Shohei Ohtani has left his start in the middle of an at-bat after throwing six consecutive balls, two of which were yanked fastballs that were wild pitches.

I love baseball for countless reasons but a well-executed swim-move slide is near the top of the list and this one from Juan Soto is absolute perfection.

OK, this was amazing.

Corbin Burnes just left his start for Arizona after an apparent arm injury. His cutter velocity had dipped two to three ticks before that.

What does a perfect pitch look like? This.

The Dodgers' local-TV deal is a profound competitive advantage. Because of a bankruptcy-court ruling, the team will shield more than $1.3 billion from rev sharing over 25 years. What you might not know: They further monetized it through debt deals with Mark Walter-owned insurers.

John Paciorek debuted as an 18-year-old for the Houston Colt .45s in 1963. He went 3 for 3 with four runs, three RBIs and two walks. He never played in MLB again. It was the greatest one-game career in MLB history, and it happened in September, a month that breeds great stories.

Joey Votto's explanation of how difficult it is to pull the ball in the air is exceptional. Fly balls and line drives to the pull side have a .584 batting average and 1.313 OPS this year, so more and more players are being encouraged and taught to do it. But it's not easy.

🚨Coming tomorrow🚨 We thought we'd heard the last new words from Ted Williams, that we'd never have more to learn from the Greatest Hitter Who Ever Lived. We were wrong.

The Seattle Mariners were a chic World Series pick this year. Three-quarters of the way through the season, they are arguably the most disappointing team in baseball. What happened?

We did an All-Star episode and Paul Skenes had some thoughts on great Americans.

CJ Abrams is the hottest hitter on the planet. Post-All-Star break, Abrams leads MLB in OPS (1.632), HR (7) and RBIs (15). He has more homers by himself in the second half than the Blue Jays, Orioles, Mariners, Twins, White Sox, Cardinals and Angels.

From the latest episode of Sources Tell Jeff Passan: Where things stand with the Tigers and Tarik Skubal.

This is what it looks like when a guy throws 66 fastballs and every single one of them is in triple digits. The average: 102.8 mph.

Does AI know ball?

I’ve been watching a lot of the Juco World Series this week on ESPN+, and it’s the purest form of baseball I’ve seen in ages. No K zone. No radar gun. Dodgy field. Just guys chasing dreams and a ring. I couldn't love it more. Especially considering this is who’s pitching tonight.

An all-time pitching performance by Jacob Misiorowski. He threw a one-hit Maddux and punched 15. The most in a &gt;99-pitch shutout before was Tarik Skubal's 13. This is Miz finding out in real time what he can be. The velocity is mind-bending. All of it is.

MLB's max-contract proposal would affect Junior Caminero as much as any player. So I asked him about it, and we got into a discussion about labor, the place of Latin American players in it, what salary caps do to players like LeBron James and why at 23 he wants to be involved.

Dave Roberts always wondered if part of the Blue Jays' calculus for intentionally walking Shohei Ohtani during the 18-inning Game 3 was to tire him out before his Game 4 start. So he asked John Schneider -- and the answer is an illuminating look into World Series strategy.

Junior Caminero told a catcher not to call a fastball again or he'd hit a home run. The catcher called a fastball. Caminero hit a home run. And then he flipped his bat more than 40 feet in the air. The full story behind the "I can't believe it" home run.

This is one of the most spectacular grand slams you’ll ever see. The swing, the reaction, everything. Vlad Jr. in the ALDS: 6 for 7. The entire Yankees team in the ALDS: 6 for 44.

This is all so familiar. The proposal of a salary cap. The feeling of impending doom. It's like 1994 all over again, and while this year's World Series won't be lost to a labor war, much of baseball's momentum will be if the game is treated the same way it was three decades ago.

Madonna wanted to know what Jose Canseco looked like outside of a uniform. So after batting practice one day, Canseco went for an impromptu photo shoot with Michael Zagaris and put together what would be known as his Beefcake Book -- an album of glamour shots to send to her.

AL All-Star leading vote-getter Ernie Clement is part of the Bills Mafia and went through a table at his tailgate, alongside a gnarled old Bills-themed RV called Precious. He also answered the vital question: When it's 8 a.m., should you drink a wedge or Labatt Blue Light?

“There’s no such thing as a perfect throw.” Cal Raleigh:
