Hack attack with stride. He and his agent/interpreter traveled 18 hours to spend two days with me. HLP will now invade the Japanese league 🙂 It’s difficult teaching through an interpreter. But it all went very well. I’ve had two come from Korea. Another is coming from Japan next month. They treat me like I’m royalty, Judy. 🙂I’m thankful to be able to experience and our cultural differences. Difference, yes. But a common goal……barreling the baseball. 🙂🙂🙂🙂

Btw. 32mph from 16’. Reaction time ….same as 110mph pitch. I said reaction time.

What I like about this no-stride session is that he's rear leg coiled BUT looks like 50/50. Snap and tilt releases the energy.

Fernando Tatis Jr is hitting .242 with a 3.5° average launch angle and a career-low 20% pull rate. Everyone has ideas and analysis on how to fix Fernando Tatis Jr’s swing. It’s pretty awful and I can’t take anymore of this, I have to say something because I haven’t seen a single person give the right answer. I’ve seen multiple people talk about timing mechanisms like toe tap, stride, and leg lift in his swing mechanics that have absolutely nothing to do with his problem. That reverting to past timing mechanisms would somehow help him. THEY ARE ALL WRONG Because they’re all looking in the wrong place. This isn’t a stride problem or timing problem. It’s a tilt problem. Stride, leg lift, and toe tap are timing mechanisms. They control WHEN the hips fire not HOW the bat moves through the zone. A hitter with a Sosa leg kick and a no-stride Ichiro stance can produce identical launch angles.Timing has no lever that touches the bat at contact. What actually sets launch angle is attack angle or the vertical direction the bat is traveling at the moment it meets the ball. Swing up through the zone = ball lifts Swing flat = grounders Swing down = choppers Attack angle is the only mechanical input that matters for elevation and attack angle isn’t random. It’s a direct output of shoulder tilt. When the trail shoulder drops below the lead shoulder at contact, the entire swing axis tilts. The bat is now forced to travel upward through the zone. More tilt > steeper attack angle > higher launch angle. Period. Tatis’s attack angle tells the entire story: 2023: +12° attack angle, +1° pull-side direction/25 HRs 2024 : +10° attack angle. -2° oppo direction 21HRs in 104 games 2025: +8° attack angle, 0° direction/25 HRs, healthy 2026: +5° attack angle, −5° oppo direction His swing has flattened AND drifted away from his pull side. Both are tilt collapse. That −5° oppo attack direction is the giveaway. When you lose tilt, your bat doesn’t just flatten it also gets steered toward the opposite field, because a level swing naturally pushes the barrel away from your pull side. He’s not late. He’s not under-striding. His axis collapsed Over the last few years and it’s worse than ever this year. This explains the 20% pull air rate too. Pulling the ball in the air requires positive attack angle AND a contact point out front. (Ramon Laureanos 2025 attack Angle was +14) If you tinker with timing on a flat swing, an earlier contact point just produces a pull-side grounder. The direction changes. The launch angle does not. Let me break it down for you: Stride > Weight Shift > Hip Rotation >TILT > ATTACK ANGLE > BAT PATH > Contact > Launch Angle Stride is four steps upstream. Tilt is the gate. Attack angle is the output that actually moves the ball. So now we know what’s wrong, how do we fix him? Souza and the Padres staff need to focus on the following; 1.Restore 8–12° rear-high shoulder tilt 2.Get attack angle back to +10° to +12° with neutral or +1° pull direction 3.THEN evaluate timing tweaks 4. If someone is telling him to flatten out his swing or to let the ball travel more PLEASE STOP DOING THAT. That doesn’t work for him You cannot time your way to elevation. Fix the tilt. Attack angle returns. Pull air follows. Please watch the video to see how his swing has gotten worse and flatter. We only have bat path data starting in 2023

