Since today is 6 years since I had TJ, here are the things I’ve learned that took me from 78mph and having TJ to throwing 96mph. Thread:

New Threads! Honored to share that I will be joining the Chicago Cubs as a Pitching Analytics Coordinator. Couldn’t be more thrilled to join this great group! The last 3 years have been a joy and honor to be with the Phils. Immensely grateful for everyone in Philly! #FlyTheW

Really promising signs from Dasan Hill over his last 5 starts. The stuff has looked great all year, but strike-throwing has taken a huge jump this summer. Still needs to be more than efficient if he wants to stretch out these outings more, but we’re seeing good development.

In his MLB career, Kody Clemens has: - recorded a strikeout on the mound - notched a 3-homer game at the plate - hit an ultimate grand slam (walkoff GS down by 3) The only other player in MLB history to do all 3 is Babe Ruth.
