    Hey @Brock Beauchamp can you reset mine as well? Was trying to hit shift+enter and hit ctrl+enter which submitted it 😂
  3. Spencer Michaelis
    @Brock Beauchamp I'd add new IFA signings OF Brailyn Antunez and OF Kenny Fenelon, probably worth including SS Cristopher Acosta too.

    "Live arm" is usually related to velocity, but sometimes it also relates to the way the fastball plays, or even just arm speed in general. This one is tougher, as it's pretty organization dependent. The Brewers seem to like fastballs with carry, and people who can spin the ball well in a lot of different directions. They also seem to like under the radar HS arms that have a lot of physical development left (Letson, Renz, Vire, etc).

    Yoho can even end up with around 40" in separation between the change and curve. Both get 20" of movement at times. Changeup arm-side, curve glove-side of course. Limited data out there for him, but Mannell is a bit different, as his changeup gets around 13-15" of horizontal movement instead of 20". It's also not a high-spin changeup like Yoho's, though it does have good depth. However, he has a sweeper that gets 20" of glove-side movement and a curve that has more vertical movement. It's not quite the same as Yoho, but there are similarities here. His two-seam does get around 17-20" of run on it, like Yoho's.

    Kevin Mannell is my Yoho for this draft. Was hoping they’d take him out of his Juco last year. He’s at Mississippi State now. He’s got that type of changeup movement, though not quite to the extent that Yoho does. But I think he’s just a perfect fit for what the Brewers like.

    I think the slider is pretty solid, the problem is that it doesn’t really tunnel well with the fastball that usually will play best at the top of the zone. He threw a couple curves in spring. I'd love to see him use that a bit more often.

    Per someone in attendance, Hardin was touching 96 on the stadium gun, sitting 94-95. In college he did get into the upper 90’s at times but that was in shorter stints, as he was a reliever at Mississippi State.

    Cooper Pratt 2R Homer!

    Castillo made a sliding attempt in the first inning and got his knee caught in the ground, creating a huge divot. Tried to stay in, but obviously eventually had to come out.

    I have been trying to get even one single velocity reading from an announcer, but haven't heard a single one in either outing. I do think it has to be up a bit from where it was in 2023 though, it certainly appears that it is on the surface. I would say the breaker is ahead of the changeup now, but the changeup is still a solid looking pitch.

    For those who weren't able to watch, here's a compilation of every pitch Johnson threw last night. He really seems to be making a leap in his first full season opportunity. The stuff looks good.
  18. Spencer Michaelis
    That's Braylon Payne

    Don't have time to format it as nicely as you did, but here's my current OFP breakdown for 40 or better. Think we are pretty similar, I have a few more in the 45 and 45+ range.
