Good 🧵 on delivery direction here
A note about delivery direction: When I was in highschool and college I had about the worst delivery direction you can imagine. I would finish every pitch basically running towards first base.
✅Good model ✅Good way to think ✅Good way to coach 🍪Most coach what worked for them…some hated themselves as a player and go the other direction🔪 ⚡️Coaching with Questions⚡️ 💥Feels like a good way to figure out what’s best for the Individual💥
so yeah if you thought you saw a lot of splitters this postseason you did
An epidemic
If the last 5 years of my life have taught me anything it’s that the biggest obstacle to getting kids on a path of skill & athletic development is their parents.
Adjustability…Adaptability…Game IQ
bumping my hitter “arsenal” leaderboard: 3+ distinct swings for clement. only 83% of his bat path variance explained by swing shapes 1-3, ie, he has even more clubs in his bag. the other 20 guys all had A-C swings accounting for more, ~90%, such variance.
Love it. Truer today more than ever.
Why Juco? 100% scholarship (most cases) vs 25% scholarship. Two seasons (fall and spring). Immediate playing time (most cases). Smaller classes. Less restrictions on coach's time spent with players. Draft and four year options open. Learn to grind.

In honor of Kershaw's incredible career, let's revisit this gem on how you can still "drift" from a slide step. Rather than initiating by dropping into the back leg, he first leans/falls to move his body away from the rubber, allowing the drop into his hinge to propel him…

An increase in bat speed controlling for intercept point and count appears to correlate well with an increase in xwOBA due to an increase in ISO and very slight decrease in K rate.
Oh sick!
Paradigm+ takes command training to the next level by turning data into execution you can feel on the mound. 📊 Our dynamic heat maps overlays our stuff+ models to show pitchers where to throw each pitch type for optimal results.
New Bat Speed Program is live on Patreon!!! It includes sample plans for beginners to advanced level hitters. More importantly, you will find deep insight on turning training gains into in-game performance. Link below 👇 patreon.com/posts/14265256…
Here's a Yamamoto splitter at ~1400 spin rate. It's 92 mph and has -2 iVB. Here's a Dominguez splitter at ~1000 spin rate. It's 85mph and has +3 iVB. Same game. Of the list of variables that impact a pitches iVB, spin rate is low on the list.
The reason these pitches move so differently (the fastball rides while the splitter “dives”) is mostly due to different velocity, spin axis and efficiency. Very little of it is spin rate.

Awesome stuff here.
It’s not every day that you punch 100 for the first time, but it was that day for @torenherrick. 11 months ago, Toren reached out to me, saying, "I've got 100 in my bones." At the time, Toren couldn't throw without pain. So what changed?
This offseason, Pitch Profiler is leveling up. We’re adding Magnus and Non-Magnus (Seam-Shifted Wake) movement to the website and models, giving you the most complete picture of pitch movement yet. Here’s a sneak peek at Shohei Ohtani, who generates massive non-Magnus lift on…
Seam-shifted wake effect in baseball means a imbalance of seam create difference in airflow on surface and hence an extra movement of pitch, but it can be confusing so I made a visualizer for it 🧵 1/n en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seam-shif…
