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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

An all-time pitching performance by Jacob Misiorowski. He threw a one-hit Maddux and punched 15. The most in a >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.

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.

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.

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.

Don't step on the foul line. Don't ever talk about a no-hitter. Eat chicken every day. Break up a slump with a golden thong. Wear a rally cap. Brush your teeth between innings. Sports is full of superstitions -- and none more so than baseball. So we talked with the king of 'em.

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.

Paul Skenes threw eight scoreless innings of two-hit ball against Arizona tonight. He finished the eighth with 97 pitches. Pirates manager Don Kelly went to Gregory Soto, who locked down the 1-0 win. Still, Skenes would really like a nine-inning complete game one of these days.

Jo Adell robbed three home runs in a game earlier this season, and after ending up in the stands on the last one, surrounded by fans patting him on the back and taking incredible photos of the scene, he said it felt like an out-of-body experience.

"One dry hump is OK. Two dry humps does not feel very good. I have been dry humped three times once. I felt like I couldn't move my arm for about eight hours." Pete Fairbanks on what it's like to for relief pitchers to get dry humped.