$Made with seedance 2.5 Prompt ⬇️ 0:00–0:05: Lightning-Fast Entry & Airflow Evasion Visual Details: The camera follows the female protagonist sprinting at full speed from behind. The massive greatsword of the Red-Faced Heavenly King sweeps horizontally from the right, its enormous blade covering half the sky. Stylish Action: Instead of simply dodging, the woman performs a sideways ground-level slide while running at high speed. Friction between her body and the ground sends sparks flying. The sword edge passes dangerously close to her baseball bat with a deafening whoosh. Attack: The instant the slide ends, she uses her momentum, plants one hand on the ground, spins up to her feet, and swings the baseball bat in a wide arc. She strikes the side of the passing sword with tremendous force, producing a crisp wood-against-steel impact, then uses the recoil to accelerate toward the left. 0:05–0:10: Midair Footwork & Precise Strike Visual Details: The Green-Faced Heavenly King leans forward and drives his spear into the ground like a power drill. Stylish Action: Instead of retreating, the woman advances. She runs vertically upward, taking three steps along the shaft of the spear embedded in the ground. Attack: At the highest point, she flips through the air with a 360-degree rotation, grips the baseball bat with both hands, and puts her entire body weight into the strike. Slow-Motion Impact: The baseball bat precisely strikes the Green-Faced Heavenly King's shin joint. The painted surface cracks apart, sending wood fragments and glowing “wood-spirit” particles bursting outward in a Black Myth-style visual effect. 0:10–0:18: Extreme Space & Elegant Spinning Evasion Visual Details: The heavy weapons of the Blue-Faced and Black-Faced Heavenly Kings—a halberd and a vajra—close in from opposite directions, crossing over each other and trapping her in a narrow space. Stylish Action: The woman demonstrates incredible agility within the tiny gap between the weapons, performing two rapid side flips followed by a backflip. Attack: The instant she lands from the backflip, she thrusts the baseball bat forward like a short spear strike, using the end of the bat to precisely hit the descending vajra of the Black-Faced Heavenly King. Using the impact for momentum, she slides backward several meters, leaving two deep, elegant grooves across the stone floor. 0:18–0:25: Combo Destruction & Execution Moment Visual Details: The attack focuses on the already-damaged leg of the Green-Faced Heavenly King. Stylish Action: The woman enters a high-speed movement state, becoming a blur as she circles around the giant's enormous pillar-like leg. Attack Combo: First Strike: She swings the bat directly into the damaged crack, knocking off a large chunk of wood. Second Strike: She spins the bat once in her hand, switches to a reverse grip, and strikes the exact same point again. Third Strike: She leaps high into the air, braces one knee against the statue's leg for leverage, then delivers a devastating downward strike. Close-Up: In slow motion, the baseball bat is shown embedded deep inside the wood. Green and purple mineral pigments scatter through the air like snow as a chain reaction of fractures tears through the entire giant leg from the inside. 0:25–0:30: Devastating Finale & Iconic Ending Visual Details: The 20-meter-tall Green-Faced Heavenly King begins to tilt and collapse. Stylish Action: As the giant statue's fall creates violent tremors and powerful shockwaves, the woman keeps running forward without looking back. She parkours across the collapsing environment, pushes off a flying stone brick, and leaps into a safe area. Ending Action: Behind her, the enormous wooden body crashes into the ground, creating a massive cloud of dust and destruction. After landing, the woman elegantly spins the baseball bat in her hand, resembling the final motion of sheathing a samurai sword, then casually rests the bat over her shoulder$

