This website is getting a little long in the tooth. The basic design dates back to 2021, when our only site was Twins Daily. Since that redesign, we've added nine (!!!!) sites and crammed in more new features than we can count. It's time for a ground-up rethink of everything about this website, and we need your help to do it right. A lot has changed over the past half-decade, especially for independent publishers like us: social media has throttled our reach to near-zero, Google is replacing search results with AI summaries, and economic uncertainties continue to loom over us all. As a result, we're focusing inward and doubling down on community. We offer more interactivity than ever before; we want to offer the best comments, forums, and user blogs you'll find anywhere. Features like the You're The GM! offseason tool will gain more prominence, and new features are coming that expand upon that idea. At the center of everything we do is you, the user. We only know how we use the website; your experience could differ in very important ways. That's why it's important to let us know how you use the site and how we can do things better. We can't improve without input, and yours is vital to the next generation of DiamondCentric sites. As always, thank you for being such an important part of our community!

Owen and Jesse are disappointed by the Jays losing two of three to the Yankees, but remain positive about the bigger picture and how the process has looked. There are questions about Spencer Arrighetti, José Soriano, the lack of production with runners in scoring position, and the serious power outage, but the overall vibe remains positive as the Blue Jays compete for a playoff spot. The guys touch on everything Jays from a tough series in the Bronx.

Owen and Jesse are pumped to see the Blue Jays continue to win baseball games, but they're still skeptical of the sustainability of those wins. Yet- the Blue Jays win another series, and there are plenty of positives to break down. They talk about why Alejandro Kirk hasn't gotten as much praise as he deserves, Charles McAdoo, Brett Bateman, and, of course, Louis Varland's incredible season.

What’s to Like "Intriguing" is the first word that comes to mind when I see Hill’s name and profile. Being 6-5 and lanky, left-handed, and hitting 97 mph with his fastball is just the start. Wait, what? Let's try that again. Dasan Hill is a 20-year-old left-hander who stands 6-5, has room to gain strength yet, and has already reached triple digits with his fastball. He also throws a curveball, change-up, and slider, all of which grade out as above average. Having four above-average pitches is a great profile as a starting pitcher prospect. Drafted in Competitive Balance Round B in the 2024 draft, Hill was signed for an over-slot deal of $2 million out of Grapevine High School in Texas, Hill was the only pitcher taken in the Twins' first eight picks of the 2024 draft. In 2025, he pitched with both Low-A Fort Myers and High-A Cedar Rapids. Across 19 starts and 62 innings, he had 83 strikeouts with a 3.19 ERA and 1.35 WHIP. At 20 years old, Hill is listed at 165 pounds, so one would think he could still fill out his frame some, which could help him as he continues to develop. Despite the lack of innings, Hill was named by Twins Daily as the Twins Minor League Starting Pitcher of the Year in 2025. What’s Left to Work On Like many young pitchers, Hill will need to reign in his command, as he had a 5.8 BB/9 rate this past season. Given his pitch mix, he projects to improve on those numbers, but it is something to keep an eye on and will be a part of taking a step forward. Another thing will be to stay healthy and continue working toward a starter’s workload, so pitching over 100 innings this year, would be a great accomplishment in doing this. What’s Next: Hill will be pitching his second professional season in 2026, so getting more innings and facing more hitters will be key in the next step of his development. He will likely start the year with High-A Cedar Rapids and pitch most of the year there, and as long as things go as planned, he may get his first taste of Double-A toward the end of the season, much like he did this past season, getting three starts at High-A after spending most of the year with Low-A Fort Myers. With plenty of upside, keep an eye on Hill and how he continues to grow and round out his approach in his second full season in the Twins organization.

Owen and Jesse have a busy four-game series against the Boston Red Sox to break down, but they start by debating what has changed for the Blue Jays over this recent stretch of five straight series wins. They break down the series game-by-game, focusing on the viral "fourth out rule" that broke our brains in game one, Charles McAdoo's contributions, Brett Bateman's explosion onto the scene, and José Soriano's strong but slightly disappointing second start as a Blue Jay. All that and so much more on an extremely excited episode of the Jays Centre Podcast.
