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

Drop whatever you're doing, folks More than 28 years after Jose Guillen cut down Neifi Perez at third, there's ANOTHER jaw-droppingly mutant throw out of RF in Denver, and this time it's Tyler Freeman hosing Sal Stewart on zero hops. WHAT. A. CHUCK. 🤯

I’ve never seen this Barry Bonds homer in Japan before… wow. Lefty-lefty, and he just destroys this ball, pimps the shit out of it, and makes you wonder why anyone would ever throw him a pitch over the plate.

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.

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.

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.

Happy birthday to Jose Canseco, owner of perhaps the quickest hands of all time. He had upper-deck pull-side power against even the hardest throwers of his day, and sometimes I wonder how his bat didn’t just snap in half mid-swing from the acceleration.
