With only two FAAB periods left, the back half leans on stat-category streaming for both hitters (Coors Field- and heat-fueled power bats, stolen-base burglars) and pitchers (matchup-based volume plays, short-outing ratio helpers, and a crowded, unsettled closer picture).

Send us Fan MailTommy John surgery shouldn't feel like a rite of passage for teenage pitchers, yet more high school baseball players are dealing with UCL tears and elbow sprains before they ever graduate. We sit down with Dan Deleandro, a sports physical therapist at Ohio State University Sports Med and an assistant varsity baseball coach, to get honest about what he's seeing in the clinic and on the field and why the elbow is taking the hit more than the shoulder.We dig into when throwing injuries show up most often, from cold early spring days with rushed warm ups to late summer fatigue after a packed travel baseball schedule. Dan breaks down the top risk groups, why velocity increases raise the stakes, and what changes once the elbow growth plate closes. We also challenge a few common pitching injury myths, including what the research says about curveballs, why fastballs can be the biggest stressor, and why a hard slider can become a problem before a player is ready.From there, we get practical: smarter workload decisions for weekend tournaments, mechanics fixes that improve energy transfer and reduce arm stress, and “non negotiables” for pregame arm care. Dan also shares a clear eyed Tommy John recovery timeline for high school athletes and a story that shows how easily return to play can get rushed when emotions take over. If you coach, parent, or play youth baseball, this is a roadmap for protecting arms without killing development. Subscribe, share the show with a coach or parent, and leave a review so more programs hear this before the next injury.Support the showFollow: X | @BCUPod / IG @baseballcoachesunplugged Website - https://www.athlete1.netSponsor: The Netting Professionalshttps://www.nettingpros.com
Cardinals President of Baseball Operations Chaim Bloom joins Kevin Wheeler on Sports on a Sunday Morning to discuss the growth of the Cardinals' young roster, handling injuries and creating opportunities for players throughout the organization. Bloom talks about Leo Bernal's first taste of the majors, the upside of Joshua Baez, the importance of catcher depth and positional versatility, and managing the workloads of young pitchers. Bloom also explains the Cardinals' bullpen roster decisions, the plan to reduce Kyle Leahy's workload late in the season, and announces that left-hander Cooper Hjerpe is being called up to work behind Leahy. Bloom discusses Hjerpe's return from Tommy John surgery, what makes his delivery difficult for hitters and what the former first-round pick has shown at Memphis.
Andre Robertson on Texas, the Yankees, and the accident that changed everythingFormer Major League shortstop Andre Robertson joins Melvin E. Edwards to trace a career that moves from Orange, Texas to the University of Texas, the New York Yankees, and the 1981 World Series. He also reflects on the racial barriers he faced, the coaches and teammates who shaped him, and the car accident that reshaped his playing career and life.We discuss:How Andre fell in love with baseball as a kid in Orange, why Texas was the right choice over going pro right out of high school, and what it meant to become the first African American baseball scholarship player at UT. He also shares stories about Yogi Berra, Rickey Henderson, Reggie Jackson, Tommy John, and George Steinbrenner.Key topics* Andre recalls growing up in Orange, Texas, where he started organized baseball at age 8 and played with some of the first Black Little League players in his area.* He tells two clubhouse stories, including Yogi Berra's strange instruction to “pair up in threes” and Rickey Henderson's third-person humor.* His father coached him early on and helped shape his approach to competition, discipline, and team-first thinking.* Andre talks about seeing Willie Mays as a kid and realizing he wanted to play at the highest level.* He explains how a state track meet in Austin led to Texas coach Cliff Gustafson recruiting him after seeing his athleticism.* At Texas, he had to switch from shortstop to second base, where assistant coach Bill Bethea helped refine his footwork and turn him into a better pro prospect.* He reflects on the 1979 College World Series, Texas' dominant run, and the disappointment of being knocked out by Arkansas and a California team.* Andre describes the social reality of being the only Black player on the Texas team for three years and how he responded to racism by focusing on the game.* He talks about leaving after his junior year, later returning to finish his degree in 1992 through correspondence courses.* Andre explains the culture shock of going from Orange, Texas to New York City and how he mentally narrowed his focus to handle Yankee Stadium pressure.* He shares his major league debut in 1981, Reggie Jackson's advice to “do what you did to get here,” and the confidence boost from getting hits in his first game.* He reflects on the 1981 World Series, his limited role as a pinch runner, and the humility of being part of a championship-caliber roster.* Andre remembers Tommy John as a friendly teammate and as a pitcher whose elbow surgery and long career made an impact on the game.* He discusses George Steinbrenner's demanding standards and says the owner's expectations matched the Yankee tradition of winning.* Andre recounts the 1983 car accident that fractured his C2 vertebrae, his long recovery, and the blessing of being able to return to baseball at all.* After playing, he moved into substitute teaching briefly and then spent decades working at DuPont, now Dow.* He closes with a look at his family, including three successful children, and his plans for retirement, golf tournaments, and more time with his wife.* The episode ends with his playful Texas and Texas A&M rivalry story, including the card-signing event where Aggies were reluctant to take UT pictures.Notable quotes“My father always told me, you don't need to talk about yourself, but let other people tell your stories.”“Do what you did to get here.”“It wasn't lucky, I was blessed.”Media Well Done, LLC Get full access to Melvin E.

