Highlights brought to you by Rozzi Fireworks. Moeller started off their postseason run with a bang, as they scored a program record 25 runs in a 25-0 win over Western Hills. The offense exploded for 18 hits, including 6 extra base hits, which included 3 home runs. Matt Ponatoski led the team with 6 RBIs, one off from tying the program record in a game, going 3-3 with 2 home runs and a double. Might be the only Crusader in history to hit two home runs in a single inning (can’t verify). Jackson Porta also had 3 hits, going 3-3 himself. He also added on 3 RBIs on the day. Will Schirmer went 3-5, also registering 3 RBIs, an inside the park home run, and got a triple. Connor_Fuhrer threw a complete game 1 hitter. Connor didn’t walk a single batter for the second time this season, and he struck out 7, which ties for his career high.

Congrats to Ryan Ward for having his contract selected and being placed on the Dodgers' 40 Man Roster. Wardo was awarded as the Most Valuable Player in the PCL this past season after hitting .290, with an OPS of .937. He posted a WRC+ of 132, and his 36 home runs led ALL of the Minor Leagues During this season he also became the ALL-TIME home runs leader (90) and RBIs (318) in the history of the Bricktown Ballpark Era for OKC baseball. On a personal note, I've been going to AAA OKC games since 1975. That dates back to All-Sports stadium, and 6 different affiliation changes, 5 of which have been in my lifetime, and that I remember VERY well. So, to see this with my own eyes was truly historical on a personal level for me as well. #89ERS And, to have it happen in the first year of the new branding was a real "page turner" of OKC baseball, so that's SUPER cool too. Ward also drove in 122 runs, which is the most of ANY player in the PCL since 2010, and racked up the most total bases (315) of any player in the PCL since 2001. Ward also set single-season records for the Bricktown era in hits (164), runs (113), and RBIs (122). As per his defense... His outfield play has gotten better and better as each year has passed, and, while his bat will likely always be the"show stealer", he is a good athlete and has become a very solid outfielder. He can also play 1st base, and dabbled in a touch of 2nd base while at Bryant Baseball Speaking of Bryant, he's the only Bulldog ever to hit over .400 for a single season, and he struck out just 1 time his senior Season at Millbury, so the "hit tool" is NOT a new thing for him. As an aside, he graduated with fewer than 100 kids in his High School, and he is not shy to show pride in his "small town" work ethic. With all the home runs over the fence, his highlight of last year was an at-bat where he kept the ball IN the park. Wardo knocked an INSIDE-the-park WALKOFF home run back at the beginning of May. Congrats, Wardo, I could type ALL DAY about this dude, but that will do it for NOW. #dodgers

FORMER KNOTT COUNTY CENTRAL AND ALICE LLOYD STAR PROVING TO BE A BIG SUCCESS IN BASEBALL Baseball has taken Dalton Cornett many places. The former Knott County Central star and Alice Lloyd College All-American has found a way to make a career out of the sport in a unique way - by playing Banana Ball! Cornett, the son of Alice Lloyd head coach Scott Cornett, was an All-American and NCCAA Mideast Region Player of the Year for the Eagles. He then transitioned to playing baseball professionally. He played for the Lexington Legends of the Atlantic League and the Billings Mustangs of the Pioneer League. He also spent some time in Puerto Rico before signing with the Savanah Bananas organization. He spent his first three years playing with the Party Animals, one of the teams created to play against the Bananas. This season, he is playing with one of the organization’s other teams - The Firefighters. Cornett is still enjoying the game he loves and recently hit a homer against the Bananas in a game. Cornett also owns DC3, a baseball equipment and clothing company. His company has designed uniforms, and his gloves have even been used in Major League Baseball games. One of his gloves is a tribute to Kentucky. He’s showing how one can be a success in a sport that they love without going the traditional route while using savvy to run a baseball business. We’re proud of what Dalton Cornett is doing, and he serves as a role model for young athletes in the mountains with his hustle both on and off the field.

SS Dean Curley (Tennessee Baseball) is one of the top Sophomore-eligible prospects in this year's Draft. Earned the starting shortstop job as a Freshman and hit .285/.386/.502 with 10 2B, 12 HR, and 50 RBIs. After winning the National Title, Curley also enjoyed a productive stint with Team USA. Curley has a big league body at 6'3" and 212-lbs with length in his lower-half and strength and physicality throughout. Slightly crouched setup in the box with a medium-high handset. Small stride with a minimal load in which he deploys a slight barrel tip. Curley has big time hand speed and an engaged lower-1/2 - fan of the scissor action with his back leg. It's an under control operation/easy operation with minimal moving parts, and one in which he takes a short and direct path to contact. Head stays level. There's a really appealing compact explosiveness to it. Curley has a knack for finding the barrel to go along with plus bat-to-ball skills. Sported an overall IZ contact rate of 90% last season, including 93% against FB. Difficult to beat with the heater and handles velocity well. Hit .304/.515/.348 against 94+, including .500/.611/.571 against 95+ (albeit a smaller sample size). While there's some swing and miss against spin, Curley has a sound approach and his swing decisions are polished. Pitch recognition skills took a step forward with Team USA, curious to see if that carries over into the spring. Comfortable giving the hit tool a 50 right now, though it's closer to a 55. On top of his hitability, Curley has above-average raw power (plus to the pull side). His highest quality of contact—and the vast majority of his HR power—is to the PS, but he has the strength to drive the baseball to all fields. Routinely impacts the baseball and is able to do so with relative ease. On top of his 90th-percentile EV of 107, Curley posted a Max EV of 110.8. Very enticing hit-power blend. Curley is a slam dunk to stick on the left side of the infield, it's just a matter of where. Started every day at SS last spring and is slated to do so again in 2025. He has an advanced baseball sense with a comfortably plus arm and some range to the arm side. There is a chance he eventually moves to 3B in pro ball where the arm and actions will both translate well. There's a lot to like with Curley from a tools standpoint on both sides of the baseball. He can impact the game in a myriad of ways and is on track to be a top-50 overall selection this July. (📽️: Tennessee Baseball)

2B Henry Godbout (Virginia Baseball) is a college bat to keep a close eye on this season. Following a solid Freshman season—and an impressive showing in the Northwoods League—Godbout exploded last year to the tune of a .372/.472/.645 slash line with 18 2B, 9 HR, 47 RBIs and more BB (29) than Ks (20). Across a brief 9-game stint on the Cape, Godbout went 11-for-36 (.306) with 3 2B, 1 HR, and 9 RBIs. Athletic build at 6'2" and 190-lbs with some length in the lower-half and budding physicality. Fairly upright stance in the box with an open front side. High handset, hands start pretty far back. Minimal load, leg lift leads into a normal stride. Generates effortless plus bat speed, head stays quiet and level throughout his operation. Consistent quick and tight turns with his hips. Does a great job of working inside the baseball. Just a real hitterish look. Godbout's calling card is his hit tool. Pull-oriented approach, but will occasionally work to the opposite field. Hand eye coordination is outstanding. Highly advanced feel for the barrel that he pairs with plus (closer to a 70 than a 60) bat-to-ball skills and a polished approach. Ran a 92% overall IZ contact rate last spring, including 95% against FB, 91% against SL and 90% against CB. Feasts on heaters - contact rate against all FB was 95%. No issues with velo, either. Hit .556 against all FB 93+. Would stick a 60 on his hit tool. Godbout has some impact to the pull side, which is where all of his HR power (at least right now) comes from. Last year's Max EV of 106.4 doesn't necessarily jump off the page, but there's potentially more impact on the way and you're buying the hit tool. Raw power right now is a tick below average (avg. to pull side). Godbout is a strong defender at 2B, where he is a safe bet to stick professionally. Range in either direction (especially up the middle), soft hands, average arm, and a good clock. Makes all the plays he should. First-round upside this July. (🎥: Virginia Baseball)

