No. 2 pick Bremner continues scoreless start to pro career

April 12, 2026

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

These Mason Miller numbers don't look real -- but they are

Miller hasn't allowed a run in his past 25 2/3 innings
April 6, 2026

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.

1 year after Raleigh's 60 HRs, are we about to see ANOTHER historic catching season?

April 2, 2026

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

Wait, Ohtani has longest starter's scoreless-innings streak -- and longest on-base streak?!

April 1, 2026

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.

The Minor League season is underway, and Spencer Jones is already crushing the ball

March 30, 2026

While Spencer Jones waits for an opportunity to open up in the big leagues, he’s passing the time the only way he knows how: mashing dingers. Jones, the Yankees’ No. 6 prospect per MLB Pipeline, blasted his first homer of the season for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday, a 109.1 mph

Braves expect Strider back 'sooner rather than later'

March 29, 2026

Baseball's best outfield? Here's the Mets' path

March 27, 2026

Juan Soto is going to be Juan Soto. What happens around him is anyone’s guess -- and that’s what makes the Mets’ outfield so interesting. New York’s outfield looks entirely different than it did last year. Brandon Nimmo is gone, Soto has shifted from right field to left, and the

March 19, 2026

Carlos Lagrange has been a sight to behold this spring. His numbers speak for themselves -- he’s recorded a 0.66 ERA with 13 strikeouts and only six hits allowed over 13 2/3 innings. What’s more important, though, is how the 6-foot-7 righty has looked on the mound: utterly dominant with

An unlikely source calls McLean 'the best arm I saw last year'

March 18, 2026

It’s no surprise that Nolan McLean has Mets fans buzzing about his potential. But the hype train for New York’s pitching phenom has an unexpected passenger: Bryce Harper. The Phillies slugger admittedly isn’t one to gush about pitchers, much less pitchers who play for the rival Mets. But he found

He had a .532 OPS as a rookie. But this Team Italy masher looks ready to break out

March 16, 2026

A .532 OPS in your rookie season tends to lower expectations, even for one of baseball’s top prospects. But Jac Caglianone has reset them in a hurry this spring. Blasting three balls over 115 mph -- including one at 120.2 mph -- in less than a week will do that.
