History in Detroit tonight: Kevin McGonigle has reached base multiple times on 53 occasions before the All-Star Game. That is a new @MLB record, surpassing the mark set by Aaron Judge in 2017. @MLBNetwork

Welp. Never mind. Lol. But the talent is still at that level and I'd take a chance on him

Why is everybody overthinking this? He's a 6'9 lefty that throws 101 in high school with a nasty arm slot. Has a good changeup and seems to actually know what he's doing on the mound too. He's in the Lackey/Emerson/Roch tier this draft

@RobertStock6 Hitting is hard and even the best hitters in the world constantly get themselves out

Big leaguers don't swing at a quarter of all four-seam fastballs thrown right down the middle. The best hitters on the planet, facing their peers, leave the bat on their shoulder vs the most hittable pitch in baseball 25% of the time. Internalize this fact as you will.

In like 2029 Ceddanne will have his career year and get his 30/30 and he’ll probably post like an 11 WAR with that defense

@RainierDays_ It's because the rotation/starter depth there is that good. Someone has a down year and it doesn't matter because someone else has a breakout year. Kade Anderson would probably be up by now, but they don't even have room for him.

its so fucking funny that this team’s ace changes every year for no apparent reason

That's playing for 7 seasons and even then that's if you play every game. With injuries, how guys don't reach rookie status right away, etc, you're looking at close to a 10 year major league career. I'm honestly surprised it's that high.

@Michael_Cerami If only Ohtani didn't exist... he'd be on pace to rack up some hardware

Pete Crow-Armstrong up to the minute: .278/.363/.506 (142 wRC+) 9.7 BB% 26.5 K% 17 HRs 19 SBs 4.7 WAR

@JeremyBranham Leading in both OBP and SLG. No one is close to him right now.

Weekly Savant check and Yordan Alvarez is still the best hitter on the planet.

@xOneTrackMind @BaseballAmerica It's all great. But footwork can be taught. You either have hands like that or you don't for the most part. That's what makes plays

@ScoutNScrape @BaseballAmerica its not the hands mi amigo, its his footwork.

Aiden Ruiz, SS | 70-grade defense ⤵️ BA's No. 32 draft prospect was showing off the leather early in the MLB Draft Combine. Ruiz is a Vanderbilt commit who is BA's best defensive shortstop in the 2026 high school class.

@brendan_cubs There needs to be a way for exit velocities to be adjusted on choppers. That ball at the 10 second mark was hit as weak as any ball here, but had one of the highest exit velos in this video.

One reason the Cubs traded for David Peterson is his grounder rate (>50%). This season, Peterson allowed 33 base hits on grounders. The Mets ranks among the worst defensively. The Cubs are decorated in gold. Here's video of all 33 base hits he gave up on the ground as a Met.

I'm going to drop a list of my top draft prospects at some point before the draft but Vahn Lackey is my clear #1