🚨12 HOUR NEWS RECAP 1. India launched airstrikes on targets in Pakistan and parts of Kashmir in retaliation to a deadly terrorist attack in Indian-administered Kashmir, which killed 26 tourists. 2. Pakistani authorities claimed the airstrikes hit multiple locations across the country, damaging 4 mosques and a medical clinic, with one official reporting 13 people killed at a Bahawalpur mosque, including women and children. In total, at least 26 people were killed in the strikes. 3. Pakistan offered a conditional ceasefire - but only if India hits the brakes first. Defense Minister Khawaja Asif announced that Islamabad “does not seek war” and is “prepared to exercise restraint.” 4. Trump reportedly plans to make waves next week by officially adopting "Arabian Gulf" or "Gulf of Arabia" as America's designation for the critical waterway long known as the Persian Gulf. 5. Ukraine hit Moscow with drones for the third straight night, shutting down airports just as President Xi landed for Russia’s WW2 Victory Day celebrations. Russia launched missile strikes on Kyiv, killing 2 and injuring several, including 4 children. 6. In his first major interview since leaving office, Biden said that NATO would have to fight Russia for Ukraine to win: “The idea that they could win without engaging NATO in a war, NATO in having engaged the Soviet Union, former Soviet Union, Russia, is not likely.” 7. Tesla rolled out a new long-range rear-wheel drive Model Y in the U.S. for $44,990 - or just $37,490 after the $7,500 federal tax credit. It’s the most affordable long-range Model Y yet, aimed at making premium EVs accessible to more drivers. 8. Flights in and out of Yemen’s Sanaa International Airport were suspended indefinitely following an Israeli airstrike that inflicted extensive damage. The strike also hit a nearby power station, deepening the disruption. 9. Trump didn’t hold back in his latest remarks, branding New York Attorney General Letitia James "a total crook" in response to allegations of mortgage fraud. A recent criminal referral accuses James of falsifying property documents to secure better loan terms. 10. Four former housekeepers are suing Motown legend Smokey Robinson, alleging years of sexual assault, battery, and a toxic work environment enabled by his wife.

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)

In the middle of baseball season, here are some Major League Major Facts: -Dennis Haysbert actually hit multiple home runs on camera while filming. In the final game when he hit his final home run, he was so excited he forgot to drop the bat and ran the bases with it despite that not being in the script. -For many of the wide crowd scenes of the climactic playoff game, there were over 20,000 extras in the stands. When the team first ran onto the field with the crowd roaring, Haysbert admitted to being emotionally overwhelmed by the experience. Former Major Leaguer and technical advisor Steve Yeager noticed Haysbert's reaction and said to him, "That's what it's like 162 times a year." -In the scene where Jake invades Lynn's party, one of the guests asks how much Jake makes in the Majors. He replies, "I make the league minimum." At the time (1989) the MLB salary minimum was $68,000. Average household income in 1990 was roughly $30,000. -The opponent slugger known as Yankees' home run threat Haywood was played by former pitcher of the Milwaukee Brewers, Peter Vuckovich. Vuckovich never hit a single home run in his entire 11-year major league career. In fact, during 8 of those 11 years he never made a single plate appearance since he was pitching in the American League, which uses a designated hitter to bat for the pitcher. -At the start of the "pennant race" montage, Willie Hayes is shown with 16 pairs of gloves nailed on his bedroom wall, indicating that he had stolen 16 bases in the first 101 games. At the end of the montage, he has at least 78 pairs on the wall, having stolen 62 additional bases in fewer than 60 games. -Haywood's line of "How's your wife and my kids?" was completely improvised by Pete Vuckovich. Ward couldn't think of a good insult that Haywood could say to Taylor, and Vuckovich, assured Ward that he could come up with something on the spot, which was what was caught on camera. -Chelcie Ross (Eddie Harris) played baseball in high school. He was a three-sport star, also playing football and basketball. -Wesley Snipes was not very skilled at baseball in real life, never having played much before. Ward said Snipes was so awful there were no scenes of hom throwing. -The vehicle that Willie Mays Hayes drives to opening day of spring training is a customized VW Beetle with a Rolls Royce grill, replacement trunk and hood ornament. The "Elegant Beetle" kit, as one was called, was popular in the mid-70s to the mid-80s until Rolls Royce sued a company responsible for one of the conversion kits. -Charlie Sheen admitted to Sports Illustrated that he took steroids to prepare for his role. He believed the steroids he took caused him to increase his fastball to 85 MPH. -Former Major-League catcher Steve Yeager served as a coach for the actors in training for the movie, also serving as a stunt double for Tom Berenger in many scenes when Jake Taylor would make a throw from home plate or be in a home plate collision, as well as play third-base coach Temple. -While not particularly specified, many of the players in the movie seem to be based on, or inspired by, former Major League stars. Pedro Cerrano, according to author/director David S. Ward, is based on Orlando Cepeda and Wade Boggs, who would superstitiously eat chicken before every game. Willie Mays Hays is based on Rickey Henderson. Ryne Duren was the inspiration for the character Ricky "Wild Thing" Vaughn, according to Ward. Eddie Harris appears to be inspired by Gaylord Perry, who was well known for using outside substances to enhance his pitches. Jake Taylor may be inspired by Carlton Fisk, a catcher who had a long career with the Boston Red Sox and Chicago White Sox. Lou Brown mentions early on that Taylor was an All-Star in Boston.

