Roki Sasaki's stuff is as amazing as we thought
When the World Baseball Classic started, we knew what Roki Sasaki was already doing in Japan. We knew the 21-year-old might be one of the nastiest pitchers in the world. Now we have proof. Sasaki's phenomenal talent was on display in his WBC semifinal start against Mexico. And since he...

Is it possible we haven't seen apex Ohtani yet?
Based on the sheer magnitude of Shohei Ohtani's contributions these past two seasons, it’s really unfair to expect him to do more. But what if he could? Ohtani is an AL MVP Award winner, and he was named MVP of the 2023 World Baseball Classic, too, after helping Japan win...

Why Greene is the young ace to watch in '23
It's time to get excited about Hunter Greene … again. There should be as much hype for Greene's 2023 debut as there was surrounding his big league debut in 2022, when he came out ripping 100 mph fastballs against the reigning World Series champion Braves and then set a pitch-tracking...

Does this postseason star have an offensive breakout in store?
Given the way it ended, Astros shortstop Jeremy Peña’s rookie season can only be viewed as an enormous success. The 25-year-old had big shoes to fill after longtime Houston shortstop Carlos Correa departed as a free agent, but he held down the starting job all season and ultimately became the...

A new catching metric is here -- 9 ways it helps analysis
When we detailed how fantastic Orioles rookie Adley Rutschman was at blocking pitches in 2022, we promised we’d follow up with a little more about the new metric that says he’s great and share some other stories that we can tell with it. So let’s do exactly that....

Adley's other elite defensive skill
It’s a little too much to say that the lost years in Baltimore of 2017-21 ended the day that Adley Rutschman was called up to Majors last May, but since it’s a lot easier to see the immediate impact of a No. 1 overall Draft pick than it is to...
