The passenger uprising on Flight 93 still gets to me. The indomitable power of the American spirit. Just absolute patriots and heroes of Western civilization. There should be statues to them.

Fastball shape is something I’ve started paying a lot more attention to when evaluating HS/JUCO arms. I watched a guy in the playoffs last year throwing 85-87 mph two-seamers with a ton of arm-side run. He was facing a lineup with multiple P4 commits and still stood out as one of the best players on the field. Hitters just couldn’t pick it up. That stuck with me. 85-87 isn’t going to jump off the radar gun, but an outlier shape that good hitters consistently struggle with gives you something really interesting to build around. That’s also why I love seeing young arms experiment with different fastball shapes. You could have a five-pitch arsenal where three of the five are technically fastballs. If a four-seam, sinker and cutter are coming out of the same tunnel and taking three different shapes, think about how difficult that makes life on a hitter. Compare that to knowing you can sit on a four-seam that’s coming 50% of the time. My advice to young pitchers: experiment. Try different grips and shapes and figure out what your arm naturally does well. Then learn the purpose of each pitch, where it plays and what types of hitters it works against. You don’t need to chase someone else’s idea of a “perfect” fastball. Find the shapes that make your arsenal difficult to hit.

"Who has the strongest SOS?" "The SEC." "Why?" "Because they play a bunch of SEC teams." "How good are SEC teams?" "Really good, because they play a bunch of SEC teams." "How do you know if SEC teams are better than teams from other conferences?" "They are better, because they play a lot more SEC teams than teams from other conferences."
This season, the SEC will start a 9-game conference schedule 🗓️ A likely result of the additional conference game is that every SEC team has a strength of schedule in the Top-20, according to ESPN Analytics.

RT @kyhighs: Nothing says “Baseball in 2026” like the first hitter in the All-Star Game having a .237 batting average.
