Fr. SS Sherman Johnson Sherman Johnson II | McLennan Baseball Another newcomer who has really impressed is Johnson. The Prep Baseball Georgia native has impressed on both sides of the ball.

Very excited to watch OF Carson Benge (OSU Cowboy Baseball) this spring. Enjoyed an excellent first full season in 2023, hitting .345 with 17 2B, 7 HR, 43 RBI, and more BB (42) than K (32). Hit .345 with 4 RBI in a 9-game stint on the Cape. Wiry and athletic frame at 6'1", 184-pounds. Serious violence in his swing that is geared towards doing damage and getting the ball in the air. Plenty of hand speed, does a nice job consistently generating back spin. Impressive ability driving the baseball to all fields. Sound approach, above average bat-to-ball skills. Big barrel tip, but consistently on time and gets in a good position to hit. Absolutely pulverizes heaters - .529/.691/.824 slash line against FB 91+. Good athlete with a plus arm in RF that will allow him to stick at the position. Also has some experience on the mound where he showed feel to spin and a FB up to 96. Plays the game extremely hard and at one speed. It is abundantly clear that he loves to play! Potential top-2 round selection this July.

1B Tanner Thach (UNCW Baseball) is another college bat to keep close tabs on this season. Thach was drafted by the Giants in the 18th round of the 2022 draft but decided to honor his commitment to the Seahawks. Thach made a significant impact in his first year on campus and posted a .290/.356/.544 slash line with 11 2B, 15 HR—a UNCW single-season freshman record—and 68 RBIs. He outdid himself in 2024 and hit .324/.406/.700 with 11 2B, a UNCW single-season record 27 HR and 75 RBIs in 61 games. Thach’s production didn’t end there, though, as he was named a Cape League all-star, hitting .275/.367/.493 with 6 doubles, 8 HR and 25 RBIs. Thach has a strong, physical build at 6’4” and 220-lbs. He has a crouched stance in the box with an open front side and a medium-high handset. It’s a bit of a noisy load in which he drops and drifts his hands, but Thach does possess plenty of bat speed. He has a steep, uphill swing path, and it’s a violent operation that is geared towards getting the ball up in the air and doing damage. However, it can get long at times. Thach’s carrying tool is undoubtedly his immense power. He has established a now-lengthy track record of power production with both metal and wood, and he has zero issue tapping into it on a game-to-game basis. Thach has home run power to all fields, though his highest quality of contact comes to the pull side. He gets the ball up in the air on a consistent basis, and when he catches the baseball on the sweet spot, it flies. Thach posted maximum exit velocities during the spring and summer of 113.5 mph and 103.1 mph, respectively. At the start of the summer, he would sometimes unnecessarily sell out to get to his power which caused him to top-spin line drives to the pull side, but as the season progressed he was able to break that habit. Thach has plus in-game power to all fields. The biggest key going forward for Thach is for him to continue to make enough contact to get to his power on a regular basis. His bat-to-ball skills are fringy, though he did post a 90% in-zone contact rate against all fastballs. Like a lot of hitters, the root of Thach’s contact struggles are secondary offerings. He’ll have difficulty at times picking up spin out of the hand which leads to both miss and chase. Thach will also tend to whiff and chase against heaters that are either elevated or on the outer-half of the plate. However, he does handle velocity well and last season he hit .533/.588/1.033 against all fastballs 92+. While Thach feasts on righthanded pitching, he hit just .246/.321/.551 last season against lefties. Thach’s power is tremendous, but he’ll need to add a coat or two of polish to his hit-ability as he transitions into professional baseball. First base isn’t the flashiest defensive profile, but Thach moves well around the bag and is a strong athlete at the position. He’s not afraid to range into the four-hole and he is a reassuring anchor on the right side of the infield. Thach has an advanced baseball sense, a trait that shines on a game-to-game basis. While he won’t pitch professionally, expect Thach to log some innings this spring for UNCW. His fastball tops out in the low 90s and flashes some hop in the top of the zone, but he’ll also mix in a mid-70s curveball and a low-80s changeup. The cherry on top with Thach is his makeup, both on and off the field. It’s impossible to stick a grade on it because it’s a 90 on the 20-80 scale. Would have him as a 2nd-early 3rd round type this July. (🎥: UNCW Baseball, Cotuit Kettleers)

