Some Metrics Updates for 2026 RHP @riley_silver of @MHSNeers from the Western Highlands Scout Day FB was 79-81 w/ spins up to 2055. Efficient Spin, lots of IVB: 17.53 IVB, 12.35 HB. His CB is more of a Slider, and it looks a lot more promising than what he threw for a breaking

I have trouble finding value in Fall Showcase, sorry -Fall should focus on Player Development and Weight Training -Showcase schedules can get in the way of College Camp dates and potential weekend visits, especially for seniors -Get reps in Fall HS leagues to control workload

Our goal isn’t to run athletes through a camp and cash the check. Our goal is to build players who last—who can throw harder, stay healthy, and reach the next level.

Those models sell the idea of quick results. But real pitching development doesn’t happen in a weekend. It doesn’t even happen in two months.