A common hitting flaw that is rarely corrected and can exposes certain hitters at higher levels, is “leaking” … the player’s front side is “running away” from contact prematurely. Sometimes also called “spinning off” the ball. This means energy is escaping the swing because of a chain of events that usually begins with the incorrect action of the stride foot. Correctly engaging the stride foot into the ground, called “foot-plant,” allows the body to efficiently sequence. As a result, the swing is shorter and barrel stays in the hitting zone longer. The BIG key is we have to be able to ***control our front knee*** before starting to swing. If a hitter can control their front knee and their front side a hair longer, stay behind contact, and attack the inside of the ball, it creates more whip.…(bat speed) and improves plate coverage. You might need to watch the video a couple times, because there are various ways to stride that allow the hitter to control their front knee. It is not a one size fits all action. And hitters who have sick power and want to pull the ball intentionally might actually “leak and clear” on purpose. But players who like to stay to middle of the field, might want to see what the initial movement into foot plant looks like. **** Remember, what happens to the front foot (stride foot) AFTER contact has little consequence. Often heavy torque causes it to fly open, or roll on side of foot. That’s all ok.

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.

My son and I went to the gym late last night to work out some stuff after 3 HS games worth of not hitting the way that he wanted. The session had both a data component and a feel / cue component. As a 17 year old who now has high 60's / low to mid 70's bat speed he has struggled in the last week - specifically against low velocity pitching - to let the ball travel deep enough to get good flush contact. Point being that we had a specific thing to work on. So on the technology side we're using Blast to bat speed, attack angle and VBA, and we're using HitTrax to monitor contact depth in addition to the outcome stuff - exit velocity, launch angle, distance and direction. We also were using two different pitching machines - one offset to the left side, the other offset to the right side. In terms of cues what we ended up with was: - As deep as possible while still being on time - High pitch posture, flat bat path and adjust off if needed But along the way we tried all sorts of stuff - everything from trying to hit a ball to the hot dog cart in oppo foul territory off the left hand off-set machine to trying to find middle of the field ball flight from the right hand offset machine to just going pure let it eat anywhere ball flight off of either machine to score a runner on 2B. In my mind, the best instruction environment for hitting is just a conversation that revolves around: - What were we trying to do vs what did we actually do - What signal can we get about why we did what we did - What adjustments do we need to make to bring our results closer to the intended outcome on the next swing But if the instructor and the player don't even speak the same language...man that conversation is going to be pretty limited in its effectiveness. Because he's 17 we're now able to have these kinds of conversations - with all of these various layers. But the critically important part of the whole thing is that this is an actual two way conversation. Meaning that he's telling me how he feels, we're looking at the data to correlate the feeling to the outcome, we decide on how or if we need to adjust intention for the next swing and we just wash, rinse and repeat that same cycle over and over and over. I wouldn't - and I didn't - coach him this way when he was 12. We used the same tech stack, but the data we paid attention to was a lot more limited. Because that was the level of depth he was able to have a productive conversation about at that time. I'm also exceptionally fortunate that at 17 years old he's still playing and I still get to have these conversations with him.

