I’m excited to announce something I’ve been building for a year — the new Baseball Rules Academy Online Rules Course. A true labor of love. The Baseball Rules Academy website remains free, but the new video-based course comes with a premium membership. Take a look 👇 ruleseducation.baseballrules…

Thanks, Ross, for mentioning my career highlight… latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-…

Thank you. I’m on it.

If you're planning to watch the @RedSox @Yankees game tonight, do it through the eyes of a network broadcaster; with all the prep work done right here. I've been fooling around with an AI agent to help me prepare for games and here is a in-depth look at the game tonight. baseballrulesacademy.com/pre…

Here is how professional broadcasters prepare for a @Braves @astros game: bit.ly/4h9t4Sg

Three things to know about Shota Imanaga: · Since the All-Star break: 3-1, 2.65 ERA, 39 strikeouts and seven walks in seven starts; Chicago is 6-1. His last outing lasted only two innings and 72 pitches, with every primary pitch at least 1.1 mph below its season average. · FOUR-SEAM — Eye-level setter. He throws fastballs up 61% of the time. The pitch has produced a .456 slugging percentage and is the primary home-run risk when elevation becomes middle rather than above the barrel. · SPLITTER — Best bat-misser: 42% whiffs, .210 average and only 25% hard contact. It supplies the vertical separation that makes the fastball/splitter tunnel work.

Three things to know about Chase Burns: · The slider accounts for 111 of 164 strikeouts — 68%, the highest of all starters. · The Reds are 18-7 in his starts and 46-65 when anyone else starts · Right-handed hitters: .501 OPS, best among MLB starters; LHH have produced a .728 OPS.

This is beautiful…John Vincent…wait for it!

Interesting stuff here.

I don't really like to get involved in these hypothetical rules questions because I am not a rules expert. I do explain rules on my website, baseballrulesacademy.com, and I'm careful to check with good sources before I put an opinion out there. The final answer on this play is "any movement that commits the pitcher to deliver the ball to the batter." Thank you, let's get back to baseball.

This could be correct. I’m checking another source. That’s why I usually never get involved in X discussions. I’ll have a definitive answer tomorrow.
