The Cubs today claimed RHP Eric Orze off waivers from the Minnesota Twins.
Brent Pourciau, Ph.D., M.S. retweeted
CHC already has a solid bullpen foundation ahead of the 2026-27 MLB offseason.
Butā¦claiming Eric Orze doesnāt hurt. His splitter is gross. And the FIP was 3.34 over 41.1 IP in ā26.
Should benefit from a good Cubs infield.
Brent Pourciau, Ph.D., M.S. retweeted
Eric Orze, claimed by CHC, has one of the filthiest splitters in baseball. He gets extreme drop and run, pairing it with a fastball, slider, and new slurve.
Key for him will be adding velocity; elite release traits and 4S ride, but sitting 93 MPH is limiting his ceiling.
Chicago suburbs native!
Brent Pourciau, Ph.D., M.S. retweeted
Really solid claim here for the Cubs.
Orze throws from a high slot and gets good carry on his fastball, but he really makes his money with a filthy splitter.
Solid stuff with some upside.

Rest days are not the days you threw. If 80 on Saturday the 4 days rest should be: rest day 1 Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Day 4 Wednesday. Next pitching day would be Thursday. An old rule of thumb we used for travel/tourney pitchers was rest 24 hours for every 24 pitches thrown.

I have one for my son, it is a little bit awkward at first but there is no injury risk from what I can tell, if anything it is the opposite, trying to get more velocity from the ground up and save the shoulder and elbow
Brent Pourciau, Ph.D., M.S. retweeted
Seth, it looks strange because it is a constraint drill, not a model delivery. Fixing the arms shows whether the pelvis leads while the trunk stays back instead of the arm taking over. Research supports that target; then we remove it and test transfer.

Iāve never incorporated this into any of my training but I just donāt see how this is healthy or how it is more productive than destructive. Anyone use this product that wants to weigh in?

š AAC PLAYER SPOTLIGHT š
RHP - @GreysonParker18
@OleMissBSB Commit
Scout Notes:
Parker earned his invite with a high-quality blend of athleticism, pitchability, and a deep arsenal that make him a nightmare matchup. The fastball jumps out of the hand with life and carry, playing above the radar thanks to his extension and ability to create uncomfortable angles. His changeup is a standout weapon with late action, while his developing slider adds another dimension to an already impressive mix. With a smooth operation, feel for the zone, and the ability to consistently disrupt hitters, Parker showcased the profile of a high-end starter in the 2027 class.

Your back leg is leaking velocity ā and most pitchers never feel it.
On the mound, your back leg is the only leg on the ground for about three-quarters of your delivery. Its job is to PUMP energy up the kinetic chain and build momentum toward the plate.
Brent Pourciau, Ph.D., M.S. retweeted
šØ Your warm-up shouldnāt just get you looseā¦ it should prepare you to throw harder.
Most pitchers waste their warm-up by isolating the arm.
Elite pitchers warm up the entire kinetic chain.
Your legs create force. Your trunk transfers it. Your arm finishes it.
If your warm-up doesnāt connect all three, youāre leaving velocity on the table before the first pitch.
The 3X Pitching Progression was built to:
ā
Activate the full kinetic chain
ā
Improve throwing efficiency
ā
Increase velocity potential
ā
Reduce unnecessary arm stress
Donāt just warm up your arm.
Warm up your engine.
