A family of sticks.

My final installment of the best pitches in the 2026 Draft. The best changeups college baseball has to offer. Part VI of this series ends with seven names who pull the string better than anyone else. They'll perhaps hear their names called in July because of it.

This game will not be helping JP Crawford’s OAA in, well, any direction.

Part V of the Stuff+ series dives into the best curveballs in the 2026 Draft. Some familiar names, and some new names to know. Some of these guys will end up throwing hammers at the pro level. And their traits will likely get most of them drafted.

Rob Refsnyder has time, but not a lot of it.

Bill Clinton was in office the last time Cal Raleigh got a base hit.

In a relatively stunning move this morning, the Cleveland Guardians traded the No. 29 pick in the 2026 Draft to the San Francisco Giants for catcher Patrick Bailey. It's a move that will have serious ripples in the Draft and in baseball. 👇A FREE READ👇

Julio, what are you doing, buddy?

Part III of my series discussing the "stuffiest" pitches in the 2026 Draft. Sinkers are commonly a means to an end. They don't produce whiffs and are mostly deployed for ground balls and uncomfortable swings. These six guys, however, unleash a whole lot of nasty.

Yesterday, I dove into the best sliders in the 2026 Draft. Today, we're tackling four-seam fastballs. I highlighted 7 guys w/fastballs that'd play in professional baseball right away. And Stuff+ models agree. They'll hear their names called (some very early) in July.

The Atlanta Braves have 5 guys hitting .300 The Seattle Mariners do not have a single guy hitting .270

This Braves/Mariners game exemplifies why batting average can mean very little.

Get em, JR

Entering Saturday, Alabama shortstop Justin Lebron was slashing .231/.320/.374 in SEC play -- good for a sub .700 OPS and just an 11% barrel rate. But is he actually bad hitter? Is this a quick fix for an MLB player development system? I think it's the latter.

That was a disastrous night at T-Mobile Park.

Been a while since I’ve seen so many players on one team make this many mental mistakes in one game.

Kevin Appier, Clay Bucholz + Jacob Misiorowski all came from JUCO fame. Decided to highlight true hidden gems around the country. There are a handful of JUCO arms that deserve some attention in the MLB Draft. Here are 9 junior college pitchers that caught my eye.

Pretty juiced for Monday.

0 for 20 with 10 K. When does Seattle start pinch hitting for Barry Bonds?

JP Crawford is the second-slowest shortstop in baseball. He’s second-worst in DRS. He’s second-worst in OAA to his left and to his right. The only shortstop worse in the 6-hole is a second baseman moonlighting at shortstop. Like it or not, tough conversations are on the horizon this summer.

Colt Emerson not only gets to that ball, he probably doesn’t leave his feet.

Luke Raley is 0 for his last 19 with 9 strikeouts. Don’t tell Mariners Twitter.

In 9th grade, Texas Tech OF Logan Hughes was 5-8, 240 lb. It was a turning point. Hughes changed everything about his life. A newfound relentless desire to be the best version of himself helped transform him into one of the best players in the country.

Getting to a point where Luis Castillo is going to need a phantom IL stint to fix some of these shapes and execution. Probably before Memorial Day assuming Bryce Miller returns in two weeks. Consistently non-competitive outings each week and pitch design/shape degradation.

Among all college pitchers that have thrown at least 100 four-seam fastballs in 2026, Tennessee RHP Bo Rhudy is an absolute monster outlier. Better still? He pounds the zone. 20.1 IP 25 K 2 BB 2.21 ERA 0.639 WHIP

Jackson Flora isn't an outlier. And neither was Tyler Bremner. Andrew Checketts has turned UC Santa Barbara into a supercharged pitching development factory. Flora just happens to be the next engine off the assembly line...

On the podcast, we're starting team Draft previews this week. Every episode includes a guest. This week, we do a comprehensive breakdown on the Chicago White Sox. Pick ammunition, historical trends, tactics toward spending their bonus pool, down-board targets, rumors and more.

Most important thing you can do in scouting + evaluation is *research* and *watch* baseball. Take notes, questions your own bias & impressions — come up w/your own opinions. Lean in. Trust your process. Trust yourself. Own it. Don’t be afraid to be wrong. Don’t blindly follow.

It's been a winding, adventurous odyssey for Arizona State 2B Nu'u Contrades these last four years. Injuries have abbreviated so much of his momentum. But he's arrived. And he was worth the wait. He keeps re-writing his profile. And it keeps getting bigger, better.

These Woo 2-seam shapes in the first inning are ROUGH.

Ole Miss (@OleMissBSB) RHP Cade Townsend has dominated in 2026. But it hasn't always come easy. Learning to deal w/failure, understanding how to take the good with the bad comes with the territory. He's figured it out. Ever-evolving, Townsend has arrived.

Five years later, we revisit the 2021 Draft. A class crowned for its high school SS talent and high upside college stars, it feels as though more time has been spent on a trainer's room table than on the field. Then there's Jackson Merrill... A robust retrospective.

Pinch hitting Garver for Barry Bonds!? In the 6th inning!?

Luke Raley pinch-hitting in the 7th? But what if there’s a lefty on the mound in the 10th!?

I'm fascinated by Ole Miss RHP Cade Townsend. He's got every trick in the bag. Can really shape the baseball. Up to 98, and has thrown seven different pitches in Oxford, pours in strikes. Better still, he's dominating the SEC. The most complete pitcher in the Draft?

💎MOCK DRAFT V2 IS HERE💎 Some news and nuggets about what I'm hearing and where some teams are spending the bulk of their time this spring. Names rising. Potential team fits. 40 picks. Enjoy.

Tomorrow. First mock draft of the year compiling news and notes from around the country. What I'm hearing...

This 2010 Mariners roster goes so hard.

Statcast-inspired visuals are NOW AVAILABLE for college hitters for the 2026 season. Roch Cholowsky continues to be really, really, really good.

It's a story that isn't going away... Why can't MLB teams trade draft picks? Why isn't is possible yet? What are the pros, cons, and pitfalls of draft reform? And what are the odds we ACTUALLY see it changed with the impending new CBA? I dug deep dive on the subject.

UCLA RHP Logan Reddemann was just 165 pounds, throwing 91 as he entered college. Three years later, he’s close to 40 pounds stronger, touching 99 mph, and has positioned himself as a first round pick. … and there’s more in the tank. Hard work pays off.

The Seattle Mariners.