FT Sunderland 1-0 Spurs In case of emergency break glass well it’s time to smash it. No wins in 2026 and it’s mid April. When your struggling your luck just doesn’t run your way. A completely freak own goal out of nowhere. Then to make matters worse Brobbey on a yellow card pushes Romero into our keeper injuring them both with our captain having to leave the pitch 🤦🏻‍♂️ Let’s be honest tho what was Romero doing in that 1st half he was a liability lacking any discipline he got his 9th yellow of the season some leadership this was from our so called captain. Was this performance that much different than the previous 13 games ? I don’t think so. Udogie was the notable difference getting himself into positions with his dangerous runs forward and was probably our best player today. The midfield of Gray & Bergvall were just poor. Brobbey caused us non-stop trouble. We just couldn’t handle him. How did have we yet another poor referee? 🤦🏻‍♂️ Kinsky at least looked calm and composed and made a very good save in that 1st half he’s so much better with his feet than Vicario. Richarlison, Solanke, and Muani didn’t link up well at all. Did we deserve to lose to a goal like that ? no but you don’t always get what you deserve.I’m not sure how we are going to escape this mess I really don’t,the confidence and body language of the players got worse as the game went on. 14 games now without a win We’ve lost 32 games now when conceding first did you ever believe we were going to score ? It’s going to take a super human effort from De Zerbi to save this club from going down. We hardly created any clear chances #COYS 🤍💙

Red Sox could definitely use a bit more pop in the lineup but I think we're quickly nearing the point to where the lack of power is being overstated. People talking about this lineup like they're the Pirates or the Marlins. I think they're a middle of the pack power hitting team, not a bottom of the league power hitting team... -I think we all expect 20+ HRs from Roman Anthony, that may even be on the conservative side -Wilyer Abreu was well on his way to a 30 HR season last year prior to his calf injury. Ended up hitting 22 HRs -Willson Contreras has hit 20+ HRs in 4 of his last 5 seasons including last year -Trevor Story hit 25 HRs last year and should be good for another 20+ as long as he can stay on the field -I'd argue the Romy/Mayer platoon will add another 20 HRs, combined for 13 HRs last year despite only 127 ABs out of Mayer -Duran and Rafaela aren't big power guys but you can count on another ~15 a piece from each of them -Triston Casas should return at some point before the ASB. He's been an .800 OPS bat with good power when he's been healthy—29 HRs per 162 so far

SS Marek Houston (Wake Forest Baseball) is one of the premier college infielders in this year's Draft. After earning the starting SS job as a true Freshman, Houston had a standout summer with the Amsterdam Mohawks in which he hit .429/.557/.548 with 4 XBH and 13 RBIs in 17 games. He proceeded to break out last season to the tune of a .326/.434/.516 slash line with 16 2B, 8 HR, and 39 RBIs. Had an impressive summer that was split between the Cape and Team USA. Did what very few college players do anymore and started on the Cape, went to Team USA, and finished out the summer back on the Cape. Was a CCBL All-Star and hit .306/.465/.329 with more BB (26) than Ks (21). Lean, athletic build at 6'3" and 190-lbs. Pro body. Somewhat wide base in the box with a medium-high handset. Puts the majority of his weight on his back side. Minimal load in which he wraps his bat a bit. Small stride with average bat speed. Will eliminate his stride and widen his base in 2-strike counts. Takes a direct path to contact. Compact, contact-oriented operation. Does a nice job of consistently working inside the baseball. The most appealing part of Houston's offensive profile is how polished his hit tool is. Bat-to-ball skills are comfortably plus and last season he ran an overall IZ contact rate of 92%. Pitch recognition skills and swing decisions are both advanced, and this summer on the Cape he worked a remarkably low overall chase rate of 16% - including just 8% against SL. Will use the entire field. It's a bit of a cliche, but he hits the pitch where it's thrown. Hit tool is without a doubt a 55, but closer to a 60 than it is a 55. Biggest question mark right now is his impact and how much is in there. Flashed some pull side thump during the spring, but it's below-average power with wood. Again though, you're buying the hit tool. Adding impact both this year and beyond is key, though. Houston's calling card is undoubtedly his defense. Pro shortstop through and through. Silky smooth actions, range both up the middle and to his arm side. Comfortable attacking the baseball and throwing on the run/from different arm angles. Soft hands with an above-average arm. Instincts are high level. He does a great job of staying behind the baseball then working THROUGH it on a line. The epitome of "suave!" Top-40 overall type this July. (🎥: Wake Forest Baseball)

