Every spring, a group of stars find themselves in unfamiliar territory, with a stat line that doesn't match their reputations.

Here are the overall stolen-base leaders at each spot on the diamond. You can also find position-by-position leaders for home runs, hits, RBIs and WAR. Because nearly every position's all-time steals leader played in the early 1900s, when the game looked a lot different than it does today, we’re going

As the latest member of the Red Sox’s pitching pipeline reached the Majors on Friday, another young Boston arm continued to show he may not be far behind.

• Get tickets to a Minor League game While No. 6 prospect Jake Bennett debuted with five strong innings in a win

In the 22 seasons since Eric Gagne won the 2003 National League Cy Young Award, voters have essentially shunned relievers. Only one bullpen arm from 2009-25 even finished in the top three in either league. Emmanuel Clase did so in 2024, earning a third-place finish in the AL voting after

It's not often that a relief pitcher wins the Cy Young Award. There have been only nine relievers to win a Cy Young Award, and no one has accomplished the feat since Eric Gagne did so with the Dodgers in 2003. Might that streak come to an end this season?

It might be now or never for the Phillies’ 2026 playoff hopes.

In his age-38 season, Aroldis Chapman is still going strong. The flame-throwing left-hander is rewriting the history books, too. Chapman struck out Baltimore's Tyler O'Neill in the ninth inning of a 5-3 Red Sox win on April 26. In doing so, he moved into sole possession of second place on

Reds rookie slugger Sal Stewart could be on a collision course with history. Stewart recorded 29 RBIs over Cincinnati’s first 27 games this season, the most by a rookie since José Abreu’s 32 RBIs through the White Sox first 27 games in 2014.

Remember everything you thought you knew on Opening Day? Yeah, about that.

The Phillies recalled right-hander Alex McFarlane, the team’s No. 19 prospect per MLB Pipeline, from Double-A Reading prior to Friday’s game against the Braves in Atlanta. McFarlane, who joined the Phillies organization as a fourth-round Draft pick in 2022, takes the active roster spot that opened up when veteran pitcher

The Cincinnati Reds are thriving with one of the most imbalanced lineups in baseball. Although they lost to the Rays on Wednesday, snapping their five-game winning streak, the Reds entered Thursday's off-day at 16-9. They're tied with the Cubs, who are hot themselves with nine straight wins, atop the surprisingly

Reigning two-time American League Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal is dealing. Top prospect Kevin McGonigle has lived up to the hype. And free-agent acquisition Framber Valdez has been everything Detroit expected. However, no Tigers player has made a larger impact this season than catcher Dillon Dingler.

It’s only April, but Jesús Luzardo finds himself staring down one of the biggest starts of his Phillies tenure so far.

The Blue Jays have looked to Kevin Gausman as a source of stability for years, but this might be as vital as he’s ever been for Toronto. The club’s rotation has been gutted, with Trey Yesavage, Shane Bieber, José Berríos and Cody Ponce all out. Key bats like Alejandro Kirk,

Tyler Bremner is only two games into his professional career. But given how aggressively the Angels typically push college prospects, it’s certainly possible we could see the 21-year-old righty in the Majors before the end of 2026 -- especially if he continues to pitch as well as he has so

The Cubs’ uneven start to the 2026 season took another turn this week when its rotation was dealt a significant blow: Cade Horton needs elbow surgery and will miss the rest of the year. Meanwhile, Opening Day starter Matthew Boyd is also on the injured list with a left biceps

Before José Ramírez became Cleveland’s all-time leader in games played on Monday, Terry Turner had held the record for more than a century.

Mason Miller is now eight innings away from tying the record for the longest scoreless streak in Padres history. And based on how feeble opposing hitters have looked against the flamethrowing right-hander during his streak, it doesn't seem like it's going to end anytime soon.

A home run robbery is one of the most amazing feats a player can pull off, so it's no surprise that the very best of them are etched in baseball lore. One of the most dazzling moments of the 2026 season came when Jo Adell robbed a potential game-tying home

Baseball's three hardest-throwing starters all reside in the National League Central, and amazingly, none of them is named Paul Skenes.

In the end, Heliot Ramos was just like the rest of us -- staring in disbelief at Nolan McLean's insane stuff. The Mets right-hander was unhittable for much of Friday’s start against the Giants at Oracle Park, taking a perfect game into the sixth inning, but his final strikeout of

Konnor Griffin is in the Majors. The Pirates promoted MLB Pipeline’s No. 1 overall prospect prior to their home opener on Friday -- several weeks before his 20th birthday.

Spring Training stats are often meaningless. But when a hitter goes yard seven times during the spring and then swats five homers in the first six games of the regular season, it carries some extra weight. And when such a strong start also comes on the heels of a huge

MLB’s longest active scoreless innings streak for a starting pitcher reached 22 2/3 innings on Tuesday. Its longest active on-base streak hit 37 games on Wednesday. Both belong to the same person. It’s a convergence only one player is capable of: Shohei Ohtani, of course. Tuesday marked the return of
