A month into the first season with the ABS system in place, the biggest takeaway is, “The baseball world didn’t end.” Challenges have been infrequent, as expected (coming on approximately 1% of pitches), and memorable moments have been created.

The first month of the Minor League season is in the books, and looking at each system's hottest hitter can be instructive. A year ago at this time, Konnor Griffin (Pirates) was showing why he had the highest ceiling in the 2024 Draft. Roman Anthony (Red Sox) and Moisés Ballesteros

SAN DIEGO -- Pete Crow-Armstrong made a point on Tuesday night to praise manager Craig Counsell and the Cubs’ staff for keeping the center fielder in the lineup every day and maintaining a belief that he would pull out of his early season offensive lull. “To repay them, I’d like

The Reds have a long-standing partnership with local pizza chain LaRosa’s. If Cincinnati pitchers put together 11 strikeouts in a home game, fans in attendance can use their ticket to redeem a free pizza within the next week. But even in several years of this promotion, we’ve never seen the

ARLINGTON -- Now that was vintage Nathan Eovaldi. Staring down a potential fourth straight loss, the Rangers turned to their co-ace to stop the bleeding. He did what was expected of him.

CHICAGO -- There’s been much talk centered upon a new White Sox brand of baseball for the 2026 season dating back to SoxFest in January. That talk manifested itself in positive results during the month of April, capped off by a 3-2 victory over the Angels in 10 innings on

Gerrit Cole threw 60 pitches in his third rehab start with Double-A Somerset on Wednesday afternoon, taking another significant step toward his eventual return to the big league mound.
