Sonny Gray throws one of the firmest, nastiest sweepers relative to his FB velo. His FB is 92-94. The sweeper? 85-87 mph. His key: thumb placement & intent.π "I try to throw it like a cutter...I think of my offspeed as power pitches...I'm never trying to flip it in."

A lot of college coaches are cycling back to wanting pitchers that can actually pitch in games, and get hitters out. They're learning that plus velocity with dogshit command, doesn't win games.

Despite having last weekend off due to the holiday, I pitched well in the Championship game in our Rockford tournament. 4.0 IP, 5 Ks, 2 BB. FB up to 82 MPH with good swing-and-miss. Left with the lead, but we fell short in the end. @PB_Uncommitted @PrepBaseMIScout @StraightGasMI

"You have two options." @tigers pitcher @willyvest on his advice for young players, and the conversation with his Dad that changed his career. Must watch: β¬οΈ

A couple things that I really like about his delivery: β
Maintains a stable back foot as he drifts β
Holds back leg tension as he rides the slope β
Firm lead leg block & unreal thoracic extension delivers the arm like a whip β
Deep scap retraction & big pull into ball release

My second start of summer, a complete game win against a really strong team! 7IP, 12Ks, 1BB, 5H, 1ER, 65% strike rate. FB holding steady at 80-81. Secondary stuff felt great and was hitting all my spots. #classof2026 @playatthecage @PB_Uncommitted @PrepBaseMIScout @StraightGasMI
