One of these pitchers throws 95.4 mph. The other is 83.3 mph. Which skeleton has a higher velocity?

A ratified collective bargaining agreement is now in place thanks to a unanimous 30-0 vote according to @Feinsand. The frenetic pace of free agency will be unlike anything we have ever seen and fans are eagerly anticipating the excitement that will ensue in the coming hours.

#MLBDraft lovers might want to get familiar with @mccbaseball1 RHP Connor Phillips, a former #LSU signee. Lots of heat on Phillips — has been 95-98 mph this fall with the FB with strong secondary stuff. One scout I spoke w/ said he could be picked where Rutledge was in ’19.

I’ve talked to a lot of people over the last 24 hours about this legislation. My hunch at this point is that the notion to revote lacks momentum, but if the legislation actually gets far enough for a revote, there’s some cautious optimism. I know that makes zero sense ...

This process has been laughable, from ADs complaining that their votes were revealed to other ADs only flipping their votes because their votes were revealed as no’s. Have conviction. I disagree w/ guys like @_delconte and @soonerad, but knew where they stood and respected it.

Really like Henderson -- first round profile for me and on the short list of dudes I think likely to get popped earlier than aggregate national rankings would indicate. Developing power, good feel to hit and better in the field than he gets credit for. #MLBDraft
