Pitches with outlier movement jump out on paper but can be hard to repeat over the course of a season. We dug into the last two years of D1 baseball data to find the tradeoff between elite movement and consistent execution🧵

Foul balls data could be the secret to the gaining an edge when scouting hitters. A hitter's foul spray tells you his timing and how to attack him. Here’s what the data says 🧵

Every pitch has a margin for error. Shape decides how wide it is. Miss the ideal spot by 6 to 12 inches and sliders gave up .112 more xwOBA on contact. We tracked the top 50 D1 pitchers with the most innings in 2026 to see how far each pitch type can miss 🧵

Last month we showed college baseball is self-selecting for supinators. Next question: does release bias change who throws more strikes?

Two pitches can share the same movement profile and location, but still reach the plate differently. We looked at every 2026 D1 pitcher to see how Horizontal Approach Angle impacted their arsenals 🧵

First-year Paradigm partners average 6 more wins and climb 11 RPI spots. Here's what a full year with us looks like, season by season🧵

Two hitters can have the same bat speed and completely different swings. Exit velo and launch angle won't show you that. Here is the swing data that shows how they got there 🧵

Your best hitter by OPS might just be getting lucky. OPS tells you who produced. It can’t tell you who will keep producing. We studied D1 offenses from 2023-26 and found the stat that predicts success as well as OPS does, and becomes reliable 5x faster 🧵

Should hitters automatically take at 3–0? Or are they missing their best chance to do damage? Here’s what the data says 🧵

One of the most data-driven teams in baseball, scouting a two-time Cy Young winner in the NLCS. What Pat Murphy points to first: “he’s got a good angled fastball” Approach angles matter, especially at the highest level. #Postseason

White Sox vs. Guardians is a college baseball ALDS. We tracked 7 of the D1 products on these rosters from their draft year to 2026. Who kept their profile, who rebuilt it, and what changed on the way up.

Whiff% can give you a dependable read on a college hitter in roughly 14 games but OPS still doesn't reach the same threshold after an entire D1 season. We analyzed 6.56M D1 pitches to find out what stats stabilize first in college baseball🧵
