Paul, Justin, and Joe discuss a group of June Swoon hitters and where they go from here, especially the ones who've been struggling all year and not just June Source
The MLB Draft Combine takes center stage and serves as a backdrop for a discussion of the top prep position players on the latest Pipeline Podcast. Jim Callis, Jonathan Mayo and Jason Ratliff talk about which players stood out most on the first day of Combine workouts, including UCLA first baseman Mulivai Levu and Rocco Maniscalco. That leads to talk of the high school bat class, including whether Grady Emerson is the top prospect in the entire Draft, and an interview with another talented prep shortstop in Jacob Lombard. If that's not enough, Jim and Jonathan do a joint mock draft where they project each club's top selection before fielding a listener mailbag question about Phillies right-hander Gage Wood.

It's a stacked sports day at the Korner Booth Podcast! New York City came to a standstill as the Knicks celebrated their first NBA championship in 53 years with a massive ticker-tape parade. An estimated 2 million fans lined Broadway from Battery Park to City Hall, where Finals MVP Jalen Brunson was serenaded with chants, and Mayor Zohran Mamdani presented the team with the Keys to the City. The parade closed out a Finals run that saw the Knicks beat the Spurs in five games behind one of the best title-stage performances in recent memory from Brunson, capping a Finals series that averaged more than 20 million viewers, the most-watched NBA postseason since 1998. We break down the best moments from the celebration, Brunson's incredible run, and what this title means for a Knicks fanbase that's waited over half a century for this moment. Then we head to the gridiron for the 2026 UFL United Bowl, where the Louisville Kings pulled off one of the most remarkable championship runs in recent sports history. In their first-ever season as a franchise, the Kings knocked off the defending champion DC Defenders 27-20 at Audi Field, completing a perfect season sweep of DC. Running back Ian Wheeler was named United Bowl MVP after rushing for 81 yards and the go-ahead touchdown, while Louisville's defense forced a key fumble and held the Defenders to just four points in the second half. The win is even sweeter considering the Kings started the season 0-3 before rattling off a championship-or-bust turnaround. We break down how a brand-new franchise pulled off the title run in year one. We're also bringing you a Week 2 update from the 2026 FIFA World Cup, brought to you by Belly Up Sports' "Summer of Soccer." Group play has delivered drama all over North America with co-host Canada thrashing Qatar 6-0 to take control of Group B, while Switzerland bounced back from a slow start with a dominant win of their own. In Group A, Mexico sits perfect through two matches as the co-hosts push for a deep run, while South Africa and Czechia battled to a dramatic late draw. Elsewhere, the US continues group play against Australia, and Brazil looks to stay unbeaten against Haiti. We run through the standings, the biggest storylines, and which teams are trending toward the knockout rounds as the group stage heats up. And finally, breaking news out of MLB: the Home Run Derby is getting a major facelift for 2026. After a decade of using a pitch clock, MLB is scrapping the timer and going back to an outs-based, swing-driven format at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. Hitters will get 20 swings in Round 1 and 15 in each of the final two rounds, with any home run on a hitter's final swing earning them another swing, meaning a hot streak can keep the round alive indefinitely. The move comes after players like Bryce Harper raised concerns about fatigue and injury risk under the old timed format. We get into what the new rules mean for this year's Derby and which sluggers stand to benefit most. #Knicks #NBAFinals #NBAChampions #JalenBrunson #CanyonOfHeroes #UFL #LouisvilleKings #UnitedBowl #DCDefenders #FIFAWorldCup2026 #WorldCup2026 #BellyUpSports #SummerOfSoccer #MLB #HomeRunDerby #Phillies #NYKnicks #SportsNews #KornerBoothPodcast
This week on Hacks & Jacks, Scott and Brett talk through news and notes from around the league, hitters who have climbed Scott's ranks and those who have fallen in the list as well. Remember the Vargas Rule of yesteryear? "It's a rule that's applied when a pitcher who is historically not so great is performing at a high level we didn't expect. You keep starting him until he gives us a reason not to, inspired by Jason Vargas‘ ridiculous start to the 2017 season." Welp, now it applies to hitters, and it's named after Miguel Vargas. He's climbed his way to being a top-20 hitter in Scott's ranks, and he hasn't given us a reason NOT to leave him there. Scott talks about NL Central sluggers Alec Burleson and Seiya Suzuki and touches on one of the trending rookie bats in Colorado – do we stream Cole Carrigg? On the flip side, the pair laments their disappointment in big-name middle infielders, Trea Turner and Nico Hoerner. All that and more in this episode of Hacks & Jacks!

