“ALS has forced me to realize that who I am is so much bigger than what my body can do.”
Former @Titans RB @ChrisJohnson28 kept his ALS battle private for a long time. In a letter to his kids, he writes that he is still the same person he has always been despite the disease — he’ll always be their dad. ❤️ playerstribu.ne/ChrisJohnson

Some news:
I decided to open source my command project. It's called OpenCommand.
This means anyone can see the code (and even the data)!
I hope this gives more people a chance to pursue and share cutting edge baseball research.
Anyways, here's how to measure command: 🧵

Cam Schlittler velo progression
2022: Sits at 90-91, maxes out at 93
2023: Sits at 90 mph, maxes out at 92.
2024: Sits at 93.5 mph, maxes out at 97
2025: Sits at 98 mph, maxes out at 101
Goes from being an org arm to being the star of a postseason game.
Throwing hard matters.
Great step in the right direction for the health of our youth players

Charlie Kirk, a name synonymous with having the courage to speak what you believe and seek/welcome conversations with those whom you disagree with.
I’m not a political person but I am a proud American citizen and today was startling, saddening, and maddening all at the same time.. I’ve realized that I’m a bit naive to how crazy it all has become but watching a man get hunted and slayed in broad daylight because of his opinions made me disgusted and devastated.
This can’t be what we actually are or become as a country.. I believe that the good people will always outnumber the evil people but damn… today was an alarming day in our country’s history.
2 kids lost a dad.. a wife lost a husband.. and societal discourse lost a voice.
RIP @charliekirk11.. I send my prayers, thoughts, and love to his family and friends.
