I really like them, it helps me to know when a new one is out because sometimes Apple is weird about the podcasts

Thank you! I wasn’t even getting the free previews but I unfollowed it and then used the RSS link to get it back! I appreciate it! Saw the emails this week then didn’t see anything and completely forgot to look again

I haven’t seen anything since Dec 20 but all the episodes are there on Spotify

Any idea why the podcasts haven’t been showing up in Apple Podcasts?

Value Added
-WAR: 0.5 ➡️ 0.6
-Dollars: $4.1M ➡️ $5.1M

Key Takeaway

The improvements weren’t driven by reinventing the arsenal, but by having better execution, location and more velo!l These changes enhanced his two of his superpowers: the sinker and his pitchability

Slider Whiff%
13.3 ➡️ 32.9

This jump highlights how improved miss locations can create harder swing decisions for hitters and lead to more whiffs
December 16, 2025 at 1:12 AM
Sinker Improvements
-Avg Velo: 94.8 ➡️ 95.2 MPH
-Whiff%: 8.8 ➡️ 10.9
-Induced Vertical Break (iVB): 6.2 ➡️ 4.2
-Stuff+: 98 ➡️ 105

The sinker improvement was mainly focused on gaining more velo and creating more depth by losing a little spin efficiency and gaining more seam shifted wake
