Happy MLB Opening Day! ⚾ At SIC we've reviewed all 30 teams player health so you can get an injury-based edge with our proven SIC Health Score algorithm ahead of the first pitch! Understanding the impact of injuries to players and teams is crucial for anyone looking to win in Fantasy Baseball, or sports betting.

50+ home runs and 50+ stolen bases in a season. Sounds similar to being a successful founder. “As the end of season approached, Ohtani increased his record to 53 home runs and 56 stolen bases. Adding to the singularity of the moment is Ohtani’s position: He is a pitcher. Not since Babe Ruth has such a great pitcher also been such a great hitter — let alone such a great base runner. Base stealers tend to be lean and fast. Sluggers tend to be big and powerful. And pitchers are usually neither of those things. Ohtani is both. Ohtani did all this while recovering from Tommy John surgery, a type of elbow ligament repair performed almost exclusively on pitchers. To witnesses, this athletic ability can seem, at first, simply unattainable — a phenomenon out of reach for the rest of us. And yet much as we do with art, nature or other forms of beauty, we can actively engage with this kind of greatness, appreciating it not only for the feelings of awe it elicits but also for how it can inspire even the least athletic among us to accomplish more in our own lives.

#BaseballActionID - INNOVATION IN PLAYER DEVELOPMENT After the first week of the new MLB season, it feels like we're stuck in a loop – everything seems just like it was before. Every day, we hear about pitchers getting seriously injured and needing surgery that ends their season. It's becoming a common problem that pitchers, from the Minor Leagues to the Major Leagues, aren't following '𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝟮 𝗔𝗕𝗦𝗢𝗟𝗨𝗧𝗘𝗦' of Motor Preferences to keep themselves safe and healthy while pitching. This issue doesn't discriminate – it's affecting both big-name players and those who aren't as well-known. 💢 ActionTypes #MotorPreferences #MotorPreferencesinBaseball #NPB #MLB

My freshman year of college, our team was decimated with injuries. Our only senior missed all of the year with a knee injury. Our two best players were injured throughout the year, three other players had knee surgeries and we played four freshman that weren't really ready to contribute to successful teams. Needless to say, there were growing pains, low points and frustrations all season long. One thing was for certain, we had a group of the 'right' people. We were resilient (in large part because of the leadership of the staff) and we continued working. When the conference tournament came around, all of those low points and the hard work we put in began to shift. We won our Round 1 game, a 4-5 matchup with relative ease. The next day, we played the regular season champions and a historically good team as 15 point underdogs. We stunned everyone and would go on to win by 20+ and earn a spot in the league championship game. While we didn't win the championship that year (we were 2.4 seconds away from getting it done), that group was one who pushed the envelop, continued to develop and didn't accept the low points as a final stopping point. Losing is only final once you've stopped playing the game, working towards a brighter future and your ultimate goals. The only question you have to ask yourself: Do I stop here, or do I continue to fight for one more day because I believe there's more for me out there?

Its not about winning, its about finishing.
