    MEDIA CLIPS – July 20, 2017 Arenado thrives with unconventional technique Uncommon footwork paying off at plate for Rox slugger By Joe Trezza / MLB.com | 10:00 AM ET NEW YORK -- Give it a few years, some in the Rockies' organization believe, and the Major Leagues could be a league littered with players like Nolan Arenado. Not in terms of production -- not everyone woke up Thursday fresh off a three- homer game and eyeing a third straight RBI title -- but in hitting approach and style. Baseball is a copycat game. Do something at the plate a little differently and very well, and soon someone is bound to mirror it. Baseball people don't think it a coincidence Giants prospect Christian Arroyo resembles Buster Posey in stance and swing, or how Jose Bautista's leg kick led to Josh Donaldson's and Justin Turner's, and on and on. The next trend may come from a mechanical tweak in Arenado's load some are calling the driving force behind not just the third baseman's homers, but also his future standing as a pioneer. "It's now three straight years, and he comes in at the break and he's leading baseball in RBI," Rockies broadcaster and former outfielder Ryan Spilborghs said. "You start paying attention to him. Mechanically, what does he do?" It's what Arenado does with his back (right) foot, specifically, during his swing that is turning heads. Slow down the video of his three-homer game Wednesday. Before each one, Arenado actually lifts his back foot off the ground prior to stepping with the front foot, a momentum-creating motion that essentially gives him a running start into the pitch.

    LINE DRIVES THE NATIONAL COLLEGIATE BASEBALL WRITERS NEWSLETTER (Volume 48, No. 3, Apr. 17, 2009) The President’s Message By NCBWA President Joe Dier NCBWA Membership: With the 2008-09 hoops season now in the record books, the collegiate spotlight is focusing more closely on the nation’s baseball diamonds. Though we’re heading into the final month of the season, there are still plenty of twists and turns ahead on the road to Omaha and the 2009 NCAA College World Series. The NCAA will soon be announcing details of next month’s tournament selection announcements naming the regional host sites (May 24) and the 64-team tournament field (May 25). To date, four different teams have claimed the top spot in the NCBWA’s national Division I polls --- Arizona State, Georgia, LSU, and North Carolina. Several other teams have graced the No. 1 position in other national polls. The NCAA’s mid-April RPI listing has Cal State Fullerton leading the 301-team pack, with 19 teams sporting 25-win records through games of April 12. For the record, New Mexico State tops the wins list with a 30-6 mark. As the conference races heat up from coast to coast, the NCBWA will begin the process for naming its All- America teams and the Divk Howser Trophy (see below). We will have a form going out to conference offices and Division I independents in coming days. Last year’s NCBWA-selected team included 56 outstanding baseball athletes, and we want to have the names of all deserving players on the table for consideration for this year’s awards.

    MEDIA CLIPS –April 29, 2018 Blackmon hits NL-leading 9th homer in loss Marquez's solid outing not enough as Rockies' bats can't overcome early deficit By Glenn Sattell / Special to MLB.com | Apr. 27th, 2018 MIAMI -- Miami welcomed back a pair of familiar faces to Marlins Park on Saturday and both played key roles in a 4-1 win over the Rockies, evening the three-game series at one game apiece. Through five innings, the Rockies did little against Marlins left-handed starter Wei-Yin Chen (1-0), who was making his first Major League start since May 1 of last season. But Charlie Blackmon opened the sixth inning with a 429-foot home run into the right center-field seats to cut the Marlins' lead to 3-1. It was his ninth homer of the season and eighth on the road. Ian Desmond followed with a double and a one-out single by Trevor Story put the tying runs on base marking the end of Chen's long-awaited return. "It looked like he was moving the ball in and out," manager Bud Black said of Chen's success. "It looked like there wasn't a lot of bad misses. The fastball was a little sneaky velocity. We knew he had a little life in his fastball. It was more about the fastball command." The Marlins worked out of the jam when reliever Nick Wittgren struck out Chris Iannetta and then got Gerardo Parra to fly out to end the inning. Derek Dietrich got that run back for the Marlins, leading off the seventh inning with his third home run of the year, a 393- foot blast off Rockies reliever and former Marlin Mike Dunn.

    Cincinnati Reds Press Clippings August 30, 2017 THIS DAY IN REDS HISTORY 1998-Bret Boone is named National League Player of the Week MLB.COM Schebler's slam leads to win over Mets By Anthony DiComo and Andy Call / MLB.com | 12:28 AM ET + 57 COMMENTS CINCINNATI -- Joey Votto's patience and Scott Schebler's power remained a lethal combination for the Reds, who leaned on three walks from the former and a grand slam from the latter Tuesday in a 14-4 win over the Mets at Great American Ball Park. Schebler also walked, scored twice and singled home a run, matching his career high with five RBIs. Each of those came against Mets rookie Chris Flexen, who allowed seven runs in 4 2/3 innings to bloat his ERA to 6.89. For that, Flexen could mostly thank Schebler, whose first-inning slam made him the third Reds player to reach 27 homers. "This kid has the opportunity to be a real beast," Reds manager Bryan Price said of Schebler. "The power is phenomenal." Votto's three walks gave him eight in his last two games and 112 on the season -- 16 more than anyone else in baseball and 26 more than St. Louis' Matt Carpenter, his closest National League rival. Votto also singled home a run and Adam Duvall hit a three-run homer during a seven-run, eighth-inning rally, which prompted the Mets to use backup catcher Kevin Plawecki on the mound for the second time this season. All the offense made life easy for Reds starter Sal Romano, who held the Mets to three runs in six innings.
