@swingsandtakes.com There are those middle innings again. 6th and 7th were the worst for the Mariners in 2025.

The 2026 ZiPS projections for the Seattle Mariners are now up on @fangraphs.com. blogs.fangraphs.com/2026-zips-pr...

"The trap is believing that “more is better.” It isn’t. The opposite is true. Clean clear stories built around the highest-value data points should be the target." jrod20033.substack.com/p/how-we-ove...

tylerpride.substack.com/p/top-20-mar... I’m back with my first release of the offseason, where I rank my top 20 prospects in the Mariners farm system. Grades are included for all 20 prospects with a write-up for each member of the top 10.

I nominate this for sign of the year!!!

The “W” is lit!!!

I just completed my SABR Level Two Certification - Advanced Analytics in Baseball. A big thank you to all the great people at #SABR who created these courses! They are a lot of fun and very educational.

Good for him!!! Like Farmelo (who will be in the Arizona Fall League), Celesten just needs to get as many competitive ABs as possible before 2026 Spring Training.

tylerpride.substack.com/p/end-of-yea... Here are my final 2025 write-ups on key prospects at Seattle's High-A affiliate. These include Jonny Farmelo, Tai Peete, and the recently promoted Felnin Celesten and Ryan Sloan!

What a debut for Parker Messick! 6.2IP, scattered 7 hits, allowed only 1 run, and struck out six while walking only one. Hats off to him! Expect more of that from him in the future.

tylerpride.substack.com/p/parker-mes... On the day of his Major League debut, I thought I would reshare my scouting report on Parker Messick. I have updated my analysis of him, but I also included the original scouting report as well. I believe he has a good chance to beat industry expectations.

I’ll be reposting my scouting report of Messick in the morning with updated minor league statistics. Congratulations to him on making it to the big leagues!

@lookoutlanding.bsky.social Seems like the new SB Nation rollout is going great!

Here is a copy of the Khal Stephen article with just his write-up included. open.substack.com/pub/tylerpri...

I did a write up on Khal Stephen, who the Blue Jays are sending to Cleveland for Bieber. Here it is! tylerpride.substack.com/p/scouting-j... The big thing with him is that he commands all four of his offerings well and has sneaky good stuff. He has a legit shot at being a mid-rotation starter.

tylerpride.substack.com/p/explaining... Today, I dive into the 20-80 scouting scale, explaining how it works and what it is saying about players and their skills. Please respond with any questions you may have!

T-Mobile on the other hand is middle of the pack, with a 96. It stands to reason that Vinnie would benefit from T-Mo’s “short porch” in right field, much like Luke Raley did last year. baseballsavant.mlb.com/leaderboard/... baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-playe...

New article just dropped! I scouted Jurrangelo Cijntje (the Mariners switch pitching phenom) and Blue Jays RHP prospect Khal Stephen on July 5th! You’ll find my scouting notes and grades for both players here! Reach out with any questions. tylerpride.substack.com/p/scouting-j...

Cal Raleigh just cemented the greatest first half for a catcher in the history of baseball with the most wholesome sports moment I have ever witnessed in my life. His ENTIRE family was there! How can you not be romantic about baseball?! Baseball is the best!

It’s draft day! The MLB draft starts at 6:00 pm ET tonight, with coverage starting on MLB network the hour before. As a refresher, here are the top 27 players on my board, with breakdowns for each. tylerpride.substack.com/p/top-75-mlb...

Update: L/R SS Lucas Franco (18), No. 52 on my draft board, has officially withdrawn from the MLB draft, according to @jimcallis.bsky.social and @jonathanmayomlb.bsky.social of MLB pipeline. He is the only player among my Top 75 draft prospects to remove himself from consideration tomorrow night.

tylerpride.substack.com/p/top-75-mlb... Part 3 of my draft series is out! I break down players 51-75 on my board. Biggest riser: Jason Reitz. Up 50 places!

Thanks to #BoxedWater I’ll be planting two trees! I’ll be up to 3 after I attend the Coldplay concert in Madison, WI

And this is completely ignoring the fact that he massively outperformed his salary in 2023 and 2024, so he is well clear of being “underwater.” Thinking of Julio’s extension like that just doesn’t make any sense whatsoever and it’s not based in fact.

Wrote this piece defending Julio Rodríguez in mid-June. Considering the amount of social media teeth-gnashing his All-Star selection is causing, now feels like a good time to reshare it. #Mariners

My scouting notes from the Aquasox (Mariners A+) vs Emeralds (Giants A+) on 6/29/2025. tylerpride.substack.com/p/scouting-n...

When you’re ecstatic about a #Mariners sweep highlighted by three consecutive shutouts and then realize your team scored three-or-fewer runs five times during a seven-game home stand.

Go Muni and Matilda!

Got to represent! My cat Maui approves!

“Unpredictable” is the perfect word for the 2025 draft. With no clear cut options at the very top of the board, there will be plenty of cause and effect in this draft. Teams will have to be prepared to pivot quickly if the player they are eyeing is no longer on the board.

Part 2 is out now! I break down players 28-50 on my draft board in the second installment of my Top 75 draft prospects series. tylerpride.substack.com/p/top-75-mlb...

Ben Williamson, asked what it's like to play behind the bullpen right now: "I mean it's kind of boring." "Just kidding. It's really cool, they're taking care of their business and doing their job. So it's really fun to watch."

Coming Monday morning! I'll be releasing the first article in my Top 75 series, where I examine the best prospects in the 2025 MLB draft class. Monday's release will focus on players 1-27 in my rankings, with the rest to come later in the week. open.substack.com/pub/tylerpri...

Jacob Misiorowski is now tied for the 4th most 102 mph career pitches by a starter in the Statcast era (3). It's his 3rd MLB start.

Great win tonight for the Mariners! Really well managed game by Dan Wilson, especially with the bullpen sequencing, getting Munoz in there for the higher leverage spot. Julio coming through in the clutch was the difference!

I just completed Course 1 of the SABR Analytics Certification! A huge thank you to the great people at #SABR for creating such an awesome program for those of use that want to learn more about advanced baseball stats and metrics. I would highly recommend this course to any baseball fan.

This is a special season. Many of these are records I didn’t know if any player could get close to. Cal Raleigh is amazing!
