Blue Jays Pitching Development Coach. Pronounced Catch-ler
Joined October 2012
The Rising “Sinker” Why do pitchers like Josh Hader opt to throw sinkers despite pitching almost exclusively up in the zone? Normally, it would be optimal to throw a four seam when chasing vertical break, but there appear to be some exceptions. (Thread)

Had such a blast with these guys at Rylan’s wedding. It’s incredible to think how far everyone has gone in each of their respective journey’s. While we all have a common love of data and helping pitchers, I know we’ve all become better people because of @RylanDomingues.

This is a post I’ve dreaded…. but it’s time. The last 3+ years have been difficult within my playing career, as I have fought consistent nerve issues since my head injury in ‘21. I find more joy in helping others vs. helping myself, and it’s time to do that full-time now.

Kai Peterson is a very interesting arm in the Blue Jays system Despite the 5.20 ERA, he has a 3.01 FIP and an absurd 44.5 K% while throwing a sinker 80% of the time. He has a side-arm release which results in a low release point and shallow VAA Really encouraging results!

When I/we started the data department 4ish years ago at @TreadHQ I never knew the places we'd go. My data analysts often turned into my best friends/sound board/game night companions, and when we lost @k_camden to pro ball, I was suspect that someone could fill the void.
Incredibly excited to share with you all that I will be joining the Philadelphia Phillies as a Pitching Development Analyst! As a kid from Eastern PA who grew up spending summer days at the Bank with my dad and filled my room with Phillies’ posters - this is a dream come true.
