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.)

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?

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.

Rusty Staub gave so much to every organization, teammate, fanbase, and community he ever played for, and there are both baseball- and non-baseball-related reasons for why he belongs in Cooperstown. With Houston, Montreal, New York, and Detroit: • Over 500 hits with each club • Earned MVP votes with each club • Had a cannon arm in RF early in his career • Was a slugging DH in the middle of his career • Had a final act as one of the best pinch-hitters He also played with Texas for one season and had more walks than strikeouts with all five franchises he played for! Staub finished his career with 2716 hits, 499 doubles, 292 homers, 1466 RBI, a 124 OPS+, and 4185 total bases, some huge numbers in the grand scheme of things. Staub is the only player with at least 2700 hits, 1400 RBI, a .360 OBP, and fewer than 900 strikeouts to NOT be in the Hall of Fame. Only 14 other players meet those criteria and they ALL have plaques in Cooperstown. But listen, those are just the "baseball" reasons why Staub was awesome. He was a great ballplayer, but a better person: • With Montreal, he learned French specifically so he would be better able to communicate with media, fans, and staff. He became so endeared to everyone as "Le Grand Orange" that he became the first Expos player to have his number retired (#10, retired May 15, 1993). • In New York, Staub opened two famous restaurants, "Rusty's" on the Upper East Side and "Rusty Staub's on Fifth" in Midtown, where the slugger could often be found in person either greeting guests or even working in the kitchen. He was a deeply hands-on restauranteur who loved cooking, wine, hospitality, and building community. • During his second stint with the Mets, in addition to his roles as elder statesman and pinch-hitter extraordinaire, Staub promised Frank Cashen he would keep a Ron Darling out of trouble and make sure he was ready to pitch every fifth day after the GM expressed concern about the young pitcher living in NYC. • Most importantly, in 1985 Staub founded The New York Police and Fire Widows’ and Children’s Benefit Fund, which raised over $140 million for the families of fallen FDNY, NYPD, and PAPD heroes killed in the line of duty by the time of Rusty's passing in 2018. Rusty Staub is one of those guys that could go into the Hall of Fame with a blank cap because he was a true cornerstone everywhere he went, on and off the field.

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

In 2002, home run king Barry Bonds hit an absolute nuke off Troy Percival that nearly slipped the surly bonds of earth to touch the face of Tim Salmon, prompting the Angels slugger to say "that's the furthest ball I've ever seen hit." Power vs. power.
