𝐏𝐈𝐓𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐒𝐏𝐎𝐓𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 𝚙𝚛𝚎𝚜𝚎𝚗𝚝𝚎𝚍 𝚋𝚢 True Pitch Mounds Saydel’s Brady Hicks (2027, Prep Baseball Uncommitted) already has an impressive pedigree. The now six-foot-five right-hander has already experienced the Junior Future Games (2023) and Super Sophomore Games (2024), and if all goes well this spring, he should be in consideration for this year’s Future Games team. Ranked 3rd in the state and 192nd nationally, Hicks has a frame that oozes projection with a quick, compact arm stroke into a three-quarter slot. He hides the ball well and has the arm speed that allows his fastball to get on hitters quickly. Some of his heaters run arm-side more than others, and the ones that do give right-handed hitters issues. The fastball has been up to 88.8 MPH on Trackman, and we saw that velocity upheld in-game during the fall tournament circuit. Hicks’ low-80s slider is a swing-and-miss weapon with late movement, and the two pitches are a strong foundation. This past summer Hicks paced all freshman arms with 95 strikeouts (24th among all pitchers) in 65.1 innings pitched. The 95 strikeouts from a freshman pitcher was the most since Blaine Harpenau’s 101 total in the 2017-2018 season. Overall, Hicks made 11 starts for the Eagles and went 6-2 with a 1.39 ERA and a .177 batting average allowed. Big things are ahead for this young arm. More on Brady ⤵️

What's the Difference Between a No-Hitter and a Perfect Game? Most people think a no-hitter and a perfect game are basically the same thing. They’re not. Here’s how rare they are: There have been over 330 no-hitters pitched in MLB history. But there have only been 24 perfect games. This jersey belongs to the man who threw one of those 24 perfect games and quite possibly the scariest man to ever throw one. The Big Unit. Randy Johnson. Yes, he’s the same guy that threw a pitch that hit a bird flying across home plate. "The Big Unit" retired all 27 batters, striking out 13 on 117 pitches. At 40 years and 256 days old, Johnson broke Cy Young's record to become the oldest pitcher to throw a perfect game. Ok, so he retired all 27 batters in order, 3 up, 3 down in each of the 9 innings. No hits or walks, or errors. No one reached base for any reason. That’s the difference. A no-hitter means the pitcher gave up no hits (meaning that if they do hit the ball, it gets caught, or the runner gets thrown out at first base so then it does not count as a hit. Now, in a no-hitter, batters can still reach base on walks, errors, or hit-by-pitches. A perfect game means nobody reaches base at all. 27 up, 27 down. Good night, Charlie. Zero chances to score a run. #Baseball #MLB #PerfectGame #NoHitter #RandyJohnson #SportsFacts DISCLAIMER: We do our best to research every story we share — but facts, sources, and memories aren’t always perfect.

When you talk about the Mount Rushmore of outside linebackers, JACK HAM belongs on it. Not because he was the loudest or chased headlines. But because he perfected the position in a way few ever have, blending elite coverage, run-stopping precision, and big-play instincts into a flawless package. Ham played with rare discipline, anticipation, and range. He erased tight ends in coverage, closed run lanes before they formed, and turned third downs into non-events. While some overwhelmed with raw force, Ham dismantled offenses through pure understanding — always early, always balanced, always in the right spot. In the heart of the Steel Curtain dynasty — surrounded by Hall of Famers like Mean Joe Greene, JackLambert, and Mel Blount — Ham was the quiet constant Chuck Noll trusted most. He didn’t freelance. He didn’t guess. He diagnosed and solved plays faster than offenses could adjust. The resume is elite: • Six consecutive First-Team All-Pro selections • Eight straight Pro Bowls • Four Super Bowl rings as a cornerstone of one of the NFL’s greatest defenses • 32 career interceptions • 21 fumble recoveries • 25+ sacks (unofficial) • 53 total takeaways — the most in NFL history by any non-defensive back Those numbers aren’t just good — they’re historic. But his greatness goes beyond stats. He was the gold standard for the complete outside linebacker: elite in coverage (often called the best coverage linebacker ever), lockdown against the run, instinctive blitzer, and virtually mistake-free. Every legendary defense also needs a constant — the player who never beats himself, who anchors everything, who makes the unit elite. Jack Ham was that constant on one of the most dominant defenses football has ever seen. That’s why his name belongs carved in stone alongside Lawrence Taylor and the very best outside linebackers the game has ever known. The Hammer wasn’t flashy — he was simply perfect. Thank you for reading. If you enjoy this kind of work, please give me a follow 🙏. #Steelers #HereWeGo #NFL

Every legendary defense also needs a constant — the player who never beats himself, who anchors everything, who makes the unit elite. Jack Ham was that constant on one of the most dominant defenses football has ever seen. That’s why his name belongs carved in stone alongside Lawrence Taylor and the very best outside linebackers the game has ever known. The Hammer wasn’t flashy — he was simply perfect. Thank you for reading. If you enjoy this kind of work, please give me a follow 🙏. #Steelers #HereWeGo #NFL

