Most fathers hope to pass down their finest traits to their offspring. For former Major League All-Star shortstop Jack Wilson, that was putting bat on ball. A lot. Wilson played parts of a dozen years in the big leagues and retired with a miniscule 11.6 career strikeout percentage. That’s not

DENVER -- Many on social media are calling it the easiest steal of home in baseball history. Pirates catcher Yasmani Grandal, the victim of the theft and the man left watching as a gift run crossed the plate in front of him, called it the result of a mental lapse

DENVER -- When Pirates manager Derek Shelton was told what Andrew McCutchen had done in Pittsburgh’s 5-2 victory over the Rockies at Coors Field on Friday, he just smiled and shook his head. “We’re gonna be hearing about that now,” Shelton said. A few minutes later, as reporters spoke with

The 2024 MLB All-Star ballot features plenty of big names having standout seasons: Aaron Judge, Juan Soto, Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, Bryce Harper, Freddie Freeman … the list goes on. But if you want to go past the usual superstars, there are plenty of other deserving players who could be

We’re still about a month away from the start of the 2024 Draft, and much like Jim Callis stated in his projection last week, we’re in a little bit of a calm-before-the-storm territory. With a few exceptions playing in the Men's College World Series, topped by No. 3 prospect Jac