In the middle of baseball season, here are some Major League Major Facts: -Dennis Haysbert actually hit multiple home runs on camera while filming. In the final game when he hit his final home run, he was so excited he forgot to drop the bat and ran the bases with it despite that not being in the script. -For many of the wide crowd scenes of the climactic playoff game, there were over 20,000 extras in the stands. When the team first ran onto the field with the crowd roaring, Haysbert admitted to being emotionally overwhelmed by the experience. Former Major Leaguer and technical advisor Steve Yeager noticed Haysbert's reaction and said to him, "That's what it's like 162 times a year." -In the scene where Jake invades Lynn's party, one of the guests asks how much Jake makes in the Majors. He replies, "I make the league minimum." At the time (1989) the MLB salary minimum was $68,000. Average household income in 1990 was roughly $30,000. -The opponent slugger known as Yankees' home run threat Haywood was played by former pitcher of the Milwaukee Brewers, Peter Vuckovich. Vuckovich never hit a single home run in his entire 11-year major league career. In fact, during 8 of those 11 years he never made a single plate appearance since he was pitching in the American League, which uses a designated hitter to bat for the pitcher. -At the start of the "pennant race" montage, Willie Hayes is shown with 16 pairs of gloves nailed on his bedroom wall, indicating that he had stolen 16 bases in the first 101 games. At the end of the montage, he has at least 78 pairs on the wall, having stolen 62 additional bases in fewer than 60 games. -Haywood's line of "How's your wife and my kids?" was completely improvised by Pete Vuckovich. Ward couldn't think of a good insult that Haywood could say to Taylor, and Vuckovich, assured Ward that he could come up with something on the spot, which was what was caught on camera. -Chelcie Ross (Eddie Harris) played baseball in high school. He was a three-sport star, also playing football and basketball. -Wesley Snipes was not very skilled at baseball in real life, never having played much before. Ward said Snipes was so awful there were no scenes of hom throwing. -The vehicle that Willie Mays Hayes drives to opening day of spring training is a customized VW Beetle with a Rolls Royce grill, replacement trunk and hood ornament. The "Elegant Beetle" kit, as one was called, was popular in the mid-70s to the mid-80s until Rolls Royce sued a company responsible for one of the conversion kits. -Charlie Sheen admitted to Sports Illustrated that he took steroids to prepare for his role.

🚨WEIRD PLAY ALERT🚨 First, weird doesn’t do this justice. This is from Wednesday night’s game between AAA Albuquerque Isotopes at Reno Reno Aces … with one out B9, ABQ leads 4-3, but Reno has bases loaded. Connor Kaiser hits a gapper for a double and seemingly the win … BUT … R3 (Aramis Garcia) scores to make it 4-4 R2: (Christian Pache) runs into Ildemaro Vargas who ran on the field with a cell phone to record the celebration and accidentally knocked Pache over, which is unintentional interference. R1: (Andy Weber) stopped before third, and Kaiser rounded second and started to head to the celebration… BUT… Pache was called out (2-unassisted) so it was 4-4 … BUT … Topes CF Sam Hilliard thought the game was over on the hit so he flipped the ball over the fence to a kid … BUT … Since it was only 4-4, and coach/player interference is not a dead ball, flipping the ball into the stands is an error on Hilliard, and the penalty is the base you are going to at the time of the throw, plus another, meaning Weber, who stopped short of third, was awarded third, and then home to win the game. Final score … 5-4 Reno. Holy crap. Now, they will get the scoring fixed tomorrow (let’s face it this is a new one) but they will remove on of the RBIs from Kaiser, and add an error to Hilliard. The first runner is unearned because he reached on an error, and since Pache’s INT should have been the third out, Weber is also unearned. Absolutely the dumbest, silliest, best baseball ending to a game in a long, long time. Jimmy O'Brien and Close Call Sports & Umpire Ejection Fantasy League will have a field day. Here is the clip with the ABQ radio call over it because it conveys the craziness way better than the Reno call.

Lots of people are sleeping on Quinn Priester... I have a feeling this dude is going to make an impact with the major league club next year. Let’s talk about it. Adding velo to the sinker (SI) has been a constant emphasis since coming over via trade, and we already saw a minor increase last year. Avg SI velo (2024) 📈 • w/ PIT: 93.0 mph • w/ BOS: 93.8 mph NOTE: Remove his first two appearances where there wasn’t really any changes made, and his avg SI velo now sits at 94.2 mph. Games where SI sat 94+ mph 📈 • w/ PIT: 2 (of 23) • w/ BOS: 5 (of 10) He’s comfortably hit 96 and topped 97 mph for Worcester (seen in video attached), and has been grinding on a velo program this winter as well. Other top velos, just for fun… • FF: 96.3 mph* • SL: 92.3 mph • CU: 83.5 mph* • CH: 92 mph* • FC: 94.4 mph* *indicates top velo was w/ BOS — On top of this, we all know that Bres/Bailey & Co. love their whiff and secondary offerings. Priester took a huge step forward last year in both of these categories. Overall whiff 📈 • w/ PIT: 29.8% • w: BOS: 35.4% Arsenal whiff w/ BOS 📈 • SI: 22% • FF: 30% • FC: 42% • SL: 48% (‼️) • CU: 43%** **hot take: SI/SL combo are his carrying pitches, but his best pitch is his CH — Clearly, there’s something there. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see a major usage change. Here’s what I would propose: • FA (FF/SI/FC): 46.3% ➡️ 30% - SI: 20% (“get me over” or “need it” kind of pitch; needs to be for a strike, low in zone; CH plays off it) - FC: 9% (would love to use it more, but had a limited sample size in 2024; start off as a LHH-exclusive like Garett Whitlock showcased; needs to either be elevated (tunnel w/ FF) or down+out (tunnel w/ SL) - FF: 1% (similar to what we saw Bello implement… only deploy in key situations; must be elevated) • SL: 31.8% ➡️ 35% - emphasis on gloveside target against both LHH/RHH; vs LHH, catcher sets up more middle/out - maybe try some armside vs LHH to dupe batters? • CH: 14% ➡️ 25% - best pitch results in MLB (.167 BAA, .167 SLG, 29% whiff in limited sample size) but can’t be overused - need to tunnel w/ SI… make sure low in/out of zone; see: Whitlock • CU: 8% ➡️ 10% - LHH exclusive offering, tunnels w/ elevated FC/FF - needs to miss low Overall: SI “first” for strikes with a very heavy dosage of SL/CH mixed in vs both LHH/RHH. FC/CB to LHH only. Elevated FF only in certain sequences. I’ve attached some specific videos to further emphasize my points. • Clip #1: Bogaerts whiff on CH • Clip #2: disgusting SLs to RHHs • Clip #3: Priester sinkers (T97 mph) • Clip #4: just pure nastiness Oh, and a friendly reminder: he’s just 24 years old. There is so much potential to tap into here. The stuff, for one, is there and only getting better. My favorite Red Sox pitcher right now is by far Garrett Whitlock. I see a little bit of baby Whitty in Priester’s delivery, frame, and stuff. 👀 — Alrighty, that was a lot lol. I hope everyone enjoyed. If you have questions, comments, or even player requests, feel free to reach out! I am super excited to see what Priester can do in 2025 and beyond. What do you think? ⬇️

