He's got some developing to do on his movement consistency but an 18 yr old throwing .mid 90's with his curveball is rare. He's also got the right build, just needs to fill out.
Fwiw he's been listed as a late first round pick on most every mock draft I've seen. He's the number 2 or 3 high school...

re: There is nothing like good plumbing work
Posted by baseballmind1212 on 4/27/24 at 3:14 pm
After multiple failed electrical and plumbing installs by multiple highly recommended contractors when I first moved into my house, I decided that I was smart enough to learn how to diy this kind of stuff.
Since then I have done the following:

re: How Many of You Make Enough to "Live Comfortably "?
Posted by baseballmind1212 on 4/20/24 at 6:22 pm
I don't think their numbers are far off.
A 3bd/2bth mortgage in a decent area
A "new" used middle of the road vehicle every 5-7 years.
Enough savings rate to dodge CC debt on unforeseen stuff.
1-2 <$3k vacations/year
10% to a 401k.
That seems like a pretty fair assessment of living comfor...

Shoot from cover.
I have a feeling that if I put a 7 mag sized hole in the closest ones chest, the others would start running, might even be able to pull off a 2 for 1 they're grouped close enough.

Posted by baseballmind1212 on 4/7/24 at 6:55 pm
If you're serious about it you have to have a dedicated hangout space available. A 120" screen with a cheap projector hooked up to an Xbox, a pool, a badass park close by, it doesn't matter.
For your situation, it sounds like the gaming den would be the easiest/cheapest to set up.

re: Prioritizing power tools for a home woodworking shop
Posted by baseballmind1212 on 4/3/24 at 10:03 am
My track saw is my favorite tool. Have built cabinet boxes without touching the table saw.
I'd prioritize a planer jointer combo. It's cheaper and more space saving to just bite the bullet and get a 12" combo. Game changer for materials you can use.
I'd look into building your own router stati...

Stress over work.
My job market is too hot, and I've dealt with the same bullshite for almost 10 years now.
The problems have gotten more expensive as i have moved up, but the road to a solution has stayed relatively similar.
If I was fired tomorrow I'd have another job, probably with better...

I always have issues lending stuff.
My neighbors all know I have just about every tool known to man so they're always asking.
My problem is I lend them tools to DIY stuff, which subsequently means I become their resource/reference for their diy project. It usually bucks up my whole day. So now...
