What is the WORST PITCH in baseball? š§µ. Itās not what you think. No itās not the dead zone FB or the hanging slider. It is, the SINKER throw to the OPPOSITE handed hitter. Hereās why ā¬ļø

Chase Petty during Live ABs today. Fastball 97-102 for two simulated innings. Carrying it above the zone and demon sinking it down in the zone. Just an extraordinary arm talent and worker. Slider for strikes at any time, with heavy Horizontal. Stop it, @ChasePetty11 .Time to goš„

First time getting @MattHarvey33 off the mound after 3 days of heavy spin work. Main focus was to get that carry FB back from 13-15 (18V). From 18-20 his FB carry was only 12V at the same velo. Getting the carry back was the main focus to bring back that electric FB. Today: 18Vš„

Imagine hitting a 96 mph fastball to the moon with this little effort. How? Probably not by trying to smash exit velo off a tee. Create effortless juice by moving better. Slow it down.

Thomas White coming off of a great year and getting even betterš. Added a cutter this off-season to round out his arsenal. Touched his first official š„100 MPHš„ with the fastball during his first live BP last week. Special arm, ready to make his mark. Marlins #1 prospect.
"The fastball is almost Cole Ragans-esque". Thomas White's entire arsenal took a step forward in 2024. The @Marlins LHP ranks No. 1 in their system and has clear front-of-the-rotation potential.

I think very few guys actually know how to long toss. Going to 150-200ft isnāt long toss. That doesnāt Strength your arm. Take the ball and work to your max distance for 10-15 throws. If you want to train your body to move better and throw harder, throw it high and far. #Intent.

When you have a pitcher whoās struggling with command, the WORST thing you can do is yell at them to throw strikes. Pitchers know they have to throw strikes, they arenāt purposely trying to throw balls. This creates a passive pitcher. Donāt make it worse, help them.