REAL HITTERS. REAL MOVEMENT. REAL TEACHING. 1/ Will Clark — Bottom Hand + Shoulder Angle = The Down Comes First Clark explains the bottom arm works with the shoulders on the down. That’s posture. That’s angle. That’s barrel organization. • High tire / high tee • The down organizes the up • Movement creates path Not cues movement. 2/ Mookie Betts — Shoulders Stay Above the Ball Mookie explains keeping the shoulders above the ball is what lets the rear elbow match plane. • Shoulders set the plane • Rear elbow gets on plane through posture • High-tire work reinforces it Not “turn the barrel early.” Movement creates plane → plane creates path. 3/ Will Clark (Again) — Dusty Baker: “Take Your Rear Hip to the Ball” That’s femur action: down → in → under. Same pattern as the throw. No spinning. No artificial torque. Just human movement sequencing. 4/ Jeff Kent — Oppo Walk-Throughs Reveal Direction Kent wasn’t doing a gimmick. He was showing pure direction under momentum: • posture stable • direction honest • top-hand release real • body organized Elite hitters move with direction, not against it. 5/ Nolan Arenado — Nose Down, Eye Down, Torso Completing Arenado is positional integrity: • nose down through contact • backside eye down the line • shoulders matching pitch plane • torso completing around center mass • rear hip + rear elbow staying connected He’s not repeating a swing he’s repeating movement sequencing. 6/ Mike Trout — Top-Hand Release Into Dab Finish Low pitch = top-hand dab by the ear because his body created the natural up. Not tilt. Not manipulation. The sequence finishes itself. 7/ Shohei Ohtani — The Clearest Example of Force Coupling on Earth Ohtani is biomechanics in HD: • pelvis gaining ground • torso stacking over front side • rear glute throwing the body forward • rear knee turning down → in → under • rear lat anchoring the hands • backside crashing into a braced front side That collision IS force coupling. It transfers all the stored energy into the ball. No leaks. No wasted power. Power comes from movement, not cues. The body creates the swing the swing never creates the body. 8/ Adrian Beltre — Knee Down, Femur Action, True Natural Up Beltre on a low pitch is a biomechanics lecture: • knee works down • femur turns down → up • torso turns deeper behind the ball • rear hip + torso stay connected • lift comes from turning UNDER and BEHIND the pitch No fake tilt. No dragging. No hand manipulation. Natural lift is a movement outcome, not a cue. 9/ Alex Bregman — The Miss Tells the Truth On a miss he still shows elite control: • heel-to-toe • back shoulder to cheek • rear foot stable • torso stacked • posture balanced If a hitter can control chaos, the movement is real. 10/ Frank Thomas — Top-Hand Release + Back-Foot Release Direction and posture decide release. Not cues. Not drills. Just pure human movement. THE TRUTH THE INDUSTRY IGNORES Everything hitters need is right in front of them if you study movement not just the swing. The swing is the final 30%. The other 70% is: • shoulder angles • femur action • ground-force anticipation • center-mass control • torso completion • force coupling • front-side bracing • rear-lat anchoring That’s the REAL engine of elite hitting. Most instructors: ✓ study the swing ✗ ignore the movement So they miss: • how the down organizes the up • how posture sets plane • how the femur organizes direction • how the pelvis gains ground • how the torso completes • how force coupling transfers energy • how adjustability is created If you don’t study movement, you will never understand hitting.

He was showing pure direction under momentum: • posture stable • direction honest • top-hand release real • body organized Elite hitters move with direction, not against it. 5/ Nolan Arenado — Nose Down, Eye Down, Torso Completing Arenado is positional integrity: • nose down through contact • backside eye down the line • shoulders matching pitch plane • torso completing around center mass • rear hip + rear elbow staying connected He’s not repeating a swing he’s repeating movement sequencing. 6/ Mike Trout — Top-Hand Release Into Dab Finish Low pitch = top-hand dab by the ear because his body created the natural up. Not tilt. Not manipulation. The sequence finishes itself. 7/ Shohei Ohtani — The Clearest Example of Force Coupling on Earth Ohtani is biomechanics in HD: • pelvis gaining ground • torso stacking over front side • rear glute throwing the body forward • rear knee turning down → in → under • rear lat anchoring the hands • backside crashing into a braced front side That collision IS force coupling. It transfers all the stored energy into the ball. No leaks. No wasted power. Power comes from movement, not cues. The body creates the swing the swing never creates the body. 8/ Adrian Beltre — Knee Down, Femur Action, True Natural Up Beltre on a low pitch is a biomechanics lecture: • knee works down • femur turns down → up • torso turns deeper behind the ball • rear hip + torso stay connected • lift comes from turning UNDER and BEHIND the pitch No fake tilt. No dragging. No hand manipulation. Natural lift is a movement outcome, not a cue. 9/ Alex Bregman — The Miss Tells the Truth On a miss he still shows elite control: • heel-to-toe • back shoulder to cheek • rear foot stable • torso stacked • posture balanced If a hitter can control chaos, the movement is real. 10/ Frank Thomas — Top-Hand Release + Back-Foot Release Direction and posture decide release. Not cues. Not drills. Just pure human movement. THE TRUTH THE INDUSTRY IGNORES Everything hitters need is right in front of them if you study movement not just the swing. The swing is the final 30%. The other 70% is: • shoulder angles • femur action • ground-force anticipation • center-mass control • torso completion • force coupling • front-side bracing • rear-lat anchoring That’s the REAL engine of elite hitting. Most instructors: ✓ study the swing ✗ ignore the movement So they miss: • how the down organizes the up • how posture sets plane • how the femur organizes direction • how the pelvis gains ground • how the torso completes • how force coupling transfers energy • how adjustability is created If you don’t study movement, you will never understand hitting.

