Happy holidays, baseball fans. As our gift to you, we're back with the tradition we are determined to make happen: our yearly list of every team's longest home run of the season just past. Admittedly, we always think these lists make for good gifts, but we have a pretty good

Nick Kurtz. Drake Baldwin. Roman Anthony. Trey Yesavage. Nolan McLean. They and so many other rookies left their marks on the 2025 season. One year ago, they were mere prospects who had yet to make their MLB debuts, and another host of newcomers will inevitably be difference-makers for their clubs

While the old adage says that a win is a win, most would agree that not all victories are equal in terms of overall significance to a team -- or simply from an entertainment perspective as a fan. With that in mind, and with the help of all 30 MLB.com

The 2026 Baseball Hall of Fame writers' ballot includes 12 first-time candidates. While they all won't end up enshrined in Cooperstown, and while it's possible that none of them will ever be inducted, each of them had at least one season in which they performed at a Hall of Fame

There are 120 Minor League Baseball teams, and they each play approximately 70 home games a year. In the interest of not doing math, let's just say this results in a lot of gameday promotions over the course of the season. Theme nights, giveaways, celebrity appearances and more are a

When we rank prospects at MLB Pipeline, it’s always with a long-term-potential frame of mind. We’re trying to project what kind of big leaguer each of these Minor Leaguers are going to be, so we look at tools or stuff and how we think each player will use them consistently

Tony Vitello might be first. But he’s also fate. When the Giants made Vitello the first college head coach to go directly to managing an MLB team earlier this offseason, people understandably described it as a shocking, sea-changing move. And people are justifiably curious to see whether Vitello, who won

We talk about individual breakouts throughout the season -- hitters and pitchers who exhibited impressive growth to unlock another level in their prospect stock. Pile enough of those up, maybe throw in some nice additions through trades and the Draft and you'll notice that farm systems as collectives can have

A bounty of boxes remains untouched beneath holiday trees, but when it comes to awards from MLB, those have all been handed out already. There were a lot of them in 2025, including: *BBWAA Awards (MVP, Cy Young, Rookie of the Year) All-MLB First and Second Teams Hank Aaron Awards

There are 27 players on the 2026 Baseball Writers’ Association of America (BBWAA) Hall of Fame ballot, and their careers went in so many different directions. Some were paragons of stability.

Cody Ponce is far from the first Major Leaguer to go overseas and return having found something that makes him a better pitcher than his first go-around in the big leagues. Asked what he found, however, the new Blue Jays pitcher doesn’t cite a mechanical tweak, a new pitch or

As we say goodbye to 2025, it's a good time to revisit some of the best moments of the past season. From 13-strikeout complete games to multiple four-homer performances, the 2025 campaign featured excitement all across MLB. With the help of all 30 MLB.com beat writers, here's a look at
