How Goldschmidt has gotten even better in '22
When you've been in the Major Leagues as long as Paul Goldschmidt, you hit your way through a lot of trends in the game. And when you're as good a hitter as Paul Goldschmidt, you adjust to those trends and keep raking. This time, the trend is one of the...

Breaking down Josh Bell's strong start to 2022
In his second season in D.C., Josh Bell has gotten off to a strong start, and it’s tough not to think back to his 2019 All-Star season, when he hit .302 in the first half. After a big first half that also included 27 home runs that year, Bell went...

Stanton does this better than anyone, by a lot
The ball Giancarlo Stanton crushed at 114 mph in the top of the first inning on Thursday afternoon in Baltimore was unusual, at least in one respect. Per Statcast’s calculations, the lined shot to left field would have been a home run in 29 of the 30 Major League ballparks....

Max Muncy's strange start is ... Bondsian?
Some strange, lopsided batting lines appear in the early going every season. This season is no exception, but even in that context, Max Muncy's is a doozy. Just take a look at what the Dodgers infielder was slashing through his first 33 games of 2022: .163/.341/.298. That’s obviously not good,...

Is it a glitch? Reliever's sideways spin throws hitters for loop

Not just the best fastball, this is the best pitch in MLB
The best pitch in baseball can be found in San Francisco, just south of the Bay Bridge, making batters wish they’d never bothered to get on the plane. The best pitch in baseball is a fastball, notable in itself since we’re in Year 15 of the pitch tracking era, and...

His name sounds nasty. His pitches ARE nasty
When you picture a prototypical Major League pitcher, someone like Nestor Cortes is the last person you'd think of. But he's become baseball's most unlikely ace. The Yankees' 5-foot-11 left-hander has gone from a journeyman who the Yankees let go to another team twice to the American League ERA leader....

This is MLB's most unhittable pitch
Ask someone to name the most unhittable pitch in baseball and you're likely to get a variety of answers. Of course, unhittable is usually figurative. Even the nastiest offerings yield hits from time to time. But so far this season, one pitcher has a pitch that is staking a literal...
