The Making of an Ace: Dr. Mike Sonne on Nate Pearson's Development & Pitching Advancements + Concern Over Montoyo?

Two things about Stoeten: 1) He's old and reliable and 2) if he
offers you a hamburger, politely decline. You've been warned. Drew
(And)rew welcome ProPlayAI chief scientist, Dr. Mike Sonne, to
today's show (5:00). The scholarly Dr. Sonne details ProPlayAI's
technology and how pitchers like Nate Pearson are using these
programs to further their understanding of biomechanics. In what
ways are biomechanics/ProPlayAI being utilized to help Pearson and
other users (7:30)? Does Pearson's cerebral, thoughtful approach to
his craft help him better understand the benefits of sound
biomechanics (12:30)? How does player health factor in when
analyzing data (15:00)? Will players employing the use of
ProPlayAI's understanding of biomechanics, open the door for
athletes who we may not have originally thought of as having a
chance (18:15)? Which player does Mike believe could benefit from
improved biomechanics (22:00)? Drew and Andrew bid farewell to Mike
and recap Toronto and Nate Pearson's performances against Atlanta
(25:30). Could Pearson benefit from a seasoned catcher? Potentially
a guy who's worn a Jays jersey at one point (33:30)? Is Toronto's
bullpen the surprise standout for the club so far this season
(37:30)? Lastly, Charlie Montoyo isn't working out (44:45).Follow