The Prospect Warehouse Podcast goes inside the journey of one of the most intriguing young pitching prospects in baseball.Tim Kanak (@fantasyaceball), Darren “Doc” Eisenhauer (@DocEisenhauer) and Jon Anderson (@JonPgh) sit down with Washington Nationals pitching prospect Travis Sykora, ranked #25 overall in Tim Kanak's prospect rankings, for an in-depth conversation about his journey from amateur baseball to professional pitcher.Travis Sykora opens up about what it was like becoming a professional baseball player, his unforgettable MLB Draft Day story, and what goes through the mind of a young player suddenly realizing his dream of playing professional baseball is becoming reality.The conversation also gets deep into the most important part of Sykora's development: his pitching arsenal. We discuss his fastball, breaking pitches, secondary offerings, velocity, pitch development, how he attacks hitters, and what makes his profile so intriguing for both MLB scouts and dynasty fantasy baseball managers.And then there's the comeback.Sykora talks candidly about Tommy John surgery, the rehabilitation process, the physical and mental challenges of returning to the mound, and what he's learned about pitching and himself throughout the recovery.• Travis Sykora's journey to professional baseball• His MLB Draft Day experience• Becoming a Washington Nationals prospect• His fastball and complete pitching arsenal• Pitch design and development• How he approaches hitters• What makes his stuff so exciting• The reality of Tommy John surgery• Rehab, recovery and returning to competition• The mental side of recovering from injury• His goals for the next stage of his career• What dynasty fantasy baseball managers should know about his futureTravis Sykora is one of the most fascinating young arms in the Nationals organization, and this conversation provides a perspective you simply can't get from a scouting report or box score.If you're a dynasty baseball manager, fantasy baseball player, MLB prospect evaluator, Nationals fan, or baseball scouting enthusiast, this is a must-listen.
Two stories featuring one of the more rage-addicted pitchers of all time (no, not Johnny Allen, but good guess), one in which he overestimated a Hall of Famer's rigidity and got ejected for it, another when he had simply had enough and removed himself from the situation—a self-destructive impulse that, in select circumstances, it might well be liberating to emulate. Plus: We revisit a segment on Tommy John, who passed away this week, and an occasion when his pitching arm was badly hurt—no, not that time. Another one! The Infinite Inning is a journey to the past to understand the present using baseball as our time machine. America's brighter mirror, baseball reflects, anticipates, and even mocks the stories we tell ourselves about our world today. Baseball Prospectus's Steven Goldman shares his obsessions: history from inside and outside of the game, politics, stats, and Casey Stengel quotations. Along the way, we'll try to solve the puzzle that is the Infinite Inning: How do you find the joy in life when you can't get anybody out?

Steven A Smith of ESPN is given a thumbs down award from the National Association of Black Journalists and he has now vowed to report things he says he's known for years about this organization.
