Threw 7 innings in 4 days (1 start and 1 relief) 1hit allowed, 1 run, 13ks, 1 win, 1 save. Throwing the ball hard at the upper 8s/low 9s and most importantly, throwing my pitches for strikes. @kwhitts26 @PSTeams_

4. Kenneth Nickerson (Whitman) Whitman has a knack for producing giants on the mound. 6’4’’ Goldman, 6’6” Twining, 6’7” Murley, 6’6” Buckles, and now Nickerson. Downhill thrower into the mid 80s with plenty of upside. One to watch. x.com/i/status/1889470896915…

Thank you Francisco Lindor @Lindor12BC. Thank you New York Mets. You never know when you’re going to find a new source of inspiration, and Francisco became that inspiration for me this year. You could see the dedication in his eyes, in his plays - you could even see it in his strikeouts; it wasn’t a case of “couldn’t,” only “didn’t that time.” My Sphere concerts this summer became games in my mind. Wins were when the music was cooking, when the notes matched the intention, when the zone could be found. Every weekend was a series, and every show was a home game. When I injured my finger and looked down to see half the nail sheared off and bleeding, my first thought was how to play with the other three fingers. That was what Lindor would have done, and so that’s what I did. The Mets’ talent makes them aspirational, but their humanity makes them relational. It means that it’s never out of the question what’s being done on that field could be done by you and I in our pursuits, too. If I had one secret of success to share with you, it’s to pick someone in life you admire and run alongside them. You don’t have to know them to decide that if they can keep going, you can keep going. And the Mets kept going. I hope that in the next few days, after the disappointment has had its say, that Francisco and the entire team realizes that what they accomplished was enough. Their monumental run was enough to unify a city, bring together families, friends, and remind us all that above all else, nothing is more powerful a force in achieving success than effort. A boring word, “effort.” But it’s the only chance of good becoming great and that greatness taking hold for the long run. So thank you Francisco Lindor, and thank you to the 2024 Mets for the unbelievable adventure, the inspiration, and the reminder to never give up. It was more than enough.

Huh 🤔 Guy that hits the go ahead 2 Run HR is bunting (squeezing) his next at bat. Amazing what happens when you NEED to win a game. #Play #The Game 👌

No bat flip, no chest-pounding, no five-second stare-job; Francisco Lindor hits one of the biggest home runs in franchise history and runs the bases like he's done it a thousand times. The Mets are NLCS-bound. (Enjoy the great @HowieRose on the call.)

This is as good as it gets on the mound in college baseball. 18 pitches for Jamie Arnold, generated seven swings-and-misses and four strikeouts. Slider and changeup were both nasty. CH was the best its ever been today. Easy 93-94 with the FB. Here's 35 seconds of elite stuff:

For all the players (at all ages) that spend their entire batting practice “hooking and pulling” everything… Take a look at the video and then listen carefully to Adam Wainwright @UncleCharlie50 talk about Castellanos’ approach in BP today… hint… not one pitch pulled… everything backside (oppo). Batting practice is a chance to work your swing and focus on “in game approach.” Wish more young players could learn this and work to apply. Become a complete hitter. @DirtBroUSA @nextlevelbb

If you were to create an intelligent yearly calendar for a Junior in High School who wants to play college baseball, what would it look like? I was, at best, a better than average high school player tracking to MAYBE have an opportunity to play high level Division 3 baseball...
