Home runs and scoring are surging across the minor leagues at historic rates in 2026, and not even MLB seems to know why. The post Home Runs Are Exploding Across The Minor Leagues—And No One Knows Why appeared first on College Baseball, MLB Draft, Prospects - Baseball America .
The fourth game of the Tigers’ miserable series against the Guardians kicked off this afternoon and the best thing I can say about this series is that it’s almost over. The other positive was that Casey Mize was on the mound for the Tigers, up against Joey Cantillo for the Guardians. The Tigers learned a […]
Let’s be so honest – would you even believe the Atlanta Braves had the best record in baseball if you’d been told that both Sean Murphy and reigning NL Rookie of the Year Drake Baldwin were on the IL at the same time? For eight glorious days we had our elite catching tandem, arguably the […]
These Nats just continue to score runs in bunches. Last night, they put 8 on the board in a comfortable win over the Mets. Offensive performances like the one from last night just seem to be par for the course right now. Hopefully they can keep it up with a chance to get over .500 […]
The Tigers added another transfer to its 2026-27 roster, signing Jordan Crawford from South Dakota
Mets lineup 1. Carson Benge – RF2. Bo Bichette – SS3. Juan Soto – LF4. Mark Vientos – 1B5. Brett Baty – 3B6. Marcus Semien – 2B7. A.J. Ewing – CF8. MJ Melendez – DH9. Luis Torrens – C SP: David Peterson (LHP) Nationals lineup 1. James Wood – LF2. Curtis Mead – 3B3. Andrés […]
It was the type of start we’ve come to expect from Aaron Nola. First inning, we see vintage Nola. Pinpoint command. Two strikeouts. A 1-2-3 opener. The type of beginning that makes you remember why the Phillies signed the veteran right-hander to a seven-year, $172 million contract before the start of the 2024 season. Then, […]
The Cincinnati Reds opted to designate outfielder Rece Hinds for assignment earlier this week. The team had turned to him for some power production after outfielder Noelvi Marte had stumbled out of the gate to begin the 2026 season, yet Hinds couldn’t quite provide the kind of production Cincinnati desperately needed in the corners. Once […]

After completing a sweep of the Chicago Cubs in a rematch of the 2025 NLDS, the Milwaukee Brewers will look to repeat that performance in a rematch of the 2025 NLCS, as they’ll host the Los Angeles Dodgers for three games beginning Friday night. The Dodgers, who of course swept the Crew in last year’s […]
At the 2025 Trade Deadline, one of the Yankees’ primary acquisitions was for a defense-first third baseman. Ryan McMahon, who had spent the past nine seasons with the Colorado Rockies, was known as one of the game’s finest defenders at the hot corner, one that could hit enough to get by in the majors, culminating […]
With the conference tournament just mere hours away, many eyes and ears will be focused on Mesa, Ari. to see who will be the victor of the 2026 baseball season – including all of us here at Mountain West Connection. Despite many fans being willing to argue why their favorite program will hoist the trophy […]
The Washington Nationals made a somewhat surprising move in the bullpen. With Clayton Beeter coming back from the IL, the Nats decided to option PJ Poulin to Triple-A. On the surface, this move seems pretty odd. Poulin leads the Nats in appearances with 23 and has posted a solid 2.91 ERA. However, when you look […]
The offseason brings a lot of rankings, and with where the Arizona Cardinals are at in their process they are not going to be ranked too highly in most of these rankings. One that came out today was about the rankings of all the NFL general managers, and for the Arizona Cardinals and Monti Ossenfort […]
Some of the plans for the Dodgers’ bullpen went out the window in an unceremonious fashion quite early on, but the unit continues to function at a high level. Among other things, that’s down to the emergence of Kyle Hurt as one of the top setup men in the National League—a big statement for a […]
Back in 2022-2023, the pitching matchup in tonight’s Braves-Marlins series finale would’ve been heralded far and wide. Things are a little different these days, but that doesn’t mean that either team will have an easy path to a victory. The Braves can no longer lose this series after yesterday’s victory, but they can indeed still […]
The Cubs, as you know, have had multiple pitching injuries. That list got a bit longer Wednesday when Edward Cabrera left the game with a blister. Fortunately, that’s not usually a serious injury. Maybe he misses a start, maybe not. The Cubs are not alone in having many rotation starters injured. Look at the Blue […]
After throwing two simulated innings yesterday in a bullpen session, injured Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet has declared himself free of the shoulder inflammation that landed him on the IL. That’s great! What’s less great is that he also declared that his mechanics are out of whack. Crochet will take a few days off, throw […]
It may seem obvious that the Diamondbacks are better than the Rockies. Up front, my expectation is for the Diamondbacks to win this four-game series against the Rockies. Nevertheless, let’s compare the teams. Top-level comparisons follow. The 3-game Series at Coors. In the previous two seasons, these teams split their games at Coors, but the […]
The New York Yankees know what it’s like to hold some of the league’s best relievers in its bullpen. Names like Goose Gossage, Sparky Lyle, Dave Righetti, and Mariano Rivera are the talk of the town for the Bombers of old, while Dellin Betances resonate with those in the modern era. But another reliever of […]
After Wednesday night’s dumpster fire, the St. Louis Cardinals wrap up their homestand with a day game against the Pittsburgh Pirates as they try to win the series Thursday afternoon. Dustin May gets the start for the Cardinals while the Pirates will send Braxton Ashcraft to the mound. First pitch at Busch Stadium is set […]

It is nice to get a one-run win for a change. They are 5-10 in one run games. I expect that to level off some. There is a bunch of little bits of Jays news: I had thought the strike zone was pretty big last night, but I was wrong, Sorry Brock. Non-Jays, but wouldn’t […]
