Our @btew.bsky.social filed this one on Cardinals 1st-round pick Liam Doyle, who comp'ed aesthetically to Robbie Ray and had the best fastball in this year's draft class.

There's a high ceiling here for the team that lands him.

Ogasawara prep has started and… he throws strikes that’s a positive!

Most interesting thing to me is he has a harder slider/cutter at 84 mph that is not really tracked by places.
Maybe he should throw that more with his 70s sweeper.

There’s got to be another level to Brady Singer. He’s got too much competitiveness not to figure out some of the issues.

Maybe the Reds can clean up the arsenal just a bit. 🙏
November 23, 2024 at 1:23 AM
Intriguing trade for Cubs with Eli Morgan. Can’t confirm and wish I had better looks at the grips.

He almost soft splits into a vulcan change. Also have seen a more traditional circle change grip with width across the ball.

It’s a nasty pitch that the Cubs should encourage high usage of.

With Chris Sale likely to win the Cy tonight, resurfacing this article from August, where I figured out that his career path (elite 20s, brutal start to 30s, then rebound at 35+) is borderline unprecedented, and that is really cool
