Jacob Misiorowski just kept dropping jaws in the first half of the 2026 season. Likely the hardest-throwing starting pitcher we’ve seen, his 1.62 ERA leads all MLB all MLB starters. He also leads the Majors with 167 strikeouts. Those numbers, of course, are 2/3 of the pitching Triple Crown. Misiorowski’s

MLB’s return from the All-Star break isn’t yet leaving the site of what was an epic display for the Midsummer Classic. The Mets face the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park on Thursday -- the only game on the day’s slate -- to get the second half underway, and you can

The Braves begin their second half of the 2026 season on Friday against the Rangers, when they’ll look to build on a bounce-back year that has them 55-40 and atop the NL East, though the Phillies are creeping up quickly behind them. Atlanta could use some better health down the

Even nine months later, Shohei Ohtani’s jaw-dropping performance in Game 4 of the 2025 NLCS is still making waves. The game earned Ohtani the award for Best Single-Game Performance on Wednesday night during the annual ESPYS. The Dodgers superstar, who won his fourth MVP Award in 2025, additionally took home

Whether these guys eat their Wheaties every morning, pound pregame breakfast burritos or mix in some wake-up push-ups, they’re doing something right, and it’s leading to quite a power surge. Only 21 batters who qualified -- at least 2.1 plate appearances per team game played in both 2025 and 2026

The Baseball Hall of Fame is adding a new All-Star Game “national treasure” to its halls after Tuesday’s Midsummer Classic. Among several artifacts from the American League’s 4-0 win over the National League, MLB donated the Declaration of Independence-style starting lineup card to the Hall of Fame. Each member of

Shohei Ohtani is a four-time Most Valuable Player, and he’s the proud owner of one of MLB’s Most Valuable Pups. His dog, Decoy, has made the rounds from MVP announcement shows to the inside of Ohtani’s suit coat on the All-Star Game Red Carpet. But Ohtani is no longer the

As the baseball world converged on Philadelphia this week for the MLB All-Star Game and its related activities, so, too, did a local icon become the consensus flavor of the week. That, of course, is the cheesesteak. Philly’s classic cuisine was the subject of an MLB-hosted “Cheesesteak Challenge” at the

The multi-talented Mookie Betts handled co-hosting duties alongside comedian Roy Wood Jr. at the MLB Awards in the past, but Wood is on the lookout for new talent in 2026. That’s, of course, because Betts had a minor wrist issue that saw him scratched for a game on July 1,

Kevin McGonigle has been enjoying a rookie season for the ages, between signing a long-term contract extension with the Tigers, collecting 4.7 Baseball-Reference WAR with a strong .812 OPS and earning his first All-Star appearance -- all in a matter of just a few months. Heading to Philadelphia for Tuesday’s

LOS ANGELES -- Bo Lowrance has long tried to emulate Freddie Freeman while developing his game. Now that the prep shortstop has been drafted by the Dodgers, it's quite the full-circle comparison. Lowrance, MLB Pipeline’s No. 21 Draft prospect, has been one of the hottest names in Draft circles this

Many ran out of words to describe Shohei Ohtani a long time ago, and yet, he’s still doing things that few others -- and occasionally no others -- have done in MLB history. Ohtani hit his 300th career home run on Wednesday, becoming the first Japanese-born player to reach the

A wise man once said, “Monkey never cramps.” That’s because -- at least in Munenori Kawasaki’s calculations -- they eat bananas every day. After leaving the Cubs’ 3-2 loss to the Orioles on Thursday with calf cramping, Seiya Suzuki is ready to follow in the footsteps of Kawasaki, who is

The Mets are among the few teams already deemed as likely sellers at this year’s Aug. 3 Trade Deadline, sitting with a 40-54 record and well outside the postseason picture. The number of obviously tradeable pieces may be slim, but it includes players on expiring contracts, like starting pitcher Freddy

Jonathon Long has shaken off a bit of a slow start to the 2026 season to return closer to his lofty standards at the plate, including a career night on Thursday. Long, the Cubs’ No. 6 prospect, went deep as part of a career-high five-hit performance for Triple-A Iowa. Long

Michael Arroyo has certainly enjoyed his recent promotion to Triple-A. The Mariners’ No. 4 prospect and MLB Pipeline’s No. 43 overall clubbed his first home run at the level on Thursday, contributing to an 18-4 win for Tacoma over Las Vegas at Las Vegas Ballpark. Arroyo has now been on

Baseball players are notoriously superstitious. And whether Christian Walker would identify himself as such, he's definitely at least a little sititious. Walker is enjoying a resurgent season with the Astros, posting a .791 OPS and 20 home runs heading into Houston’s final series before the All-Star break. As good as

Pete Crow-Armstrong has blossomed into one of the best players in MLB, accruing 5.8 FanGraphs WAR thus far in 2026 -- second only to Shohei Ohtani. Crow-Armstrong has used his elite defense combined with an improved offensive approach to reach this mark. Of course, “PCA” wouldn’t be reaching these heights

The Dodgers’ and Mariners’ Single-A affiliates delivered a historic barnburner on Wednesday night, the kind we haven’t seen in at least two decades. Ontario (LAD) defeated Inland Empire (SEA) 22-21 -- yes, you read that correctly -- in a nine-inning game that took three hours and 57 minutes to complete.

Junior Caminero hits a lot of home runs. And not only that, he hits them really, really hard and, often, really, really far. But you probably knew that already. That’s partially why he’s heading back to the Home Run Derby for the second straight year. Few of his moonshots have

It didn’t take long for Kendall George to make his mark after returning from injury. George -- the Dodgers’ No. 13 prospect -- is just one of a massive group of highly touted outfield talent in Los Angeles’ system and with Double-A Tulsa. But he was the hero Tuesday night.

It’s been a tough go for Cubs lefty Justin Steele as he works his way back from an elbow surgery that ended his season in 2025, but he received an unexpected pick-me-up this week that might make things a little easier. Steele posted to social media on Monday a brief

It’s almost like a rite of passage for baseball broadcasters: You simply have to joke about a foul ball entering the booth every time it gets close. And further, you have to express that you were ready to make the play if needed. But it doesn’t actually happen all that

Roman Anthony has transferred his rehab from a partially torn tendon in his right ring finger to Fort Myers, Fla., Red Sox manager Chad Tracy said this weekend. While the move does not signify a change in timeline for the young star, it’s an attempt to “get away from all

Jedixson Paez put together his best performance of the 2026 season on Sunday. The No. 19 Red Sox prospect completed four dominant innings for Double-A Portland in a 10-0 win over Altoona at Delta Dental Park at Hadlock Field. Paez allowed just one hit in the scoreless appearance out of
