CINCINNATI ENQUIRER B-Lark University: Barry Larkin shapes young stars…until he’s ready to manage the Reds EVERY OFFSEASON, PLAYERS LIKE DEE GORDON AND FRANCISCO LINDOR SEEK OUT THE PRIVATE COACHING OF BARRY LARKIN. TAKE A VISIT TO B-LARK UNIVERSITY. Zach Buchanan, [email protected] ORLANDO – It wasn’t yet winter break, but the walkways at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at Disney World were teeming with people. The Pop Warner football national title game was about to kick off on an oddly muggy day in early December, and everywhere parents were leading their children by the hand. There was a special guest for the coin toss. Mickey Mouse, the Don of Disney World himself, walked up the 50-yard line, his entrance accompanied by the most distressingly overproduced and poppy version of the Mickey Mouse Club theme song ever heard. But over the din, loud thwaps could be heard from a nearby building. There, in a narrow caged patio that nobody noticed lodged underneath a staircase, Cincinnati Reds great Barry Larkin was being repeatedly punched. Reds prospect Shed Long was doing the punching, working combinations on Larkin’s padded hands. Long’s first right jab at the Hall of Famer caused Larkin to cringe and shake the appendage loose as if he’d just caught his fingers in a car door. It’s here that Larkin spends his winters, training pro ballplayers who don’t understand the meaning of “off” in “offseason.” They box, an activity Larkin felt helped him in his playing days. They lift weights. They shag fly balls and take batting practice, and then run through infield drills on the same fields used by the Atlanta Braves during spring training. Seattle Mariners center fielder Dee Gordon, Larkin’s original pupil, calls it B-Lark University. He even had T-shirts made. The camp is technically an offshoot of the Tom Shaw Performance camp, which mostly serves professional football players. But over the years, more and more baseball players have flocked to Orlando to work with the former Reds shortstop. Gordon was the first, taken under Larkin’s wing at the request of Gordon’s father five or six years ago. Then came Cleveland Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor. Other pupils include Long and Gordon’s younger brother Nick, a top prospect with the Minnesota Twins, as well as outfielder Carlos Gonzalez and Reds outfielder Jesse Winker. On this particular day in December, Larkin also worked with Los Angeles Dodgers prospect Edwin Rios. Larkin does just about everything the players do, his physical fitness belying his 53 years of age. He prides himself on being able to keep up. It’s the kind of hands-on work he enjoys, and the same kind of instruction he offers to Reds minor-leaguers during the season as a roving coach with the organization. Except here, there are fewer pupils and more one-on-one coaching to go around. For the present, the Reds legend wouldn’t spend his time any other way. But he has thought about his future in the game. And now, more than any time before, he feels the desire to manage. But only for the Reds. New offseason Larkin used to spend his winters golfing. He’d work out to stay in shape, but didn’t have any other responsibilities. Then he got a call from former big-leaguer Tom Gordon, one of his contemporaries in the game. At the time, Gordon’s son Dee was trying to establish himself in the majors as an infielder with the Dodgers. Would Larkin mind working with him? “I was like, ‘Yeah, but if Dee wants to work with me, Dee’s got to call me. Not his daddy,’” Larkin remembered. “So Dee called me.” Initially, the pair worked out at a local high school. A few years later they were joined by Lindor, then a top prospect for the Indians. When home run balls started breaking classroom windows, it was clear that new digs were required. Larkin approached Shaw about adding a baseball component to his performance camp, and the last three years B-Lark University has called the ESPN complex its home. Players pay for the physical training portion offered by Shaw, but Larkin charges nothing for his baseball tutelage. If you come willing to work, he’ll coach you up. The younger Gordon has been working with Larkin almost as long as his brother. Long has been coming here since 2015, when the Reds moved him off catcher to second base. The previous spring, he was told to forget hitting and just follow Larkin around to work on fielding. Now he follows him in the winters as well. “You’re getting the best teaching in the game, in my opinion,” Long said. A typical day begins early in the morning with weight lifting. Larkin’s pupils mix with other major leaguers like Martin Prado, Ender Inciarte and Luis Valbuena, all of who train at the Tom Shaw camp in the mornings but handle their own baseball duties in the afternoons. Then, they box. Larkin picked up boxing and other martial arts during his playing days, training in the offseasons with a man who worked as a security guard at Riverfront Stadium. He found it helped him keep an aggressive mindset at the plate and in the field, and trained him to be more directional rather than rotational with his swing. While Rios, Long and the younger Gordon took turns working on a heavy bag, Larkin translated boxing into baseball. He reminded Long that the proper hip and torso rotation on a certain combination of punches should feel like turning a double play. (At one point, Long knocked the heavy bag out of its mooring in a steel rafter above. When he turns double plays, incoming baserunners would be wise to duck.) In any given session, Larkin will throw plenty of punches in demonstration. “It’s important that I can talk it but also physically do it,” he said. “I think the guys appreciate that and they respect that.” After boxing, Larkin’s charges take fly balls while the Hall of Famer takes laps around a track. Then it’s on to the true baseball stuff. First comes infield drills. This day, Larkin hit grounder after grounder to Rios, Long and Nick Gordon as they turned double plays. All of them wore only a flat glove, basically a leather oven mitt that allows a player to stop an incoming ball without breaking a finger, but not actually catch it. Then came cage work, with Larkin throwing flips to Rios in the batting cage, helping the Dodgers prospect better reach the inside pitch with his beautiful left-hand swing. Finally, at about 2 p.m., they call it a day.

