In the Pros

Shota Imanaga is red hot!! In his first 3 starts of his career he has yet to give up an earned run. He is one of only two qualified pitchers so far with a zero E.R.A.

Jackson Holliday debuts: The #1 top prospect in baseball debuted this week and immediately started 0 for 13. But that all changed on Sunday when the 20 year old notched his first hit in the seven inning with a ground ball through the right side. 

Andrew Mccutchen hits 300th homer! The Pirates legend hit the milestone this Sunday blasting a hanging slider to left field in Philadelphia. 

Altuve hit two homers on Sunday in his first two at bats of the day against the Rangers. Altuve is scorching at the plate right now with a 1.183 OPS on the season.  

Tyler O’neill keeps mashing! O’neill now leads baseball with 7 homers. The new Red Sox hit only 9 bombs in 72 games last year. Can he surpass his career best of 34 from 2021? 

Something We Loved ❤

Here’s some content we enjoyed.

Shota Imanaga is DOMINATING in MLB! (0 ER in first 3 starts!)

Jackson Holliday gets his first Major League hit! 👏

Crazy fact of the Week

Through 15 games Mike Trout is whiffing at half the pitches he has in recent years. With a 93rd percentile his 14% whiff rate would be the lowest mark of his career. Trout is also 3rd in the MLB with 6 homers. It’s clear Mike Trout is out to prove he’s still the best in the game.
