Arjun goes to Toronto Blue Jays with 20th pick. The draft slot will be 3.75 million. Interesting to see if he will go under slot or overslot. There is an interview with his parents/himpredraft. https://bluejaysnation.com/news/late-cl ... nning-note
I wonder if he can negotiate for an over slot contract because he's Indian-American who is under immense pressure to go to college.
BTW, the Blue Jays have a 25 year old SS (Bo Bichette) who is playing at a near all-star level for a couple of years and projects to be very good for the next several years. He is producing at an fWAR level of 5+ which is considered all-star level of production. FWIW, fWAR is one of the better metrics for baseball value which combines hitting, base running, and defense into an overall value (Wins Above Replacement where a replacement player is basically a 4A player).

In archery , they decide if you will be left handed or right handed based on which eye is dominant.
Didn’t read the article but almost anyone that has handled a firearm knows their dominant eye. However, you typically don’t change your handedness, just which eye you align over the sight.
The article talks about changing the eye tracking the ball at the last second. It seems to have worked with Wade but we will see if it is just a fad or something that works more generally.
Indian origin Rohan Handa takes a break. Rohan news He had a prodigious rise while playing at Yale after working with Tread, an analytics-based performance tuning firm. He is tall, 6-3 and pitches left handed. He upped his speed to 97+kph but that perhaps had a toll on his arm. Then, I think he got injured and got surgery. Now he is taking a break. Wishing him the best on recovery both mental and physical, if still persisting, and back to playing baseball to make us all proud. But, seems like he got disinterested in a gruelling recovery too. I suppose his Yale degree gives him other options?
