Why you'd take that 99mph heater.

I'm very grateful for Rob's early support, to be his friend (it's not very hard work) and to be mentioned in his book!
Including interviews with pitchers such as Tarik Skubal, Paul Skenes, Chris Sale, Greg Maddux, David Cone...
As well as "outsiders" who have had a big influence the game such as @codifybaseball.bsky.social and @themagnuspi.bsky.social
Most people just see the filthy pitches.
Unhittable is the inside look at how it actually happens.

Paul Skenes, Wicked 85mph Sweeper. ๐คข
19 inches of Horizontal Break.
I was thinking one of the infielders was literally going to grab Bibee and hold him back.
Thanks my man!
I missed it live...but luckily had a bunch of folks tag me on it.

No way Tanner Bibeeโs teammates were letting him catch another popup. ๐คฃ
It can be part of it. Everything affects everything. It can change pitch movement and angles. His pitch mix has also changed, as has the separation between his pitches from 2025 to 2026.
Seldom seen home plate view of the Ripper sending an unsuspecting hitter to the Eternal IL. ๐ชโ ๏ธ

Just saw that! Very nice of him.

My pleasure--glad you liked it Dan!
Took a quick spring break trip to see Toronto and Detroit as ballparks 20 & 21 in my quest, and your book kept me company in a few breweries and restaurants along the way. Fun read! And great trivia nuggets to sling at my friends from history. Thanks, Rob!