🚨 THE SPACEX PUMP JUST ARMED THE INSIDER SELL BUTTON. And almost nobody buying at $178 knows it. Here's what's actually happening. SpaceX IPO'd at $135 on June 12, eight days later it's at $178. Everyone is calling it the trade of the decade. Nobody is reading the fine print. 95% of shares are still locked. You're trading on 5% of total supply. A $2.35 trillion valuation set by a sliver of float that can be moved by relatively thin volume. Thin float pumps easy. It dumps the same way. Now the part that should concern everyone buying right now. There's a clause buried in the lockup agreement. An early unlock triggers automatically if the stock holds 30% above the $135 IPO price. 30% above $135 is $175.50. The stock is at $178. The rally didn't just create paper gains. It activated the mechanism that lets insiders sell early. Then the calendar gets worse. Late July into August first insider shares hit the market around Q2 earnings. December 8 - full 180-day lockup expires in tranches. June 2027 - Musk's 6.4 billion personal shares come free. A wall of supply, on a fixed schedule, already counting down. We've seen this exact movie before. Facebook IPO'd at $38 in 2012, Lockups expired. Four months later it was trading at $18. Half the value erased not because the company failed. Because supply showed up and buyers ran out. Now the math on SpaceX. $2.35 trillion valuation. $18.7 billion in 2025 revenue. 125x sales. And Musk's own projection for $1 trillion in revenue is dated "maybe by 2030." You're paying for that today In full Four years early. So ask yourself one question. Who is on the other side of your buy at $178? People who got in at $40. At $60. At $90. Insiders sitting on 3x, 4x, 5x gains who have been waiting years for exactly this window. They don't need the price higher. They need buyers to sell into. Right now that buyer is you. The rockets are real. The company is real. The technology is real. The trap is also real. At $178 you're either early to the exit or you are the exit. I called the SPX drops before they happened. I called BTC's top at $126K. I called the dump from $126K to $60K - publicly, before it moved. Every major call this cycle on the record, before the fact. The next ones are already loading. Follow now and turn on notifications. The unlock clock is already running - and when it hits, you'll want to have seen this post first.

Brett Wichrowski Brett Wichrowski Acquired: 2023 13th round selection Measurables: 6’2”, 177 lbs, 21 years old Cliff Notes: The Brewers picked the Junior out of Bryant who had steadily improved over his NCAA career last year. By his junior campaign, Wichrowski posted a 4.50 ERA and 64 Ks/25 BBs in 50 innings pitched. He also has steadily added velocity in his offseasons (with Baseball Performance Center), which he showed off in the Spring Breakout series sitting 99 mph. In the Spring Breakout game he went 2 IP with zero earned & one strikeout plus in his outing in Big League Camp he went one scoreless, facing three batters with a K. His mix appears to have a 4-seam and 2-seam fastball with secondary offerings of a cutter, slider, and change-up. All look relatively effective playing off his fastballs, with the cutter jumping out of his hand and slider/change-up being effective enough off of his velocity. With his experience in NCAA baseball, the New England Collegiate Baseball League and the Cape Cod League, I would not be surprised if the Brewers start him in at least A ball. Wichrowski played three seasons at Bryant where he progressed as one would expect. His sophomore campaign was across 38 innings where he posted a 5.21 ERA, 37 Ks, and a high 30 BBs. His Junior season he demonstrated serious improvements, giving up less earned runs on average as well as upping his K rate while decreasing his BB rate. He rode that good season into being a Brewers Draft Pick. I look forward to seeing how the Brewers deploy the righty in the minors. As mentioned above, in the Spring Breakout game he was topping out at 99 mph. He uses that speed when throwing both of his fastballs, while his cutter is about 10 mph slower and effectively horizontally cuts due to his excellent extension. His slider is another nice option for glove-side movement, while he continues to work on his change up. His college walk rates/WHIP are something that are of concern, but more time in the Brewers organization should help him control his offerings better. His multiple plus offerings give Wichrowski a great chance to be an MLB contributor as long as he can improve control (which he showed in his Spring Breakout & Spring Training outings) He is definitely a guy to keep an eye on in 2024 and I could see him gaining transaction on some prospect lists.
