Dylan Thompson went from one appearance in two years at LSU to dominating at Blinn College.

The @BYUBaseball transfer went 10-0 with a 2.29 ERA and a .197 BAA in 2026. His ability to flood the zone with his sinker and slider gives him a chance to play a key role for the Cougars.

most frustrating feel as a pitcher to get the whole delivery ruined by a sliding foot when trying to anchor

Vincent Hesprich @VinceHesprich Oct 29

All year, opposing fan bases have poked fun at Miz for constantly futzing with road mounds.

And now a shoddy mound just ended his World Series start.

He knew what he was talking about.

great thought experiment

imagine Misiorowski’s performance / stat lines on the 2 ft wide zones from the 90s

the size of the strike zone shrinking over time is really the main accelerator of the evolution of baseball

when the zone shrinks, the dependency on variable, in zone stuff is extremely important.

Which explains why everyone is nasty, the strike zone has bred this. The value of forcing the pitcher to execute has never been higher.

John Smoltz continues to criticize Jacob Misiorowski because he can’t fathom the idea of someone being better than he ever was in just their second year of Major League Baseball.

He’s a deeply insecure man who can’t accept that someone is succeeding in a way that challenges his conventional ideas about pitching.

There is no analysis from Smoltz anymore, and there hasn’t been in a long time. It’s just projections from a grumpy old man yelling at clouds.
