Wolforth Throwing Mentorship: Article 61
Ron Wolforth
Demystifying the Curveball, Pitch Counts, and Weighted Balls- Part 1 You know what I love about the holidays? Good food, time with family, and the unspoken rule that nobody brings up religion or politics at the dinner table. Why? Because they're powder kegs. Topics that bring out deep-seated beliefs and strong emotions. Well, I accidentally lit one of those powder kegs recently, except it wasn't at the dinner table. It was on social media. Our team posted a short clip of me at Boot Camp making what I thought was a pretty straightforward point: simply avoiding the curveball is far from a guarantee of arm health. I wasn't trying to be provocative. I was just stating what I believed to be obvious after 30 years of doing this work. But boy, did a few people have problems with it. It became one of the most discussed posts in Ranch history....

Back-to-Back MLK East for Phillies
Hannah Jo Groves
TBT Phillies Scout run rules for second straight MLK East Championship The 14U TBT Phillies Scout Team overtook A3 Academy Futures 14-6 in the final game to win their second straight 2026 MLK East Championship. Though the skies were blue and the sun was out in Fort Myers, Florida, the air was very chilly. The wind whipped through the palm trees as players, parents and friends piled into the 5-Plex Player Development Complex bundled up in blankets, hoodies and beanies. The A3 Academy Futures were first up to bat - and the TBT Phillies struggled through the first frame. The first run came across on a balk; the second came soon after off a double from Gabriel Messing. “I was surprised that they scored right away off the jump,” Kingston George said, an outfielder for TBT Phillies Scout and this year’s MVP of the 14U East MLK championship. “We were kind of quiet...

MLK West Scout Notes: Days 3-4
Steve Fiorindo
MLK West Scout Notes: Days 1-2 Markus Chandler, RHP, Westside HS Class of 2027 A little on the undersized side as a sub 6 footer, but Chandler can generate some velo and spin. Spun 3 frames of hitless ball for Spects National with zero walks and 6 strikeouts. Committed to Kansas State, the righty ran the fastball to 92, living 89-92 pumping the zone with 75 percent strikes. Looked like two different breaking balls, with the SL 80/81 (spin in 2500’s) and curveball 75/76. No hard contact, little contact at all off the righty in this dominant outing. To follow up the pitching performance, Chandler swung the bat well on Championship Monday (Trademark Pending) with 5 RBI and three hits on the day, regularly on the barrel. Trevor Alons, RHP, Centennial HS Class of 2028 Lean framed sophomore with a quick, whippy arm. Playing up a few classes, you might...
