In Major League Baseball, a select group of pitchers have exemplified reliability by starting at least 25 games for ten consecutive seasons. This remarkable achievement underscores the importance of consistency in a pitcher's career, challenging today's metric-focused evaluations and highlighting the timeless value of dependability on the mound

Paul Skenes and other top pitching prospects are entering the MLB with unprecedented limitations. Pitch counts and inning restrictions are now the norm, but at what cost? These pitchers, heralded for their potential, are being used more like long relievers than the starting pitchers they are meant to become. This trend not only limits their immediate impact on their teams but also raises questions about their long-term value and health. As we celebrate these young talents, we must also question whether this conservative approach is truly beneficial for their careers or the sport.

In the intricate sequence of pitching mechanics, every component plays a critical role in shaping a pitcher's performance and longevity. Among these, the foot strike stands out as a pivotal moment that sets the stage for the entire pitching motion. A recent analysis of the latest 600 DVS Scores in our Baseball Injury Risk Model reveals a startling insight: only 1.3% of pitchers achieve an optimal foot strike component score. Why is this number so low, and what can be done about it?

A matchup, ODU vs. VCU, conference rivals, that had everyone on the edge of their seats, a game that would go down in history.
