Looks like Shota Imanaga threw a couple sinkers late in tonight's game to a few left-handed hitters. Metrics below. A new wrinkle! #Cubs
Really fun conversation with @Dempster46 & @ColeWright on the #RedSox pacing for the lowest fastball usage (probably) ever. @WatchMarquee Demp has great perspective here regarding the strategy's sustainability. At the end, we lightly touch on some sequencing philosophy. 👀
PCA after hitting his first MLB homer. #Cubs
Changing an arsenal doesn't happen in a vacuum. As we've been saying for years, chasing max sweep or max carry can both impact a pitcher's mechanics, sometimes for the worse (dropping/climbing slot, cross-body, etc.) Understand and monitor these tradeoffs when adding a pitch.

Really great visual to see how pitch height impacts bat path Specifically vertical bat angle at contact Your sequencing, posture and upper body connection (and approach) play a big role in being able to cover both

Could we see Matt Shaw or Cade Horton at Wrigley Field in the near future? 🔥 Road to Wrigley: Farm Report starts at 5!
another great video from Lance. we've looked again at his cutter and have decided to label it a Hard Cutter moving forward. interestingly, we grade it as a below average pitch, worse than his fastball baseballprospectus.com/player/121380/…

3K Followers 1K Following Director, Strength & Conditioning - Minnesota Twins (Views/opinions are my own)@fairbanks_tyler still formulating a proper familiarity effect model, but @LanceBroz nailed the core concepts here: youtu.be/7tcBVexpFXc?si… better stuff pitches should decay less quickly than worse stuff pitches in this way
@LanceBroz Oh glad you saw the same thing I had to pull up the numbers. Like him incorporating the wrinkle especially since he threw about 5% in NPB last season.
7. Shota’s Split Any good disciple of @LanceBroz has had their fingers crossed for years now that their team would add more splitters to the pitching staff … and then our team found the best one. 51.2 Whiff%. Lance on Shota in December: youtu.be/rcB8NtHA9gw?si…
@TreadAthletics @LanceBroz @ArtOfBaseball has had some really intelligent thoughts on this as well. OG Pitch Data nerd and high level Pitching Mind.
@LanceBroz Also has to do with having a driving force in the rubber under the entire foot. 2023 had the heel off. Seeing a lot of pitchers prioritizing having the foot as level as possible for as long as possible
@LanceBroz Thanks! Was just curious! Thanks for doing that.
@LanceBroz Haha I saw the original and I was quite confused 🤔

Changing an arsenal doesn't happen in a vacuum. As we've been saying for years, chasing max sweep or max carry can both impact a pitcher's mechanics, sometimes for the worse (dropping/climbing slot, cross-body, etc.) Understand and monitor these tradeoffs when adding a pitch.
Had a fun convo with #Astros Hunter Brown today. I asked whether he thinks adding new pitches affects mechanics. His (really good) answer below concerning the sweeper he tried to throw early last year.
If anyone is watching the @NorfolkTides game this afternoon, Cade Povich opened the game with 5 strike outs before giving up two hits. Lots of long counts though
Really great visual to see how pitch height impacts bat path Specifically vertical bat angle at contact Your sequencing, posture and upper body connection (and approach) play a big role in being able to cover both
Mike Trout home run bat paths 114.5 mph HR off a high pitch today vs. 113.1 mph HR off a low pitch earlier this season
Could we see Matt Shaw or Cade Horton at Wrigley Field in the near future? 🔥 Road to Wrigley: Farm Report starts at 5!
This isn’t everything, but, per @DolphHauldhagen pitch movement sheet, only Shane Bieber, Kevin Gausman, and Spencer Strider have more horizontal AND vertical movement on their four seamers among starting pitchers than Suárez does. Interesting pitch. Interesting story.
Albert Suárez is not your typical Orioles phenom. He's no young hotshot. In fact, he went six years and 204 days between major-league appearances. But he's another Baltimore scouting triumph, writes @Ken_Rosenthal. theathletic.com/5440749/2024/0…
@LanceBroz Very cool. I saw his cutter hit 93 last night vs Texas and it moved a ton boring in on Evan Carter in one particular AB. Sometimes the cutter sweep action is barely noticeable but this very noticeable. He followed up with a Split that Carter waved at weakly. Really good stuff
another great video from Lance. we've looked again at his cutter and have decided to label it a Hard Cutter moving forward. interestingly, we grade it as a below average pitch, worse than his fastball baseballprospectus.com/player/121380/…
I've been thinking a lot about how new pitches affect mechanics and whether it matters. 🤔 New video just dropped that attempts to break down this thought through the lens of Logan Gilbert, who added a cutter and tweaked his curve. #Mariners Tease 👇, full vid next tweet!
Consistency, timeliness, interesting, unique, quality, info-dense. @LanceBroz nails the consistency, standardized format, and high-quality info in his newsletter, too.
@LanceBroz If I ever hear the word splinker come out of someone’s mouth I might puke