OF Nolan Schubart (OSU Cowboy Baseball) has some of the most impressive raw power of any college hitter in this year's Draft class. Burst onto the scene as a true Freshman and hit .338/.451/.667 with 20 2B, 17 HRs and 74 RBIs. Schubart followed with an excellent Sophomore campaign to the tune of a .370/.513/.838 slash line with 10 2B, 23 HRs and 68 RBIs. Both his 23 HRs and 68 RBIs led the Big 12. Schubart was a Second Team All-American and earned an invitation to Team USA. Prior to departing for Cary, Schubart had a productive 9-game stint on the Cape in which he hit .300/.476/.667 with 2 2B and 3 HRs. Also showed well for Team USA. Schubart has a pro body at 6'5" and 223-lbs with strength throughout. Particular length in his lower-half. Stands tall in the box with a medium-high handset and his hands in line with his back shoulder. Small stride, drops his hands and wraps his bat a bit in his load. Swing is tailored towards getting the ball up in the air and doing damage. No shortage of bat speed. Hips really fire. Key is keeping the operation direct and connected. Not to get too hyperbolic, but the biggest key to Schubart reaching his ceiling is how much he'll hit. More specifically, how much he'll make contact. Had an overall contact rate of just 63% and an overall IZ contact rate of 71%. Between the Cape and USA it was 68% and 78%, respectively. Particularly susceptible to spin in the bottom and outer-halves of the zone, and heaters in the top-1/2 of the zone. While there are swing-and-miss concerns, Schubart's swing decisions are pretty sound and he chased at an overall clip of 21% last spring. If he can do a better job of picking up spin out of the hand—which in turn would up his contact rate—that will help him maximize his hit tool. Schubart's calling card is his thunderous raw power. His ability to cover the plate with authority is impressive, and he can hammer the baseball to all fields. It's legit HR power to all parts of the yard, the key is just making enough contact to tap into his immense power on a consistent basis in pro ball. Schubart's impact is real (to say the least) and last spring he posted a 90th-percentile EV of 111.6 and a Max EV of 115. Even in his brief stint on the Cape his Max EV was 105.6. It's 70 raw power. Defensively, Schubart has held down LF to this point but he seems destined for 1B/DH professionally. You're buying his power and hoping you can add a couple coats of polish to his hit tool. 2nd Round type for me this July. (📽️: OSU Cowboy Baseball)

