75% of top-drafted pitchers never make it to the big leagues. If your son is a pitcher, this episode could change everything about how you approach his development. Subscribe for weekly baseball career insights. Former first-round pick Justin Orenduff had the GM of the Dodgers watching him pitch in Double-A. Then his shoulder gave out. That injury sent him on a decade-long quest to understand why some pitchers stay healthy and others break down. His answer is backed by data from 1,100 drafted pitchers and published with Duke University. ✅ Why 75% of top-drafted pitchers never reach the big leagues — and only 2–3% become everyday starters ✅ How college innings count against a pitcher's professional career before it even starts ✅ What the DVS score is and how it quantifies injury risk on a 0–24 scale ✅ The free training tool every youth pitcher already has access to that nobody talks about ✅ Why velocity and longevity don't have to be mutually exclusive Justin Orenduff was a first-round draft pick of the Los Angeles Dodgers who had his career derailed by a shoulder injury. After surgery, his surgeon told him something that changed his entire mindset: the way he threw the baseball caused the injury. That single phrase launched Justin into years of research, eventually partnering with Duke University to publish a formal study on pitching mechanics and injury risk. His study tracked the top three pitchers drafted and signed by every MLB organization since 2013 — over 1,100 pitchers total. The findings were staggering: nearly half arrived in professional baseball already carrying arm injuries from their amateur careers. College pitchers who needed surgery had accumulated only around 320 total innings, and that number includes their college workload. The professional runway before a major injury was shockingly short. From that research, Justin built DVS — the Delivery Value System — a biomechanics scoring model that rates a pitcher's delivery from 0 to 24 based on injury risk and mechanical efficiency. Pitchers like Justin Verlander, Clayton Kershaw, and Mariano Rivera all scored above 16. Justin himself scored a 7 before his surgery and climbed to 17–20 after learning how to move differently — throwing harder at 35 years old than at any point in his professional career. The conversation also dives into the USPBL, a four-team developmental league where Justin runs pitcher development. Unlike traditional independent baseball, the USPBL prioritizes skill development days, individualized plans, and a culture where committing to growth matters more than winning that night's game. So far, 52 players have signed with MLB organizations and 7 have reached the big leagues. Matt and Justin also tackle the uncomfortable reality behind youth pitching culture: training programs that chase velocity to validate their own business models, not the pitcher's long-term career. And they explore a simple thought experiment that every baseball family should consider: if you had to choose between a coach who promises 100 mph and a coach who promises health, which would you pick? Scroll down to the timestamps to hear why that's the wrong question. If this episode changed how you think about pitcher development, share it with a baseball family who needs to hear it.

Mike, Ali, Beau, and Tyler discuss it being busy during a race weekend at EchoPark Speedway, but that being what he lives for, what all Tyler has to do and the fires Tyler has to put out during a race weekend at EchoPark Speedway, how cool it's been to see and be apart of all the changes and transitions EchoPark Speedway has been through, all the racing and events fan can experience tomorrow at EchoPark Speedway, the Camper's Inn RV Mike and Beau are in and how nice they are, how the re-pavement and track changes to EchoPark Speedway have changed the style of racing at EchoPark Speedway, how the drivers feel about the racing at EchoPark Speedway, if EchoPark Speedway is helping NASCAR getting back to the old school plate racing that racing fans fell in love with, and how fans can get tickets to any and all of the events this weekend at EchoPark Speedway. The Morning Shift crew also reacts to Georgia linebackers Chris Cole and Darren Ikinnagbon getting arrested Wednesday night on misdemeanor charges of speeding at maximum limits and other traffic-related charges, explain why they think that there's not much else that Georgia Bulldogs Head Football Coach Kirby Smart can do to stop players from reckless driving, and then close out hour one by diving into the life of Mike Johnson in Mike'd Up!

Rich and Tim continue their discussion about the 2026 starting pitchers
Chad sits down with MLB pitcher Justin Wilson at Banded Drake Ranch for a conversation that moves from the mound to the marsh. Justin talks about his career in the big leagues. From the ups, the setbacks, the mentality that kept him there, to what separates guys who last from guys who don't. He opens up about pressure, preparation, and the work ethic required to stay relevant at the highest level of professional sports. They also dive into duck hunting and how it shaped Justin growing up, why it still plays a role in his life today, and how the outdoors balances the intensity of baseball. It's a strong conversation about longevity, discipline, and the life lessons that carry from stadium lights to flooded timber.
