Weekly Intelligence Report & Edge

MLB-Level Insight for Serious Catcher Development

Stop Guessing What “Good” Looks Like.

If you coach or parent a catcher, let me ask you a question…

Do you actually know what elite looks like?

Not what someone said on Twitter.
Not what a showcase radar gun flashed.
Not what a recruiter “kind of hinted at.”

I mean real numbers.

Real benchmarks.

Real MLB data.

Because here’s the truth:

Most catchers are training hard…
But they’re training blind.

And development without benchmarks is just opinion.

Why I Built The WIRE

For years, I’ve had access to MLB Statcast data that most coaches never see.

Pop times.
Exchange times.
Throw velocities.
League trends.
Success rates.

Not guesses.

Not rumors.

Numbers.

The same type of information that explains why 2.0 became the magic number .

But numbers by themselves don’t make you better.

Understanding them does.

That’s why I created:

The WIRE — Weekly Intelligence Report & Edge

Every week, I break down what’s actually happening at the highest level of baseball…

And then I translate it into what it means for YOUR catcher.

What You’ll Get Every Week

🧠 The Edge Snapshot

  • Fastest pop times of the week
  • Arm strength leaders
  • Exchange trends
  • In-game vs. showcase comparisons

No fluff. Just the facts.

📊 Real Benchmarks

What is:

  • MLB average?
  • Top 25%?
  • Elite 10%?

What does 1.95 actually mean?

What velocity correlates to sub-2.0?

What release time must match 85mph?

We don’t just throw numbers around.

We explain the WHY.

Because if you don’t understand the WHY, you’re already behind.

🎥 Throw of the Week Breakdown

One elite throw.

We break it down:

  • Exchange
  • Velocity
  • Accuracy
  • Game context

Then I tell you exactly what drill translates to improvement.

Remember…

No one steals center field .

Accuracy matters.

📈 Trend Watch

Is the league getting quicker?

Is velocity increasing?

Is exchange time more important than raw arm strength?

Velocity vs. quickness isn’t a debate…
It’s math .

We show you which one is moving the needle.

🎯 Development Translation

This is where WIRE becomes different.

I don’t care about MLB numbers just to impress you.

I care about what they mean for:

  • A 13-year-old
  • A high school starter
  • A D1 prospect
  • A parent trying to make the right investment

You’ll know:

  • What’s attainable
  • What’s realistic
  • What’s elite
  • What’s a waste of time

Because big goals are good…

But unrealistic goals lead to frustration .

We set SMART standards.

Who This Is For

The WIRE is not for casual fans.

It’s for:

  • Coaches who want real benchmarks
  • Parents who want clarity
  • Catchers who want accountability
  • Families who understand that development takes work

There are two types of players…

Those who say they’re going to do the work.

And those who do the work .

WIRE is for the second group.

What This Is NOT

This is not:

  • Highlight hype
  • Recruiting fluff
  • “Hot takes”
  • Generic motivation

This is intelligence.

And intelligence creates edge.

The Bottom Line

If your catcher is serious about:

  • Starting on his high school team
  • Playing in college
  • Competing at a high level
  • Throwing better when the lights are on

Then he needs to train against real benchmarks.

Not opinions.

Not feelings.

Not what someone else’s dad thinks is good.

Real numbers.

Real standards.

Real edge.

The Work Still Has To Be Done

The WIRE won’t throw the ball for you.

It won’t magically lower your pop time.

But it will give you:

A roadmap.

And as I’ve said before…

The work you do after you leave the camp — or close the laptop — is what matters most .

If You Want The Edge

Subscribe to WIRE.

Read it.

Take notes.

Apply it.

Measure it.

Repeat.

Because development isn’t sexy.

It’s kaizen .

Small improvements.
Over a long period of time.

And that’s how serious catchers separate themselves.

Watch Me Break Down a Real Issue of The WIRE

Below, you’ll see me walk through an actual edition of the WIRE — exactly how coaches and parents receive it every week. I’ll show you the real MLB benchmarks, explain what the numbers actually mean, and break down the trends that most people completely overlook. You’ll see how pop time, exchange, velocity, and accuracy all work together — and more importantly, how small improvements in one area can completely change the outcome.

As I go through it, I’ll translate everything into clear, actionable development standards you can apply immediately. What should a high school catcher realistically be chasing? What’s elite? What’s noise? What should you ignore? This isn’t hype and it isn’t theory — it’s the same data-driven evaluation process I use when studying elite catchers, simplified so you can start building your edge right away.
