Johnny Bench climbing the fence. Bench played 111 games in the outfield in his career, having a .949 field percentage.

Detroit ace Tarik Skubal will undergo surgery to remove loose bodies in his left elbow. Such procedures typically sideline players for 2-3 months. Skubal should return before season's end, but a tough blow for the impending free agent and two-time reigning AL Cy Young winner.

Babe Ruth and Rogers Hornsby, 1922. The two had the most home runs during the 1920s.

Probably one of the best patches ever seen on a jersey.

Couldn't describe Randy Johnson more than that

EPIDEMIC EXPLAINED

Why can't modern baseball pitchers stay healthy?

I don't think people understand how DIFFERENTLY -- WORSE -- modern pitchers move.

The difference is HUGE and OBVIOUS.

The sweeper isn't a new pitch.

Pitchers have been throwing it for a long time.

But here's how it differs metrically from other breaking balls.

Elly De La Cruz are you kidding me?! 🤯

[Baseball @mlbelites_]

Elly De La Cruz made one of the toughest plays you will ever see. The level of difficulty on this play is ridiculous.

I don’t know how he got the out at first base.

Hiromitsu Ochiai warns a cameraman who won't back off. With exceptional bat control he delivers justice to a 10-million-yen camera.

Sports Illustrated was a proper magazine

[Master Flip 🇩🇴 @Masterflip_]

Juan Soto on 3-0 to the catcher: “Swing or take? I’ll do whatever you say, should I take?” Takes the pitch.

Next pitch: ‘“You see? I do whatever you want, man. What do you want now, take?” Takes on 3-1.

Generational talent 😂 #lgm

• Team Australia: WBC, Premier12
• One of the brightest young stars in international baseball

[Jim Allen @JballAllen]

The batter is hall of famer Hiromitsu Ochiai and perfectly encapsulates his prickly relationship with the media. Oh was a master of self control—except for 2002, when a question of mine saw him storm off the field steaming.
