This particular right-handed hurler has overwhelmed hitters all season long, and he's made quite a bit of history with his triple-digit heat. Here are the seventh Starting Pitcher Power Rankings of

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. just finished off the weakest full month of his career (.498 OPS), which might be written off as a slump, if not for the fact that it followed the third-weakest month of his career (May’s .623 OPS), which might itself be a minor concern if not for

On the cusp of his nation's 250th birthday, Captain America saved the day.

Exactly one year ago, Eric Hartman was preparing to rejoin Single-A Augusta after a stint on the injured list. He was a 20th-round Draft choice from 2024 who hit .222 with a .710 OPS through his first 39 pro games, a 19-year-old from Alberta, Canada, who was taking his lumps

Terrell Owens has done it all. The former NFL wide receiver is in football's Hall of Fame. He's acted in movies and was a three-sport star in college, even appearing in the NCAA basketball tournament. What he hasn't done is play baseball for the Phillies -- until now. The former

The best prospect showcase of the year is just 11 days away. Fifty of the most talented players in the Minor Leagues will square off in the 27th annual Futures Game presented by Nike, scheduled for noon ET at Philadelphia's Citizens Bank Park on July 12, part of All-Star Week.

CLEVELAND -- When the White Sox and Guardians met for the first time this season last week, Chicago came away with a three-game series win at Rate Field in which each contest was decided by a single run. If that proves to be an appetizer for what’s in store this
