Seattle, LA, NYY have.  Giants are said to be working on something and the Astros have their own thing based more on the analytics than the actual training methods.

It was something Billy had been working towards and I'm hoping Minasian builds on.  I'm gonna try and see if either Toronto or Atlanta has made any efforts in the area.  I don't think Toronto ever did, and given the large number of arms Atlanta has collected it seems like something they would have done.  It's stuff like that I think would be more likely to carry over than anything those front offices did with personnel, imo.

@Adamyou got any insight on this?

@Adam TY....   Safe to say based on that comment that the Braves were ahead of the curve at the time.

Lets hope the Angels catch up.

Interesting part of this Interview, was Canning mentioning using more analytical, can't wait to see the changes and hopefully good results.

Only on the cusp of Spring Training is a video of two dudes walking through a parking garage considered exciting.

Smart. With the Angels' luck, they would have tripped and pulled an ACL.

Had a clubhouse pass for spring a few times.... so i got to enter the stadium where the players and staff do

And being that its spring, and nobody knows who any of the minor league guys are, or non stars in general, out of uniform, it was annoying how many autograph requests i got.

I obviously made time to sign for all the kids. Told a few of them how rare a babe ruth autograph on an angels hat was. But every one of them was sad i wasnt trout.

No, there aren't THAT many.

Looks like Arte is in camp. He normally holds a media session at ST, so I wonder if he holds one over Zoom in the coming days.
