A handout. A workbook. Your next step.
Use this reading companion to examine arguments about pitching and the direction of baseball. It supports discussion and evidence review; it is not a training program, injury assessment, or medical guide.
Inside the resources
- State the argument precisely before agreeing or disagreeing. Separate a claim about what happened from a judgment about what the sport should value.
- Identify the evidence behind a claim. Note the source, the time period, the comparison, and any information the argument leaves out.
- Consider incentives across the organization. Players, coaches, clubs, leagues, and audiences may evaluate the same decision differently.
Workbook exercises
- Separate claim from interpretation
- Evaluate the evidence
- Map the competing priorities
