I’m sure the video is great, and I appreciate you bringing it here, but perhaps a bullet point or 2?

To be honest with you, cliff notes are kind of difficult to formulate with this information.

TLDR would be that from an individual pitch standpoint, we may want to be cautious with our expectations considering the quality of hitters in MLB vs AA. Given everything we see from him now, he will be a pitcher who relies heavily on his command and his entire arsenal working together rather than his raw stuff overpowering hitters.

In-depth breakdown of Kade Anderson’s stuff and how it’ll translate to MLB

Posted by reauxl tigers on 8/21/26 at 1:27 pm

Unless you’re fatally allergic to advanced analytics in baseball, you’ll find this video interesting. He breaks down how to articulate Kade’s minor league success and how it might translate to MLB.

This guy isn’t strictly a stats nerd. He did play division 3 college baseball fwiw. He’s widely regarded as the most knowledgeable and innovative pitching mind in baseball media.

Cliff notes:

Minor League Performance: Anderson posted impressive numbers in Double-A, including a 41% strikeout rate and a 4% walk rate. However, the host warns that high-success, changeup-focused pitchers in the minors often struggle more in the big leagues than those with dominant fastballs or breaking balls (0:36-1:34).

Four-Seam Fastball: He sits at 93-94 mph. While the velocity is average, he benefits from a high arm angle (48 degrees), which provides good vertical movement ("vert"). Success will depend on his ability to consistently locate this pitch upstairs (1:43-2:19).

Slider Profile: On paper, the slider is average, but it is highly effective at generating whiffs. The host notes a 51% whiff rate against right-handers, suggesting he gets good results by throwing it in the zone (3:19-4:57).

Command vs. Control: Anderson displays elite command (evidenced by his 4% walk rate), but it remains to be seen if he can sustain this level of efficiency against major league hitters. He is a command-reliant pitcher rather than a pure "stuff" pitcher (5:24-6:33).

re: Where to get fitted in BR?

I'd highly recommend driving to Gretna to Bebu Golf Studio.

I have had a driver fitting at Golf Tech. Wasn't a bad experience at all, but you'll be getting way more for your money at Bebu. Guy used to work on the Titleist tour truck back in the day. He knows his stuff and his studio is awesome. We tested quite a few more combinations of shafts and heads there than I did at Golf Tech.

I drive past it at least once or twice a day since it has existed and have never once seen a wreck there. Or beyond that, never even seen more than one or two cars waiting to turn out of it.

I also pass by at least once daily and have seen 2 accidents there and definitely WAY more than 1 or 2 cars trying to get in and out of that neighborhood at the same time, especially during rush hour, which are really the only times we pass by. I know multiple people that live in there. The light was absolutely needed. They simply botched the sequencing. Hopefully they fix it.

It’s the “only exit” yet you proceed to list the 2 other ways to exit the neighborhood. Sounds like it was just inconvenient to exit the other two ways.

You're being disingenuous. That light is the most logical exit for that neighborhood. The light simply being there is not the issue. The sequencing is the issue. Fix that and no reasonable person will complain about it.

quote:
For now… That land they’re clearing out right now will want their own light too.

The light was malfunctioning Saturday and had traffic backed up almost to Gardere. Imagine that light, Starring & Gardere being out and the clusterfrick it will cause. Hell, I’m waiting for football season to see how far traffic will back up to let those 5 people out.

So then it becomes just another major thoroughfare in Baton Rouge with a lot of traffic flowing through. I don't see the use in complaining about that.

Maybe try to use one of the other 2 exits? Inconveniencing the thousands of drivers that go down Burbank for that neighborhood.

It's not about convenience, diptshit. It's about safety.

quote:
that has 2 other exits, is fricking absurd

What kind of banana world are you living in? That's the only exit for people in that neighborhood to hop onto Burbank westbound without going out the back of the neighborhood and detouring through Gardere to get to Burbank or taking Innovation to an out-of-the-way 1 lane highway in Nicholson where traffic is a joke. The only other option is to drive through the length of the neighborhood, if you live on the east side, to take the west side exit eastbound for half a mile down Burbank, and then U-turn.

The light is not THAT big of a nuisance. It's just another light at the end of the most crowded stretch of Burbank, then you get over 2 miles of no lights before you get close to LSU, where during the semester, traffic is backed up anyway.
