This amateur pitcher's delivery from a decade ago still lives rent free in my head. Enormous power and arm speed.

🗣️ SHOULD YOU THROW IT DOWN THE MIDDLE? 🗣️ Rob Friedman posted a clip talking about this, citing Tangotiger 🍁 and myself. Generally before 2 strikes, I advocate a middle-middle target for a lot of pitchers. 🗣️ "If your stuff is bad, this doesn't work!" Stop having bad stuff. This is a problem you solve by improving your arsenal, not hoping good command solves terrible stuff. The former is much easier than the latter. 🗣️ "If hitters know you are targeting middle, the strategy is less effective!" True. Just like spamming sliders doesn't work anymore, you need to have some element of game theory to your approach. Still, natural variance of a zero-spot target means while middle is the MOST LIKELY spot you hit, you still hit it far less than you would think, because average miss distances of pro pitchers is north of a foot in any direction. tl;dr: don't have bad stuff, target middle-middle with < 2 strikes, earn the right to throw chase/waste pitches.

To help our Driveline Academy kids engage with their training plans more, I built a tool that distills an athlete meeting into an AI voice narrating the plan over a random brainrot video (Subway Surfers, GTA, Minecraft Parkour, etc). I feel regret. Especially since it's a big hit.

You have 400 milliseconds to make your decision to swing/take as a hitter. ⏳ YouTube legend Michael MacKelvie puts that limited time window to the test with his own skin in the game. Can Michael do some damage against D1 pitcher Brock Gillis of Driveline Baseball? Well...

Getting spin in the box with the Driveline Academy players. Breaking balls for strikes in hitters' counts are a key weapon you need to have at the college and pro level. Data-driven development - using the Driveline Baseball Intended Zone Projector.

Ever seen someone with a checkerboard or wand waving it around in a motion capture lab? This is for calibration! An example internal tool video shows how you sweep the checkerboard across the entire camera view - ensuring the camera gets full view. Why is this important? 🧵