Silence isn't peace. It is preparation. This Imam in the heart of Europe is stripping away the mask. The message to his followers is chillingly pragmatic: "Do not attack now, not because it is wrong, but because we are currently too weak." He is preaching a doctrine of strategic deception. The instruction is to lay low, avoid raising alarms, and operate under the radar. This isn't integration. It is a tactical pause. They are simply biding their time, building strength quietly. Make no mistake: once the math changes and they feel "strong enough," the order will shift from "wait" to "strike." Ignoring this isn't tolerance. It is willful blindness. This is not a sermon. It is a war plan. Here is the English translation of his actual speech: "The message of Islam has to be transmitted little by little, not outright, not the whole thing. One of his companions tells him: 'if you allow it, we'll attack the inhabitants of Minnen [Mina] tomorrow.' His companions were ready. From the moment they swore and from the moment they understood the role they had to play in society, they were ready. Right away. They didn't wait two days, three days, a week, a month, a year, like we do today: we wait, we let it go. Not today: tomorrow! And we continue. From the moment they understood their role, they understood the message of Islam right away, they wanted to react; but the prophet (PBUH) tells them: 'Nothing justifies this attack for now, go back to your camps.' Because his companions, back then, they were in a situation of weakness. And when one is in a situation of weakness, one has to wait a little. First you have to acquire strength to be able to react. We today, dear brothers, dear sisters, as the Muslim community of France, we have to work slowly. Without crying wolf. We have to work to multiply our actions insh'allah, without telling everybody, without making too much noise, because today our problem is the noise, so there's sometimes nothing, there isn't much [we don't have results]. We have to follow the prophet (PBUH), how he transmitted his message, how he transmitted his dawah. The second sermon of allegiance." The Blueprint Exposed: The Islamic Art of War (Short Version) By: Ofer Binshtok Islam wages a continuous, global war against non-Muslims. This conflict varies in method and intensity but has persisted for approximately 1,400 years and continues indefinitely, as commanded by the Quran and Muhammad. Where non-Muslims grow weary of conflict and seek appeasement, believing they have achieved tranquility through treaties or migration policies, Islam sees a tactical opportunity. During these periods of “peace,” Islam builds its strength from within and without, waiting for the moment it has the upper hand to attack in the most brutal way possible. This strategy is the Islamic Art of War, rooted in the Quran and the Sunnah. The Doctrine Quran 8:39 – The Goal: A world containing only Muslims through war. Quran 98:6 – The Method: Demonization of non-Muslims. Quran 3:28 – The Tactic: Deception of non-Muslims. Quran 47:35 – The Rule: Do not seek peace when you have the upper hand. Attack. Quran 8:60 – The Preparation: Use Hudna (ceasefire) to prepare for war. Quran 9:123 – The Target: Attack nearby non-Muslims first. Quran 9:5 – The Mandate: Kill every non-Muslim in the world. Historical Precedent In 622 AD, Muhammad migrated from Mecca to Medina (Yathrib), where he was received as a refugee by the Jews who controlled the region. They granted him shelter. Within eight years, after building his strength, Muhammad eliminated the Jews and other non-Muslims in the area. In 628 AD, viewing his forces as weaker than his enemies, Muhammad signed a ten-year Hudna (truce) in Hudaibiya with the Quraysh tribe. By 630 AD, once his power was sufficiently solidified, he violated the agreement, conquered Mecca with ease, and eradicated all other cultures. Muhammad’s Sunnah is binding in Islam (Quran 33:21). Every Muslim is commanded to emulate these words and deeds eternally.

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)

