The pitch-usage wrinkle that helps make Tarik Skubal unique
Sitting in front of his locker at Yankee Stadium, Tarik Skubal wants to run a search on Baseball Savant.
One of the best pitchers in baseball, at least in this way, is just like us.
On the mound, Skubal does a lot of things that nobody else does. He has...

These are the nastiest pitches of the first half of the season
Every pitch matters.
That might be a simplistic analysis, but it's the basic premise of Statcast's Run Value system, which helped determine some of the top pitches of the first half of the 2026 season. Run values look at the run impact of an event based on the runners on...

This is the trickiest problem for Deadline buyers this year
Last winter, we raised a bit of an alarm, noting that the hardest player to find in the offseason was going to be a right-handed bat, specifically outfielders, as it had been decades since we’d had that few regular, righty outfielders with above-average bats. That mostly came to pass; almost...

The Marlins are MLB's hottest team. And it looks like they're for real
Somewhat lost in all of Sunday’s drama about the Marlins lifting Eury Pérez after seven perfect innings was that it wasn’t just about pitch count, health, modern analytics, or whatever narrative you choose to apply.

Shocker: The Red Sox have another good lefty starter
Jake Bennett has been just what the Red Sox needed.
The rookie left-hander has brought stability to a Boston rotation that has been without ace Garrett Crochet since late April and lost Connelly Early to the injured list on Wednesday. Scheduled to take the ball on Friday against the Angels...

Why Bryce Harper looks elite again
Bryce Harper is back to doing what he does best.
The two-time MVP sure looks elite these days, no matter how you slice it. Prefer traditional stats? Harper's .908 OPS is better than all but nine qualified hitters, entering play on Thursday. Want something that properly values extra-base hits? Harper...

The mystery behind Vlad Jr.'s career-worst slump
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. just finished off the weakest full month of his career (.498 OPS), which might be written off as a slump, if not for the fact that it followed the third-weakest month of his career (May’s .623 OPS), which might itself be a minor concern if not for...

How ace found his groove ... by calling his own pitches
Something obviously clicked for Logan Webb in June.
Not only did Webb lead the Majors with a 0.71 ERA last month, he went at least seven innings in all five of his starts. Workhorse Webb re-emerged for the Giants in full force.
What did the trick? Well, that's the fun...
