The athletes didn’t suddenly become superheroes.

PERFECT FATHER’S DAY GIFT!🎁 My book, “The History of Fantasy Sports: And the Stories of the People Who Made It Happen” is the first complete history of our industry. It’s not a dry textbook — it’s packed with inspiring, funny, and surprising stories from the pioneers, entrepreneurs, and everyday players who built it. I spent 18 months interviewing dozens of key figures to bring their personal experiences to life. Some of the highlights include: * The true story behind Dan Okrent’s invention of fantasy baseball (hint: it wasn’t on an airplane!) * A WWII hero who helped spread fantasy football * Five nuns co-managing a fantasy team in a Chicago convent * A man with ALS who finally won his league after 39 years * The group “Women Against Fantasy Sports” * Why @RotoWire was almost a wedding planning company * How Monica Lewinsky saved fantasy sports… and much more! Readers are loving it: “Despite spending my entire career in the industry, I was enlightened by all the interviews and stories.” — Paul Charchian, Former President, Fantasy Sports Trade Association (2009–2020) “Simply fascinating read from start to finish.” — Midwest Book Review 👉More details on Amazon: amazon.com/History-Fantasy-S… I’d appreciate if you’d repost this to let others know about it. Thanks!

I find it incredible that baseball is one of the few instances in which some employees publicly refuse to understand the measurements used to gauge their performance. Which, funny enough, if they cared to understand them it could help them improve. People, man.