In an unorthodox method 26 years ago today, Alabama Football won its 21st conference championship by using five quarterbacks and intercepting four passes as the No. 8-ranked Crimson Tide crushed the No. 5-ranked Florida Gators, 34-7, on Dec. 4, 1999 inside the Georgia Dome. Freddie Milons played wide receiver, quarterback and returned punts en route to his most valuable player performance in the SEC Championship Game. In the opening minutes of the fourth quarter, he lined up under center, took the snap, started to run to his left before reversing direction for a 77-yard touchdown run to give Alabama a 22-7 lead. Alabama started Andrew Zow at quarterback and during the game used Tyler Watts, Milons, Luke Tucker and Jonathan Richey. The Crimson Tide defense forced four interceptions, three by Jesse Palmer, and held Florida to just 114 yards of total offense (83 passing, 31 rushing), the lowest in the Steve Spurrier era. Seconds after the touchdown run by Milons, Reggie Grimes intercepted a tipped pass from Palmer and returned it 38 yards for another score that pushed the Crimson Tide advantage to 28-7. Shaun Alexander finished the scoring with 3:58 remaining on a 7-yard touchdown run that completed the season sweep of the Gators. Earlier that year, Alabama traveled to Gainesville and left with a wild 40-39 overtime victory. The Crimson Tide led 12-7 at halftime on a 27-yard touchdown pass from Zow to Jason McAddley and two Ryan Pflugner field goals (29 and 48 yards).

This baseball game took a turn for the worse in a hurry. The much bigger coach comes out to argue and gets in the umpire’s face, chest to chest. The umpire shoves him away and then the coach comes in and grabs him by the neck. The umpire takes a swing but misses and then finally the other coaches come onto the field to break everything up. Some people said that the umpire pushed the coach first, which he did. Others said when someone is chest to chest with you and in your face, he had every right to try and keep some space and distance between them. The umpire tells the coaches to call the cops because it was assault and one of the parents agrees with him. But someone said he pushed first so who is the assault on? This is wrong from every angle. Look at that poor catcher. He doesn’t even know what to do. Another day, another baseball game for young men ruined by the coach. What in the heck are we teaching our young players? It would take $500 bucks for me to even think of umpiring in this day and age. People are crazy. Who do you think was at fault? The umpire for shoving him first? The coach for arguing in the first place and grabbing him by the neck? Both of them? Sad state of affairs all around.

(Very long post) Thoughts on Marvel Rivals release day Tldr; Rivals is fucking awesome. 1. Six and a half hours of playtime and I had ONE game server fail to load. No game crashes, no server overloads, no queue times, and one single solitary FPS drop. 2. The monetization is the most consumer-friendly system I’ve seen from a game in a very, VERY long time. A $5 battlepass that you can continue to redeem rewards from even after the end of the season? A 1:1 exchange rate of base to premium currency? No character/map paywalls? That’s absolutely WILD to me. 3. I can’t remember the last time I’ve had trouble getting off of my PC because I find myself saying, “just one more game” over and over again. Actually, yes I can - it was the alpha and beta tests. I cannot get enough of this game. 4. Every character has such a fun learning curve, I’ve never been a DPS main in any game. Ever. But I find myself freely swapping between DPS and support because the mechanics are just so damn clean and everything is fluid; I’ve yet to play a character I didn’t love. Movement is incredibly fun, especially in third person. Which brings me to: 5. I have always hated third person games, especially shooters. I don’t know what it is, but something about the way Rivals implemented it works insanely well. Corner peeking adds so much versatility your play style and I’m absolutely loving it. 6. TEAM PLAY AND SYNERGY IS ENCOURAGED!! That right there is EXACTLY what Overwatch has been missing. We lost so much of that when we did away with double tanks and the game went from a team based FPS to a tank v tank boss raid. Rivals has gone the opposite direction by implementing team-ups that will change every season to keep metas fresh. 7. TTK feels GREAT and I actually have a big impact in every team fight. That kind of player agency is something that’s also been missing from Overwatch for a long time. 8. Nerf Iron Fist.

