Drop whatever you’re doing, folks Top prospect Jesus Made clobbers a homer that looks like it shouldn’t be possible… over the fence, over the trees, into the parking lot. (You can tell right off the bat that it’s going far, but I still gasped audibly.)

This throw to second by the catcher is literally such a laser beam that it doesn’t look real It looks like a video game throw

Drop whatever you’re doing, folks We all know that Robinson Cano has one of the greatest swings of his era, but check out the absolute stillness of his head, even in slow motion; he’s locked in on that baseball and then his hands explode right through it

Drop whatever you’re doing, folks Get a load of Windbreaker Lou Gehrig taking some absolutely vicious daddy hacks during spring training in the 1930s Arguably the greatest first baseman of all time, Gehrig was a legend for his durability and massive production hitting behind Babe Ruth He was a quiet winner, an understated foil to Ruth’s unapologetic celebrity, and likely one of the strongest men to ever play the game (as if the crack of the bat in this wonderfully colorized film clip, vivid as if it were taken yesterday, left any doubt in your mind)

Great example of old vs. new values By the eye test, this is a marvelous catch, the kind fans are glad they paid money to see By analytics, this had an 85% catch probability per The WARmonger & only looked hard because of a bad jump Is it good or bad?

Listen, say what you want about him, but this is a good piece of hitting. Facing a lefty with a weird delivery, Arraez stays with it and drives the ball through the 5-6 hole for a game-tying base hit. The Padres would go on to win. We Stan This Man

New Giants manager Tony Vitello, who had no professional baseball experience prior to 2026, told his bullpen he wanted a new pitcher, but didn’t specify which one, leading to absolute chaos and confusion. The Giants are 16-24.

The biggest factor in Luis Arraez becoming one of the league's premier second basemen is his work with the GREAT Ron Washington. Every team but the Giants had already written him off as only a 1B or DH, but San Francisco allowed Arraez to move back to 2B.

Here’s another ludicrous clip of Jose Canseco hitting a baseball so hard you’d swear it couldn’t possibly be round anymore The strength, the quickness, the abject violence… I’m pretty sure nobody swung the bat as hard as he did & it’s just nuts to watch

You’ve all seen Andres Galarraga take Kevin Brown 800 feet out of Pro Player Stadium, but have you seen Andres Galarraga hit the giant Coca-Cola bottle in left field at Oracle Park? I think he’s the only one ever to reach it, and he was 40 when he did it.

In December of 1995, the Yankees acquired Tino Martinez from Seattle and made him the successor to Don Mattingly, one of the most beloved figures in franchise history. You know the rest: Tino led the Torre dynasty in home runs and won 4 rings in 5 years.

John Sterling wasn’t just an unabashed Yankees homer — he was genuinely a baseball fan. Baseball was his passion! Here he is calling the end of the 2003 World Series and talking about how much the Marlins deserved their win.

Another iconic call by John Sterling, this one of the clutch 1996 World Series home run by Jim Leyritz at Atlanta. Mark Wohlers had a 100-mph fastball, but he didn’t throw it. (He should have.)

Andres Galarraga may have hit some of the longest home runs in MLB history, but perhaps the *biggest* homer of his career was this blast at Turner Field in his first game back after missing the entire 1999 season battling cancer. Folk hero-level stuff!