🚨CORRUPTION IN SMITH COUNTY, TEXAS - PART TWO - NO WITNESSES. NO TESTIMONY. JUST A POWERPOINT: 🚨 INSIDE THE SMITH COUNTY GRAND JURY THAT NO-BILLED THE DEPUTY WHO KILLED JONATHAN LAYTON A SECOND THREAD - ALL PARTS WILL ENRAGE YOU 🧵 Ten days after Jonathan Layton was shot, Deputies Braylon Barnes and Raj Baran were interviewed by the Texas Rangers. They interviews were not under oath, and with their attorneys were present. Comparing the interviews to the body-camera footage reveals stark contradictions. Despite the body-camera video contradicting Deputy Barnes’ unsworn account, the Texas Rangers and Smith County District Attorney did not call Deputy Barnes, Deputy Baran or any members of the Layton family present to testify under oath. The video clearly shows that Jonathan came to the front door of the home he shared with his mother and brother with a handgun. Every citizen has the right to bear arms in their home. The video shows Jonathan held the gun in his left hand when he came through the door, and transitioned it to his right, dominant hand once he was in the threshold. The video indicates that Jonathan used his right hand to open the door his brother Freddy had closed to keep the dogs inside. As he came out, he transitioned the gun from his left to his right hand, but never placed his finger on the trigger and never used his thumb to grip the pistol. At all times in the video, the gun is pointed straight down Jonathan’s right side with his finger off the trigger, outside the trigger guard and extended down the barrel of the gun. Deputy Baran saw the gun first. He drew his weapon and ordered Jonathan to “drop the gun.” Barnes appears not to react to the gun at all. His hands are resting on his utility belt, his shoulders are relaxed and his feet are positioned parallel to the doorway. After Baran gives the command to “drop the gun,” two seconds pass before Barnes draws his weapon, ejects a live round from the chamber and then fires four bullets in less than a second. Although Barnes in his statement claims he only fired twice, the video shows four rounds being fired. Three struck Jonathan, including one in his back. Deputy Baran never fired. Barnes would later tell the Texas Rangers that during those two seconds (1) he noticed a blank stare, apparently looking closely at Jonathan’s eyes; (2) he saw Jonathan’s finger move inside the trigger guard; (3) that Jonathan bladed toward him; (4) Jonathan squared up to him; and (5) that he saw Jonathan’s gun hand start to come up into a firing position. The video supports none of Barnes’ account. Deputy Barnes Texas Rangers’ statement describes Jonathan as positioning himself to shoot. Blading is when a person turns to the side in an attack position, similar to what a boxer does before they throw a jab. But for a person to blade toward an officer to shoot them, they would turn so their gun was on the same side as the officer. The video shows Jonathan turning to his right, with his gun still in his right hand, placing his body between the officers and the gun. Jonathan’s trigger finger is not visible, and neither is the gun. Next Barnes describes Jonathan as squaring up toward him. When a person squares up, they turn to face the person. Jonathan never turned to face either deputy. Barnes next states that Jonathan started to raise his gun. The video shows the only arm that Jonathan raised was his left arm to grasp the doorknob to go back inside. When he was shot, the still video shows Jonathan turning away from Barnes placing his body between Barnes and the gun, looking down at the doorknob and grasping it with his left hand. The lawsuit alleges that Jonathan never pointed the gun at either deputy, never lunged toward them and never turned toward Barnes. The allegations in the lawsuit appear consistent with the video. (In this video, you will see bodycam footage, and a clip of the interview between Barnes and the Texas Rangers)

🇷🇺🇺🇸 CIA Director John Ratcliffe made a rare trip to Moscow, and senior White House officials were reportedly kept in the dark beforehand. Unusual enough to suggest this came directly from Trump. The most reported explanation is a warning not to hit NATO, following a Wall Street Journal report that Russia was planning some form of probing attack on alliance territory. One day after that meeting, Russia's Foreign Ministry warned the UK it could strike British ammunition inside or beyond Ukraine. The strategic case for a Russian strike is uncomfortable, because it is rational. NATO is already a participant through Ukraine. Russia is already retaliating asymmetrically; the drone at a German airport, the Polish railway sabotage. The midterms mean Trump cannot afford a second front, Europe is split, and the Iran war exposed how thin Western capacity really is. A limited strike, kept below the Article 5 threshold, could frighten Europe into ending the war faster. There is even an argument that Russia would welcome retaliation, since a Western response would hand Putin the rally-around-the-flag moment his repeated NATO warnings have started to lose. The case against it is Putin's own record. He has fought this war with one hand tied deliberately, resisting his own hawks who want German drone factories hit. He is trying to finish this war on favourable terms, not open a sequel. And there is a third possibility: that parts of Europe would not mind being struck. With the economic case for the European project weakening, militarism is what remains to justify the alliance. And an attack on NATO means Washington cannot leave. The flaw is that it may produce the opposite result. A U.S. short on interceptors and unable to close out Iran has every reason to walk away instead. Nobody throws the first punch at a much bigger man unless they're certain someone bigger is standing behind them. Europe is no longer certain. Brandon Weichert