  • Atlanta Braves Clippings Thursday, September 10, 2020 Braves.Com
    Atlanta Braves Clippings Thursday, September 10, 2020 Braves.com Braves set NL standard with 29-run outburst Atlanta breaks Modern Era record in National League (since 1900) By Mark Bowman ATLANTA -- Adam Duvall produced his second three-homer game within an eight-day span to help the Braves roll to a record-setting 29-9 win over the Marlins on Wednesday night at Truist Park. Duvall became the first player to record two three-homer games while wearing a Braves uniform, and his efforts helped Atlanta set a National League record for runs in a game in the modern era (since 1900). “That was pretty amazing to be a part of,” Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman said. “I’ve never seen an offense click like that.” The Braves fell just one run short of tying the modern record for runs scored in a game, set when the Rangers defeated the Orioles, 30-3, in the first game of a doubleheader on Aug. 22, 2007, at Camden Yards. Dating back to 1900, no NL club had scored more than 28 runs in a game. The Braves’ franchise record was 23, a mark tallied during the second game of a doubleheader against the Cubs on Sept. 2, 1957. Ronald Acuña Jr. contributed to his three-hit night with a three-run home run to cap a six-run fifth. But it was his bases-loaded double in the sixth inning that gave the Braves a new franchise record for runs in a single game, opening a 25-8 lead. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Atlanta became the first MLB team to score at least 22 runs through the first five innings since the Blue Jays (24 runs) in a win over the Orioles on June 26, 1978.

  • Making Cincinnati the National Epicenter for Minority Business
    2019-2020 Making Cincinnati the National Epicenter for Minority Business Development 2 – 2019-2020 Accelerator Annual Report Letter from the Chair Over the past couple of years, we have outlined a bold vision and strategic plan to grow the aggregate annual revenues of minority businesses in the region by $1 billion and subsequently create an incremental 3,500 jobs by year-end 2022. This bold vision and plan have galvanized regional and national stakeholders desiring to partner with us to not only accomplish something transformational for Greater Cincinnati, but something that might truly inform and transform this work across the nation. Our four key pillars to achieve these bold goals, which are to grow our existing portfolio firms, build a robust pipeline, attract larger-scale minority firms to the region, and create new minority firms via acquisition of mainstream businesses, have each enjoyed major developments over the past year, and have collectively served to further elevate and position the Minority Business Accelerator as a national best practice. Importantly, our bold plan and vision follow over a decade of exceptional work in the region to build larger-scale minority-owned businesses, which was perhaps best captured in a LendingTree.com report released early in 2019 that recognized Cincinnati among the top 10 metropolitan areas in the country where minority entrepreneurs are finding success. Moreover, certain categories of that very same report, namely the percentage of minority-owned businesses in operation for more than the six years, as well as the percentage of minority businesses with annual revenues greater than $500K, rank Cincinnati as number one in the nation.

Mitchell spent three seasons with the Reds, batting .332 with 50 doubles, 55 home runs and 167 RBI MLB.COM 'Breaking' news: Cingrani develops cutter Reds lefty works in offseason to add another pitch offering By Mark Sheldon / MLB.com | @m_sheldon | February 22nd, 2017 + 50 COMMENTS GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Reds left-hander Tony Cingrani can throw his four-seam fastball 95 mph, and consistent with his career, he used it often in 2016. It was so often that PITCHf/x data showed he threw his fastball more than 87 percent of the time. Cingrani started using a split-fingered fastball sometime in the second half, but he realized it was time to diversify the repertoire even more. He needed a breaking ball and used the offseason to develop a cut fastball. "It's just another way to get guys out," Cingrani said. "It gets hitters off thinking it's just going to be a fastball. I'm still trying to work on how I want that ball to move, but it's good and feels comfortable." At the suggestion of teammate and fellow reliever Caleb Cotham, Cingrani traveled to Kent, Wash., in the fall and worked out at Driveline Baseball. The facility, owned by Kyle Boddy, has gained a reputation for providing data-driven pitch training and also encourages building arm strength by playing catch with weighted balls. "Caleb is a pretty smart cat," Cingrani said.

MLB.com: Your agent, Burton Rocks, told me you are having the time of your life. How much fun are you having? Jim Riggleman: I have to preface it by saying working with and for [former Reds manager] Bryan Price was great. I love Bryan. It was kind of like when I was with Manny [Acta in Washington]. They managed well. It's just that they couldn't win ballgames. After a while, that just catches up to you. The other side of that is, now that I've become the manager, I do, absolutely, love it. I'm enjoying it to the nth degree. It's what I love to do. MLB.com: Once you took over, what made the team click? Riggleman: I think a couple of things: After about a week into the season, Eugenio Suarez got hit by a pitch and broke a finger. He was out for about three weeks. And then right around the same time, Scott Schebler, our right fielder, had a shoulder issue, and we put him on the DL for a couple of weeks.

Information gained is delivered impersonally to clubhouses. But what if there was someone who was not only highly skilled at poring over analytical information, but was also a former big league player? That's what the Reds believe they have in former reliever Caleb Cotham, who was named their assistant pitching coach on Jan. 2. "I think he's going to bring a great deal to not only our pitching staff but personally to me as well," Reds pitching coach Derek Johnson said. "He's got a really good handle on some of the analytical information that's out there." Cotham, 31, did not have a distinguished Major League career, with a 7.15 ERA over 35 appearances in two seasons.
