This dude is an amazing story.  He went to a D3 university and sucked, partly because he lost 30 pounds during the season.  After his soph year, he had a blood test for a summer internship and they found out he had diabetes.  Not surprisingly, he improved a lot the next season, and then transferred to D1 Gardner-Webb.  Killed there and got drafted in the 3rd round, missed most of last season with a shoulder injury.  Started 2023 in AA, got moved to AAA after 1 start -- in his first AAA start, he threw 5 perfect innings with 11 Ks and got the call. 

Everybody wants the next Spencer Strider.There probably isn't one this year. BUT if anybody has a shot, it's #Athletics Mason Miller.4S: 100.0 mph, 16.5" ride, 6" arm-side, 144 Stuff+CT: 95.7 mph, 7" lift, 3" cut/sweep, 116 Stuff+SL: 86.5 mph, -3" drop, 9" sweep, 120 Stuff+

Being kind of an old and out of touch guy, when I was playing baseball and watching it exclusively as my favorite sport, there were two pitching motions: The Wind-Up and the Stretch.

Do major league pitchers not pitch from the wind-up anymore? All these posts seem to be from the stretch. I always thought to get the full and optimal benefit of whatever pitch (movement on slider, speed on fastball, etc.) you needed to wind-up and from the stretch you lose a little bit, but these guys are all hitting 100+ from the stretch.

Luke Raley strikes out Vlad Guerrero Jr.!

 

Best thing about this (even better than Raley ducking the swing)...Jays batted around and Vladdy hit a grand slam off Raley.

Wrong way slider?  That’s a screwball. 

Dauri Moreta's Slider Release vs. Brent Honeywell's Screwball Release.You can hopefully see the difference. You'd expect the Screwball to break arm-side because of the release.

Ok I stand corrected. He definitely isn’t putting screwball rotation on it. 

Dauri Moreta owns one of baseball's best sliders. But is it really a slider?I dove into the pitch's movement, effectiveness, usage and, yes, whether it's actually a slider. “Well … it’s a slider. But it’s more of a screwball for me.”https://t.co/qsvhqgOWKk

Way back in the day, Fernandomania convinced 13-yo me to try throwing a screwball.   It felt like it was completely destroying my elbow and it floated it there soft as a pillow.  I decided to stick with the curve.

Is he creating the rotation with his thumb?
