Boston Hatch (‘28, UT) struck out five in 4.2 innings this AM. Projectable 6-5 frame. Easy mover. T84 w/ the FB and showed feel for a quality CH and SL (clips). Intriguing follow. #UBCWest @PG_FourCorners

Last outing of the high school season 7 innings pitched 87 pitches 0 runs 3 hits 2 walks 2 strikeouts Kept hitters off balance with off speeds and challenged batters with inside fastballs.

We've been covering baseball in this state for nearly 20 years and we have seen a lot of amazing pitchers in that time. We may have just witnessed the best performance by a pitcher we have ever seen! Ryder Huntsman of Pleasant Grove was DOMINANT from the bump today, throwing 6 perfect innings with 15 of the 18 outs coming via strikeouts! @kslsports @TABBank @bpreece24 @GroveVikings @DarrinHenry @tobin_baseball3 @KeatonNordick @daveystaffieri @RyderHuntsman24 @ConnorYbarra

If we have learned anything in our 20 years of covering high school baseball in Utah, it's never a matter of 'if' the Lehi bats get rolling, its 'WHEN!' Lehi exploded for 7 runs in the final 3 innings today as they took down Corner Canyon at the Ball Park at America First Square. James Rex did most of the damage racking up 4 RBIs in the game for the Pioneers! @kslsports @TABBank @bpreece24 @lehihighbaseba1 @kannon_whiteley @hazenelton4 @ybarra_cole @madsen_mur56219 @RyderSchultz40 @CallSawyer20

Had a 💣today, good win 9-3 @PrepBaseballUT

The Kelce brothers accidentally explained one of the longest-running training mistakes in professional sports in under 30 seconds. A pitcher's delivery takes 1.5 seconds. The rest period before the next pitch is roughly 20 seconds. A starter who throws 100 pitches in a game produces somewhere between 2 and 3 minutes of total physical exertion across a 3-hour window. The work-to-rest ratio is approximately 1:20. That ratio maps almost perfectly to the ATP-CP energy system, the anaerobic pathway that powers movements lasting under 10 seconds. Sprinting. Jumping. Swinging a bat. Throwing a 97 mph fastball. Every meaningful action in baseball lives in this system. Distance running trains the opposite system. Aerobic metabolism. Slow-twitch muscle fibers. Type I fibers that are smaller, produce less force, and prioritize fatigue resistance over power output. Elite sprinters carry 60-80% fast-twitch fibers. Elite endurance athletes carry 60-95% slow-twitch. A 2008 study on collegiate baseball players found that combining endurance training with power training produced measurable drops in power output. You are literally remodeling the engine in the wrong direction. Training the aerobic system when every sport-specific action runs on anaerobic fuel. The tradition started decades ago because games last 3 hours and coaches confused game duration with physical demand. A game lasting 3 hours does not mean the athlete is exerting for 3 hours. A pitcher standing on the mound between pitches is recovering, not working. The correct training analog is a sprinter who runs 100 meters, walks back, and goes again. Driveline Baseball, Eric Cressey, and every major sports science program has been publishing this data for over a decade. Strength coaches at the MLB level largely moved to sprint-based and med ball protocols years ago. But the foul-pole-to-foul-pole jog still persists at the high school and college level because the coaches who played in the 90s trained that way and never updated. The Kelces just explained it to 3 million people faster than any journal ever could.

Convo I had awhile back about a player “His metrics other than his changeup are avg for this level I don’t think he’ll compete much” Me-“How do you know if you never let him out there?” “Our guy is saying that I’m just relaying” Fast forward - same guy is their best guy outta the bullpen by a wide margin and his changeup has a .090 BAA with 31 whiffs, 8 GIDP Analytics help paint a picture but says nothing about a guys moxie, toughness, or competitiveness

A couple HRs in back-to-back ABs today. @slccbaseball @SLCCCoachG #BruCru