Drew Faurot (FSU Baseball) was one of the more underrated players in the CCBL this summer. The Seminole will likely start up the middle next spring after slashing .263/.342/.414 in 28 games with a wood bat in Brewster. The switch-hitting middle infielder has a similar stance as a LHH and RHH and shows a high leg kick upon load. It's a violent hack through the zone with exceptional bat speed and was able to show decent pull-side pop from both sides with 6 2B & 3 HR this summer. Faurot was third among qualified SS in hits (26), OPS (.756) and second in HR (3) and SLG% (.414). He looked smooth defensively and showed the ability to play SS or 2B after splitting time at both spots on the Cape. Solid range with average speed and a fringe arm at SS/2B but can get the ball out of his glove quickly. He should stick at either position at the pro level. Pitch recognition could improve as he struggled at times with the slider and change, resulting in a 55% miss and 42% miss rate, respectively. He had a 30.3 K% on the Cape but has a career a 40.9 FB% in college. Would also like to see some more line drives via hard hit balls after having a below average 42.6 GB% while at school. His second Cape stint showed that improvement is coming. Faurot's hard work ethic stands out. He's always watching film, taking hacks, fielding grounders - looking to improve in all aspects of his game. He's going to be an early Day 2 draft prospect in '25 with projectable power and versatility both offensively and defensively.

Announcing the Operators Only Podcast ​ An experiment I'm running with Rameel Sheikh ⚙️ where we talk to startup operators who built iconic startups and/or are building the next breakout companies. ​ First episode is with Preeya Goenka 🐝, the COO at beehiiv 🐝. ​ - Preeya joined Beehiiv as employee #7 and Tyler Denk 🐝's chief of staff. - In case you live under a rock, Beehiiv's one of the fastest growing companies in tech right now. Impossible to be on Twitter and not hear about them. - She's played a big role in their success. - Excited for more folks to get to know her story and see some of the behind the scenes of how they're building Beehiiv. - We talked about her journey prior to Beehiiv, how she met Tyler, why/when founders should hire a chief of staff (including why my tweet saying the opposite is wrong), acquihires, and more. ​ Give the show a listen on Youtube, Spotify, and wherever you listen to podcasts. (link further in the thread) ​ ----- ​ A couple notes on why I wanted to do this: ​ - I've long felt that startup operators are some of the most unsung heroes in tech. - We constantly hear the same stories from the same founders (especially CEOs) and VCs involved in successful companies. - Much less common to hear from the early employees that made big but less appreciated contributions to making these companies successful. - These folks are the unsung heroes of the startup world. We think their stories should be told more often. - Lastly, I think we need spaces for more nuanced conversations with builders in startups. Too much fluff and surface level narrative in most tech media. Not enough depth about the craft of the game itself. ​ Transparently, I don't think we've yet created the perfect representation of what I want to exist. But I think we've made a good start and will iterate from here. ​ --- ​ This is very much a WIP. And we're new to podcasting. Figuring out the format as we go. ​ Any feedback on how we can make the show better, questions to ask, guests to have on, etc.... is welcome. 🙏

Day - 18 of Ayodhya Padayathra🚩 Another day, another divine experience🥹🧡🙏🏻 I reached this temple after walking 15 kms from morning. I haven't eaten anything since morning. After reaching, i enquired whether there are any hotels nearby to eat. But I got to know that one hotel is 1 km ahead and another is half a km behind. I didn't have the energy to go. So, I came back and sat in the temple. I said, "Amma, there are no hotels nearby, you arrange food for me. If not, I'll eat the chudua which my mom gave me while starting my yatra. If you arrange some food, I'll eat it and take some rest. If not, I'll eat chudua and take rest. I'll eat something in the evening. It's upto you. I'm not that hungry either." While I was saying these lines, 2 boys (one is in 11th class and another is 9th class) entered the temple to clean it as navratri celebrations are starting tomorrow. I also cleaned the temple along with them. While we're cleaning, the younger boy went out and came back with a plate of food. I asked him why he brought the food. He said, it's for me. I asked him who asked you to bring it, for which, he didn't answer. I didn't even tell him anything about my yatra or where was I coming from or where I was going. I looked at Ammavaru with a smile on my face and ate it while having tears in my eyes, thinking I demanded ammavaru for food, yet she sent me some food with so much love 🧡🥹 I'm really lucky to experience such miracles everyday in my journey to Ayodhya. Jai Sree Ram 🙏🏻🚩 Jai mata di 🙏🏻🚩 #AyodhyaBatasari
