THIS IS GAME 7 OF THE 1965 WORLD SERIES AND THESE WERE NOT CONSIDERED SWINGS 😮

Randy Johnson had 2,022 strikeouts in a span of 202 games and I swear it's true. No other pitcher in MLB history has struck out 800+ batters in any 80-game span.

How low did this catch probability get?

The Angels signed Anthony Rendon to a 7-year, $245 million contract in 2019 and this was what they got back.

Shota Imanaga has started 56 games for the Cubs and walked a total of only 56 batters.

Cal Raleigh swung at more pitches last year than any other big leaguer and hit 60 of them for home runs.

Juan Soto played 8 games in AA and none in AAA.

Stan Musial only struck out 3 times in a big league game once and he was 42 years old when it finally happened.

aaron judge's career home runs at yankee stadium

Elly De La Cruz had a span of 325 plate appearances this year during which he hit only 1 home run. It sounds crazy but I swear it's true.

The 2025 San Francisco Giants were 22-10 when Robbie Ray started.

ABS said this missed the zone by 4 nanometers. How can you not be romantic about baseball?

Let’s have a Disco Demolition Night and blow up a crate of disco records in between doubleheader games. What could go wrong?

Edwin Encarnación has received a Hall of Fame vote.

Kirby Yates has faced 1,883 batters during his time in the big leagues and not one of them has hit a triple.

imagine hitting 13 walk-off home runs

No MLB batter had 32 hits in any 16-game span of 2025. Ichiro Suzuki had 126 hits in a 63-game span of 2004.

perhaps the biggest jump in baseball history

Since 2021, no MLB pitcher has thrown more innings than Shohei Ohtani and had a lower ERA doing it. And during that time he has also hit 233 home runs (more than anyone except Aaron Judge). It's completely ridiculous.
