If you know my work and what I love to do, this piece is right up my alley. I've rolled with all this madness, but tbh, it's sucked to not be able to have a free-flowing, one-on-one convo w/ players the last year. Hope to do much more of this going forward theathletic.com/2470499/2021…

Encourage others to do the same.

Some of these struggles are expected. We know about the lack of contact, the strikeouts, the occasional lapses with RISP. But every star having one of the worst stretches of the entire career? It's wild. theathletic.com/2091487/2020…

I tried to write an article about Yu Darvish using his slider in weird spots, and ended up writing an article about how it's impossible to classify his pitches:
