The baseball expert famously known as PitchingNinja explores the revolution that has given pitchers an unprecedented advantage in today's game.

Can Tarik Skubal three-peat as AL Cy Young? After winning Rookie of the Year and his first Cy Young, how does Paul Skenes get even nastier? Can Jacob deGrom crack 200 strikeouts again? How will Spencer Strider approach his return to dominance? Which pitchers stand to gain the most from an automated strike zone? And what separates Shohei Ohtani's approach to training from everyone else--why is he the outlier? If you're asking questions like these as the season approaches, Unhittable is just what you've been looking for to prep for Opening Day.

Pitching dominates baseball as never before. Spin rate, sweepers, 105 mph fastballs--all have become standard when evaluating pitching arms and techniques and are familiar lingo in discussion and analysis of the game. Gone is the era of the swaggering power hitters. Batting averages are close to the deadball era; team records for strikeouts are broken and then broken again. The game has fundamentally changed, and hitters may never catch up.

A self-taught coach who has evolved into a top pitching analyst, Rob Friedman has closely observed this revolution that has transformed baseball for both players and fans. Friedman is sought after by players like Cy Young Award-winners Paul Skenes and Tarik Skubal, and All-Stars such as Yu Darvish, and he spotlights the influential figures behind this transformation:

 

  • Tom House, a former MLB pitcher turned coaching visionary, utilized cutting-edge technology to refine the techniques of legends like Nolan Ryan and Randy Johnson. His unconventional methods paved the way for a new era shaped by the collision of technology and tradition.
  • Brent Strom, another MLB pitching insider, has used data to revive flagging careers--helping stars like Justin Verlander, Gerrit Cole, and Charlie Morton to use technology to enhance their performance.
  • Kyle Boddy, of Driveline Baseball, has trained elite pitchers such as Trevor Bauer, Shohei Ohtani, and Clayton Kershaw, using advanced analytics and technology, as well as others.

 

Peppered with insights drawn from interviews with top pitchers, Unhittable is an insider's look at how these advancements have been used by players themselves, and how they have fundamentally changed America's pastime.

My Dog's Favorite Toy
When my small poodle mix was rehomed to me, he came with many toys. One of them was this latex squeaky toy. It is his absolute favorite toy and I've bought several more so I have them on hand if anything happens to the original Polka-dot Pig. Amazingly, my dog is a chewer but has never used this toy to chew on - only to play with. He will sometimes play by himself with it, but usually it's a robust game of indoor fetch (he doesn't fetch outside, go figure). An added bonus is that with the inhale of air, the toy makes a different squeak that inspires my dog to howl. It's a riot. People should know that this toy is LOUD and the smaller size does not grunt, it squeaks. Another bonus is that it squeaks with the slightest touch - the dog doesn't have to find the squeaker in the toy, the whole toy is the squeaker. Oh, and it also bounces erratically, which is fun for the dog. This household will never be without Polka-dot Pig.

Product is not what was advertised!
Umm…..SERIOUSLY??!! This dog toy was supposed to be big enough for an Australian Shepherd dog to be able to play with. This dog toy was also supposed to have a pig grunt, just like all of the other pigs that are just like it. It was supposed to come in various colors, and multiple pigs-(from what I saw in the picture advertisement.) The pig was the size of a regular Altoids tinbox. This toy pig did not have a grunt, when it gets squeezed; but, it had one of the most annoying high-pitched squeaking sounds! There was only one small toy pig, and it only came in yellow. Where are the other five pigs that are supposed to go with this, if that’s what the picture advertises? How come I don’t get to choose the color of the pig, but I’m left at your mercy on what color you’re going to send me. I still have this toy pig, still wrapped up in the original plastic wrap. There is no way that I am going to give this little toy pig to this big Australian Shepherd dog, because he would tear it up within 10 seconds. I still have the toy pig, and I want to send it back for a refund. This advertiser was very misleading, and they need to pull their ad off of the site. I am very disappointed in what I received!!

Will not last long, but when on sale, decent for a few seconds
Gave this to my dog once it got delivered. It's a cute little toy and my dog loved it. Loved it SOO much that he destroyed it in about 30 seconds. It only really lasted that long because he was trotting around the house squeaking it and then decided to destroy it. My dog loved it. It's super soft and pretty small. I'd buy this again for cheap, definitely not for full price.

Squeaker broke after 3 days
I have a Boston terrier that destroys every toy! Thought we would try this one out. He really liked it. Squeaker was really good. Was is the key word after 3 days. Yes he broke it. But the rest of it is standing up so we'll have to see. I got it on sale for only $2. I wouldn't pay much more for it otherwise
