Interested to see how ABS evolves because it is just using the batter's height and not their stance. This represents a significant difference for some batters. This video is from the same inning of a game last year. Soto is 2 inches taller than Bichette.

The top of the strike zone is at the midpoint between the top of the shoulders and the top of the uniform pants. The bottom of the zone is at the hollow beneath the kneecap. It's determined from the batter's stance as they are prepared to swing. But the ABS is just doing this.

Postseason wins since MLB went to 30 teams in 1998: 113 NYY 77 HOU 73 LAD 69 STL 68 BOS 50 SFG 49 ATL 47 PHI 35 CLE NYM 33 TEX 29 DET 28 TBR ARI 25 KCR CHC 21 LAA 20 SDP 19 WSN 18 OAK 14 CHW MIL 13 MIA 11 SEA 10 TOR 9 MIN COL 6 BAL 3 PIT 2 CIN

Odds, Winning the NL West in 2025 (FanDuel) Who's the best bet here?

Only 4 times has a player had 50+ extra-base hits, 50+ stolen bases, and 100+ walks in one MLB season: Joe Morgan, 1973 Joe Morgan, 1974 Joe Morgan, 1975 Joe Morgan, 1976 And with 1 more extra-base hit and 1 more stolen base in 1977, he would have done it 5 times in a row.

Ty France only played 561 games for the Seattle Mariners but it was long enough for him to set the franchise HBP record.

THANK YOU BASEBALL GODS THE ABS CHALLENGE SYSTEM IS FINALLY BEING TESTED IN MLB GAMES

There were 30 qualified pitchers (162+ innings pitched) in the American League last year and none of them struck out more batters per inning than Cole Ragans did.

Tell me who will win the AL Central in 2025.

There are over 120,000 recorded times on Strava by over 16,000 bikers for this ~¼ mile stretch and only 4 have done it in 31 seconds. One of those four people is Barry Bonds. 😮

If you could travel back in time to relive any one baseball season, which year would you choose?

Most Career MLB Walks Before 27th Birthday (Juan Soto turns 27 after the 2025 regular season ends): Mickey Mantle, 797 Juan Soto, 769 😮 Eddie Yost, 743 Mel Ott, 708 Bryce Harper, 684 Mike Trout, 670

Ty France only played 561 games for the Seattle Mariners but it was long enough for him to set the franchise HBP record.

Tarik Skubal struck out 228 batters last year while allowing only 51 earned runs - the best ratio by a Detroit Tigers starter in all of history.

Only 4 times has a player had 50+ extra-base hits, 50+ stolen bases, and 100+ walks in one MLB season: Joe Morgan, 1973 Joe Morgan, 1974 Joe Morgan, 1975 Joe Morgan, 1976 And with 1 more extra-base hit and 1 more stolen base in 1977, he would have done it 5 times in a row.

Don't be surprised when you see some players become even more productive with the addition of an automated ball-strike challenge system. I think Steven Kwan will be one of them.

hang joey votto's home run spray chart in the louvre

an automated ball-strike challenge system will be in the big leagues soon and then we won't be seeing any more of this

tell me the best "over" bet here

top 2 guys in MLB last year in homers and steals 😮

Some unknown Hall of Fame voter left Ichiro Suzuki off of their ballot and maybe they should lose their future right to vote.

Kevin Youkilis in MLB games: 4,444 plate appearances 0 swings at 3-0 pitches

6 MLB pitchers pitched in at least 74 games during the regular season last year and had an ERA under 2.00. 4 of them were Cleveland Guardians. It was totally insane.

MLB pitches slower than 45 MPH (not counting intentional balls): 2008 - 0 2009 - 0 2010 - 0 2011 - 0 2012 - 0 2013 - 0 2014 - 0 2015 - 0 2016 - 0 2017 - 0 2018 - 0 2019 - 0 2020 - 6 2021 - 64 2022 - 182 2023 - 198 2024 - 175

The 2025 luxury tax for the Los Angeles Dodgers is currently over $142 million. 😬

Good pitches are hard to hit. Great pitches are also hard to catch.

Most wins since 1968 in games they walked 7+ hitters: Nolan Ryan, 33 😮 J.R. Richard, 9 Sam McDowell, 7

There were only 60 pitches thrown in the big leagues last season at 100+ MPH with 20"+ IVB. 😮

The last big leaguer at 5'6" or shorter to play more than 90 games in left field in one season was Nemo Leibold of the 1918 Chicago White Sox.

It's true that last year the only big leaguers to hit more home runs and drive in more runs than Brent Rooker were Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani.

Other than the Dodgers, which other teams can you confidently say have a better starting rotation than the Phillies?

$765,000,000!

Of the 174 grand slams with swing length info on Statcast, only 1 has had a swing length under 6 feet. This Brice Turang oppo taco? 5.2 feet! 😮

Blake Snell has struck out 1,368 batters. Blake Snell has hit only 11 batters with pitches.

an embarrassment of riches

Clayton Kershaw's 2025 Dodgers contract: 💰 $7.5M guaranteed 💰 $1M - 13th start 💰 $1M - 14th start 💰 $1M - 15th start 💰 $1M - 16th start 💰 $2.5M - 30th day on active roster 💰 $1M - 60th day 💰 $1M - 90th day ================ 16 starts and 90 days = $16M

smh at hearing yet another person say the athletics will finish in last again this year when they didn't last year
