Hello,

My former account @HighLevBaseball was unfortunately hacked in May, and after extensive recovery attempts, we could not recover it

However, I'm thrilled to announce that I will return making content on this account!

Can't wait to re-connect with you all 🫶

@__super_saiyan Yeah, that’s the case for most pitchers

[High Leverage Baseball @HighLeverageBB]

Jacob Misiorowski's fastball velocity by month:

April - 99.1 mph

May - 100.7 mph 📈

June - 101.5 mph 📈

July - 101.9 mph ⛰️

August - 100.3 mph 📉

His second half ERA is over a run higher than his first half. Should Milwaukee give him extra rest for October?

[High Leverage Baseball @HighLeverageBB]

@imamretired There’s this award named after him that I think Jacob might get

[High Leverage Baseball @HighLeverageBB]

@BadgerBeliever I want him to take a full start off. Make 2 in 15 games instead of 3

[High Leverage Baseball @HighLeverageBB]

@AaronMcCann3219 I hope he does!

[High Leverage Baseball @HighLeverageBB]

@imamretired Cy Young?

[High Leverage Baseball @HighLeverageBB]

@__super_saiyan He’s already 20 IP over his career high. By the end of the Postseason, he’ll probably be about 50 IP over

Anthony Volpe drove in 5 RBIs yesterday for NYY

He had driven in just 6 RBIs in his previous 30 games

[High Leverage Baseball @HighLeverageBB]

@terroristpoles Would be a wild scenario

[High Leverage Baseball @HighLeverageBB]

D-Backs rest of season schedule:

- Rangers (72-74)
- Marlins (72-75)
- Yankees (83-62)
- @ Rockies (55-90)
- @ Padres (78-68)

Padres rest of season schedule:

- @ Giants (62-85)
- @ Rockies (55-90)
- Marlins (72-75)
- @ Dodgers (89-57)
- D-Backs (78-69)

Arizona opponents have a .494 winning percentage. San Diego opponents have a .486 winning percentage

[High Leverage Baseball @HighLeverageBB]

@pachec80 Honestly scary

[High Leverage Baseball @HighLeverageBB]

@SDCA_Equipment True!

@MLBdream Worth a watch

[High Leverage Baseball @HighLeverageBB]

Zac Gallen returns for the D-Backs today, a day after Corbin Burnes

If he's effective, Arizona could field a rotation of:

1. Eduardo Rodríguez
2. Brandon Pfaadt
3. Corbin Burnes
4. Zac Gallen
5. Merrill Kelly
6. Michael Soroka (back soon)

Plenty of promise in that group

@HexagonGuy221 😭

[High Leverage Baseball @HighLeverageBB]

@orixrd I was holding out for a while

[High Leverage Baseball @HighLeverageBB]

At Yankee Stadium, Cam Schlittler is posting a 4.20 ERA and allowing a .459 SLG against left-handed hitters

9 of the Rockies' 14 active hitters are left-handed or switch hitters

Colorado has logged the sixth-most LHH plate appearances in 2026

Rockies ML in play?

[High Leverage Baseball @HighLeverageBB]

Elly De La Cruz

- Launched a 444-foot blast against Tarik Skubal's changeup
- Scorched a 102.4 mph heater for an oppo double
- Threw out Teoscar Hernández at home with a 105.3 mph seed from shallow centerfield

I honestly don't think another human being is capable of all three

[High Leverage Baseball @HighLeverageBB]

@SeanSmith162 I’m actually a fan of this style. Was curious to get some outside perspective

[High Leverage Baseball @HighLeverageBB]

16 hitters have 30+ HR in 2026. Their average OPS is .871

Colson Montgomery has 30 HR, but is posting just a .729 OPS

He is on pace to finish two strikeouts shy of the single-season record

Should he still be considered a positive at the plate?

[High Leverage Baseball @HighLeverageBB]

@jakelarsen Yes I believe he’s in the same boat
