How does an umpire not reward that glorious curveball at 3:36 with a strike call? 😅 They'd already used a challenge and failed in his first inning of work. Classic catcher pause "Ummmm. ..you sure about that Blue?!" You can see what I saw in several of Childers' outings in the AFL and why I consider and considered him the biggest takeaway storyline in the Brewers AFL: His vastly improved heater has completely revolutionized his chances for success. His off-speed is playing off it so well after this AFL stint. His surprising ascendancy into 2025 is one of the unheralded storylines in the entire system. He has put his first steps onto the path toward a high leverage MLB reliever. If you juxtapose this realization with what we saw when he first came aboard as an undrafted FA in 2023 (being fair, I should add he was drafted by the Diamondbacks in the 30th Rd back in 2019)?  It is nothing short of remarkable. All the credit to him and the stable of coaches and PD people in the Brewers' ranks.

Yes they do fly by. That’s a fun video.  Baez is a solid hitter so far in his career, and still young (he was a ‘22 signing I believe but is only 6 months older than Yophery). If he can play average 2B/3B his bat can take him up the chain. And young enough to still develop more power.