The same weekend, two of the most impressive pitching performances of the year — one from a junior at Georgia, one from a second-year Brewer. Joey Volchko punched out 15 over a complete game against Texas in the CWS opener. Jacob Misiorowski punched out 15 over a complete game against the Phillies on 95 pitches. Same number. Different level. Same underlying story about what good pitching development actually looks like.This BDH walks through both case studies in detail.Volchko in Athens — a high-upside Stanford transfer who'd been told for years to throw a four-seamer he couldn't throw. Georgia and Coach Wes Johnson got him in the lab, saw the natural cut, threw out the four-seam, made the cutter the number one, reframed the slider as a harder bullet, added a sweeper, then layered in a seam-shifted-wake sinker in the fall. They didn't change the athlete. They identified what he did best and built the repertoire around it. Result: a 15-K complete game on the biggest stage of his career, and a first-round draft profile.Misiorowski in Milwaukee — a high-walk minor leaguer two years ago, now a 105-in-the-tank big league starter throwing 95-pitch complete-game shutouts. The conversation reframes the cleanest line in modern pitching development: there is a difference between control (throwing strikes) and command (throwing strikes that play). Miz's in-zone rate is actually down. His first-pitch strike rate is up 8 points. Hitters are giving him more of the zone because they have to. The Brewers' system is the cleanest pitching development organization in baseball right now, and Misiorowski's arc is the proof.The back half opens up to the broader landscape:The Trey Turner slump — the leg-kick mechanics that have him stuck in 50/50, and why the breaking-ball whiff distance is the metric that confirms itYordan Alvarez as the actual best hitter in baseball — "Juan Soto things at Aaron Judge's size"The Aaron Judge shelf situationThe mid-season baseball tightening and the banana-peel outfield routes that came with itChristopher Sanchez's slider — average shape, elite value, because of the repertoire it lives insideA closing argument that we're watching the best baseball that's ever been playedThe throughline:The best pitching development at every level looks the same — don't fit guys into a box, find what they do best, and build the repertoire around it. Wes Johnson does it in Athens. The Brewers do it in Milwaukee. Different methods, same philosophy. This episode is the cleanest articulation of that idea Trevor and Dan have done on the pod.00:00 Intro · CWS Weekend, Two 15-K Games 01:30 Joey Volchko · 15K vs Texas in Athens 04:00 The Georgia · Wes Johnson Pitching Lab 07:30 Don't Fit Pitchers Into a Box · The Individual Build 11:30 The Four-Seam, the Cutter, the Sinker · Repertoire Construction 15:30 The 48/37 Pitch Mix · When Off-Speed Is the Fastball19:30 Beyond Nasty Stuff · The Next Layer of Pitching Development 24:30 Misiorowski · 15K vs the Phillies on 95 Pitches 28:00 Control vs Command · The Real Distinction 32:30 The Brewers as the Banner Pitching Development Org36:00 The Regression-Proof Fastball 40:00 Trey Turner · The Leg Kick and the 50/50 46:00 Aaron Judge on the Shelf · The Best Hitter Conversation49:00 Yordan Alvarez · Juan Soto Things at Aaron Judge's Size53:30 The Tightened Ball · Banana-Peel Outfield Routes 58:00 Christopher Sanchez's Slider · Why Repertoire Beats Pitch Grade1:02:00 Closing · The Best Baseball That's Ever Been Played

This week on Hacks & Jacks, Scott and Brett talk through news and notes from around the league, hitters who have climbed Scott's ranks and those who have fallen in the list as well.

Spin Never Lies: How Rapsodo Develops Hitters & Pitchers | Brian Page, Director of MLB & Special Accounts, RapsodoExit velocity only tells you the ball was hit hard.

They break down why spin rate is Rapsodo's bread and butter, how optical measurement of the ball's lace pattern delivers best-in-class spin data, gyro (bullet) spin and why softball is full of it, and the live-on-live overlay that's changing how athletes train.They also get into the philosophy that makes the tech matter: development over report cards, starting every athlete with a baseline before chasing numbers, making technology a community project, and how ball flight data is getting athletes seen and recruited at every level — D2, D3, JUCO and beyond.

The Approach Angle Nate Schwartz (@_nateschwartz) and Kyle Bland (@blandalytics) talk about four hitters who are doing something new. After spending the last couple of weeks building up the analytical toolkit on the hitting side, the two investigate hitters who are doing something new—for better or worse. They start with Gunnar Henderson's struggles, looking at how his swing has changed from past years and the effect that has on his decision-making. Then, they look at Munetaka Murakami's breakout season and talk about how his approach is sustainable despite an exceptionally high whiff rate. After that, they take a stab at why Fernando Tatis Jr. has no home runs and project what he'll look like for the rest of the season and beyond. Finally, they evaluate Jordan Walker's breakout season, and why a bunch of small changes are going a long way.