RHP Matt Scott (Stanford Baseball) is one of the premier college arms in this year's Draft. After a solid Freshman season that was split between the bullpen and the rotation, Scott this year anchored the Stanford rotation and collected a career-high 103 strikeouts against 36 walks across 80 innings. Earned a Team USA invite for the second straight summer. Scott has an XL, workhorse frame at 6-foot-7 and 247-pounds with plenty of strength and physicality throughout. Quiet, "checkpoint-like" delivery. Small side step towards 1B side, gathers himself and breaks into the rest of his operation. Attacks from a high-three quarter slot. Low effort, does a nice job of staying connected and in-sync for someone of his stature. FB sits in the 93-96 range, but will routinely touch 97/98. Tons of carry through the zone, averaged 22.5" of IVB last year. At its best when located in the top-1/2 of the zone, which is also where it generates most of its whiffs. Just needs to stay out of the middle. Threw it 62% of the time and generated a pretty impressive miss rate of 26%, though I think it can become even more effective if he's able to hone in on his command of it. 55 pitch right now, eventual 60 if some of the low hanging fruit is cleaned up. Supplements his FB with a mid-to-upper-80s gyro SL. I actually think Scott's feel for the SL is on par, if not better, than his feel for the heater. Effective against both right and lefthanded hitters. True, hard gyro look against LHH. Will flash more two-plane tilt against RHH with some sharpness to it. Another 55 pitch that last year had a 40% miss rate. Scott needs to up the usage on his split-change. Threw it just 6% of the time last year and I think it's his best secondary pitch. Legit weapon against LHH. Averaged nearly 12 MPH off his FB and he does an excellent job of killing spin on it; averaged 866 RPMs last season. Essentially falls off a table as it approaches the plate. Serious tumbling life with a bit of arm side fade. 48% miss across a limited sample in '24, I'd give it a 60. Command and control are both average, if not a tick above. Little-to-no reliever risk. Really like the body and stuff. Projects to be one of the first few college arms off the board this July and is a potential first-rounder.

Today the 65th SEC Tournament tips off at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn., and while Alabama Men’s Basketball is second in the conference with eight tournament championships, a former Crimson Tide head coach considers a game that didn’t result in a title as the greatest in tournament history. Wimp Sanderson, who won five SEC Tournaments and played in the championship game nine of 12 years, still considers the 90-89 semifinal victory over Arkansas on March 14, 1992, at the Birmingham-Jefferson Civic Center as the greatest tournament game he’s ever seen. Elliot Washington, who Sanderson signed after watching him play half-court only, hit a three-pointer as time dwindled down to 1.5 seconds to give the Crimson Tide its one-point victory. Washington only scored six points against the Razorbacks, but the last three were the biggest of the game. “A knock-down, drag-out game with athletes like you’ve never seen,” Sanderson said. “(Latrell) Sprewell hits a shot to cut it two and we go back down the floor and we knew the right guy to foul. He missed the shot and we called timeout. “When we broke the huddle, the ball ends up in (James) Hollywood Robinson’s hands. Hollywood wouldn’t throw it to his mother if she was open. He ended up with the ball around the top of the circle and took it on the dribble drive to the goal. Arkansas was going after the ball and he kicked it in the corner to Elliot. When he shot it, I’m running down the bench saying I believe the cotton-picking ball is going in.” In the 1991-92 academic year, expansion actually started with basketball as newcomers Arkansas and South Carolina joined the SEC. With the addition of the Razorbacks, a Final Four team in 1990, a new hardwood rivalry started between Alabama and Arkansas. During the regular season, the teams held serve on their home courts, Alabama winning 65-63 in Tuscaloosa and Arkansas 90-87 in Fayetteville. When the semifinals of the SEC Tournament created the pivotal third meeting, fans on that afternoon were treated to one of the most thrilling games in tournament history. However, the emotionally and physically drained Crimson Tide had little energy left in the championship game as it lost to Kentucky the next day. “We were dead tired,” Sanderson admitted. “It wore us out.”

On this day 56 years ago, three men fell from the sky in a freezing, half-dead spacecraft and landed in the Pacific Ocean. They had been given almost no chance of coming home alive. Six days earlier, astronauts Jim Lovell, Jack Swigert, and Fred Haise launched on Apollo 13, heading for the Moon. Two days into the flight, 200,000 miles from Earth, an oxygen tank exploded and tore a hole in the side of their ship. Within minutes, they were losing oxygen, losing power, and losing heat. There was no plan for this. No one had trained for it. The Moon landing was abandoned. The only question now was whether three men could survive long enough to get home. Their main ship was dying, so they climbed into a smaller attached craft that was only designed to land on the Moon. It was built for two people for two days. They had to make it last four days for three. The temperature inside dropped to 3 degrees Celsius. Water droplets covered every surface. They rationed drinking water to six ounces per man per day, less than a single cup. Jim Lovell lost 14 pounds in four days. Then the air started going bad. The filters that clean carbon dioxide from the air were running out. Without new ones, the crew would suffocate. The spare filters from the main ship were the wrong shape. Square filters. Round slots. Engineers on the ground grabbed the same materials the astronauts had on board, plastic bags, cardboard, duct tape, and a sock, and built a makeshift adapter on a desk. Then they talked the crew through building an identical one while floating in zero gravity, 200,000 miles away. It worked. To get home, they had to swing around the far side of the Moon and fire their engine at the exact right second. Too steep and they would burn up entering Earth’s atmosphere. Too shallow and they would bounce off it and drift into space forever. The entire world stopped. Over 40 million people watched on television. The Pope led prayers from the Vatican. On April 17, 1970, the spacecraft hit the atmosphere. For four minutes, all radio contact went silent. The heat of re-entry surrounds a spacecraft in a layer of superheated gas that blocks all signals. Controllers on the ground called out. Nothing. The silence stretched past the expected time. One minute late. Still nothing. At one minute and 28 seconds past the deadline, a voice broke through. The parachutes opened. The capsule hit the water. All three men were alive. They never reached the Moon. But the mission became the greatest rescue in the history of space travel. It proved that the most dangerous moment in any journey is not the one you prepare for. It is the one nobody saw coming. Jim Lovell never flew in space again. He never walked on the Moon. Years later, when asked if he considered himself unlucky, he said: “I think of the crew of Apollo 1, who died in a fire before they ever left the ground. I think of the crews who never got to fly at all. No, I regard Apollo 13 as a triumph.”