The single-elite-pitch era is closing out. Hitters caught up. Flatter swings, simpler load patterns, machine prep against any movement profile, and the discipline to ride out their front side mean a 70-grade four-seamer alone doesn't survive third time through the order anymore. The new edge is repertoire.Trevor and Dan break down why pitching development has shifted toward stacking multiple fastballs at the same velocity. Zach Wheeler throws three. Paul Skenes throws three. Cam Schlittler, Peyton Tolle, Davis Martin, Christopher Sanchez — all riding multi-fastball mixes that defeat the single-pitch sit. The conversation moves through tunneling, weak contact and stolen strikes as the new market inefficiencies, why Stuff+ models miss repertoire interaction, and Corbin Burns as the canonical case study where a "below-average" sinker existed to make a 120-grade cutter play.Chapters00:00 — Open / Mother's Day intro01:53 — The multi-fastball trend: Soriano, Schlittler, Joe Ryan, Peyton Tolle02:22 — The Zach Wheeler model: why hitters caught up, and the Trajekt machine03:58 — Mizorowski as the velocity outlier04:58 — Christopher Sanchez: when even an elite pitch starts getting hunted07:22 — Corbin Burns: cutter as the engine, sinker as the steal12:46 — The two missed market inefficiencies: weak contact and stolen strikes16:48 — Peyton Tolley: adding a C-grade sinker to make a 70-grade four-seamer play21:54 — Davis Martin: 60% fastball, three variations, nothing graded above average, sub-2 ERA23:19 — Joey Volcheck and Georgia: the trend reaching college baseball24:40 — IPitch / Trajekt: how hitter prep changed the math32:17 — Multi-fastball relievers: Vodnik, Mejia, Perkins41:22 — The Stuff+ blind spot: how do you grade repertoire interaction?51:00 — Closing thoughts
Hosts: Brett Ford | Scott Chu This week on Hacks & Jacks, Scott and Brett dive into the Top 150 Hitters List, including the players who have risen the most this week and the ones that have tumbled down Scott's rankings. Are players who are out-kicking their coverage like Ozzie Albies and Munetaka Murakami sell-high candidates or should managers be holding as long as the production is still there. Other managers are being held hostage by stars that aren't producing up to their potential – like Fernando Tatis Jr. – and there really isn't much that they can do. Managers could never just drop them and a trade would get pennies on the dollar. Scott and Brett discuss the best path forward and more on this episode of Hacks & Jacks.

In this episode, I'm joined by Doug Latta and Dr. Ismael Gallo for a deep dive into one of the most misunderstood areas of baseball: player development.We break down why most hitters struggle—not because of mechanics, but because of flawed movement patterns that are developed early and reinforced over time. From youth baseball to the highest levels of the game, this conversation challenges a lot of conventional thinking around hitting, training, and long-term development.Doug shares insights from decades of working with hitters at every level, while Dr. Gallo explains the science behind movement, coordination, and how the body actually learns to perform in game environments.If you're a player, parent, or coach trying to understand what really matters in development, this episode will give you a completely different lens to look through.Chapters00:00 The Foundation of Movement Patterns in Young Athletes07:10 The Importance of Early Development in Athleticism10:19 Guiding Parents in Youth Baseball Training10:51 Throwing Mechanics: The Key to Hitting Success18:30 Balancing Mechanics and Athleticism in Hitting24:53 The Debate on Hitting Off the Tee32:46 The Importance of Efficient Movement Patterns35:38 Understanding Movement in Hitting and Pitching38:18 The Role of Timing and Vision in Hitting44:09 Movement Capacity vs. Strength Training48:54 The Dangers of Muscling Up in Hitting54:49 Advice on Bat Speed Training and Weighted Implements01:00:15 The Significance of Timing in Hitting01:07:42 Understanding Player Development and Movement Patterns01:10:15 The Psychological Impact of Failure in Sports01:14:12 Parental Influence and Support in Youth Sports01:15:50 Coaching Your Own Kids: Balancing Roles01:19:01 The Importance of Athletic Flow and Energy01:24:40 Navigating Parental Expectations and Player Performance01:29:37 The Role of Coaches and the Learning Process01:37:08 Life Lessons from Baseball: Embracing Failure and GrowthDoug Latta Twitter: https://x.com/LattaDougDr. Ismael Gallo Twitter: https://x.com/flowsdocMovement Flows App: https://baseballflows.com/ Hosted on Acast.
