Coby Mayo's 7th-inning single had an exit velocity of... 116.5 mph, per Statcast. It's the highest exit velo on a batted ball by the 24-year-old in his 140-game MLB career. (Orioles couldn't capitalize as they left runners on 2nd and 3rd when Gunnar Henderson struck out.)show more

Coby Mayo just crushed his first home run of... the season, a 439-foot blast that popped off his bat at a 114.2 mph exit velocity. Both(!) are career highs. In other words, he's never gotten ahold of a ball quite like this one at the MLB level. 🎥: Baltimore Oriolesshow more

It's a two-hour drive from Scranton to Citizens Bank... Park if the Yankees call up George Lombard Jr. on the off day today. There's no better time than now because he's on a heater. One thing George Lombard Jr. figured out this year is the ability to crush baseballs. At Triple-A, he has an average exit velocity of 92.7 MPH (93rd percentile) and a 49.6% hard hit rate (87th percentile). It’s up from where he was two years ago in Single-A. He had an 88.6 MPH average exit velo and a 35.9% hard-hit rate in 2024.show more

When the #Patriots had joint practices in Minnesota, they... practiced "back on track" plays to get out of 2nd-&-long and into manageable 3rd downs. Perfect execution after a false start puts them in 2nd-and-15: Diggs over the ball for eight, Henderson on pick-wheel on 3rd-and-4.show more

Nick Dumesnil (California Baptist Baseball) has as much upside... as anyone in the 2025 draft. With question marks early on about how he'd fare against the top arms in the country on the Cape, "Doomey" proved quickly as one of the best players in the summer league circuit. His hands start high with the bat coiled behind his head. While a somewhat unorthodox approach, he's able to get his bat head up and hands lowered upon loading. It's an explosive operation with elite bat speed, averaging as much as 79.9 mph in the CCBL (per @Blast_Bsbl). It's a consistent swing making hard contact and driving the ball to both gaps (led the CCBL with 12 2B). The quick hip hinge allows for a powerful on-time rotation through the ball as he barrels the ball at a high clip (up to 30.4% this summer per Joe Doyle). Then there's the speed. Doomey set the Brewster Whitecap SB record with 26 (27 ATT) in 36 G. His 96.2% success rate is the highest in league history for someone with 20+ steals in a season (per League Statistician). He gets good jumps on the base paths and good reads off the bat defensively. There is some swing and miss to his game. He walks at an average rate (8.6 BB% in the CCBL) and struck out just 12.9% of the time in the WAC but that went up to 21.7% this summer. There's some chase low out of the zone vs break and did way more damage vs LHP (.435/.469/.783; .348 ISO) than RHP (.247/.333/.337; .090 ISO). A true five-tool talent, Nick Dumesnil made a name for himself this summer on the Cape, and will soon be at the top of many teams' draft boards next July.show more

You all remember this case where Manav Patel and... Harsh Makwana were killed by an overspeeding car on Vakola Flyover in Mumbai last week? Check what board was in the car's dashboard driven by 23-year-old accused Siddhesh Rupesh Belkar. As per the video from the accident night, it is alleged that accused had 'Police' board on the car's dashboard. Family and friends of the victims have taken out protests and demanded strict action against the accused. Police had said that Siddhesh was driving at a high speed on WEH when his Baleno jumped over the divider and crashed into the bike Manav and Harsh were riding.show more

I just noticed that Andy Pages has a new... "best catch of the year" according to catch probability, and it's a great example of how watching the advanced stats can tell you things you won't get from watching on TV. This was the last play of the game last Wednesday. Bogaerts hit the ball 102.3 MPH at a 15° launch angle, and Pages covered 45 feet in 2.9 seconds and did it so efficiently he didn't even have to leave his feet. Statcast has it at just a 5% catch probability.show more

ALERT: 17-year-old will be held without bail and charged... as an adult after shooting a 13-year-old in a mall. Diego Rafael Turcios Avalos was at the Westfield Wheaton Mall in Maryland when a group of teenagers walked by, and he opened fire. Avalos hit a 13-year-old in the leg, and he had to be transported to the hospital. Police found Avalos lying on the ground in front of a Dick’s Sporting Goods store inside the mall after a security guard had apprehended him. Prosecutors revealed that the gun found on Avalos had jammed and argued that he would have fired additional shots if not for the malfunction. While Avalos was granted a transfer to a juvenile detention center without bond until his preliminary hearing, he turns 18 in November and will be tried as an adult.show more

Will Ray (Wake Forest Baseball) was one of the... most dominant relievers on the Cape this summer. The former two-way showcased a high 80s - low 90s sinker from a sidearm slot with plenty of run and a sweeping slider that limited hitters to an average of 68.2 mph EV and a 0.59 xFIP (per Anthony Marotta as of 7/19). It's a plus pitch that was used more than the sinker and acts as his best offering. He also mixed in a splitter with some sink to get miss in and out of the zone. He appeared in 14 games for the Whitecaps on the Cape, limiting hard contact and base-runners with a 1.18 WHIP, 23 K/2 BB in 22 IP. Ray's stuff played well in the lower half of the zone but was susceptible to the long ball at times. Perhaps adding a four-seam FB that could get some chase at the top of the zone could help his overall profile. As of 7/23, Ray was 100th percentile in hard-hit % and 93rd percentile in opponent average exit speed (per Anthony Marotta). Ray made significant progress in his control and as a result, dropped his 4.9 BB/9 in 44 IP last spring to just 0.8 BB/9 in 22 IP this summer in the CCBL. He was able to make some of the top offensive college bats look foolish (Kurland - sinker, Burress - slider, Martinez - splitter; shown below).show more

Mike Krukow on Jung Hoo Lee’s catch against the... Dodgers last night: “That first inning was starting to get away from Adrian Houser. When Will Smith comes up in the first inning and hits this ball, I’m thinking 'This is not good' because if it gets over the head of Jung Hoo Lee, that’s 3 runs. They’re all gonna score in our opinion. JHL makes this great play. He backs up against the wall, comes up and gets the ball so quickly back into the infield that the runners at first and second can’t advance. That inning could have completely blown up. Houser got some confidence in that. He gets out of the inning and goes in the next inning and strikes out the side. It was huge to not only calm that inning, but to give Houser some confidence. As it turns out, Houser pitches into the 6th inning and he gets his first win ever against the Dodgers.” Game changing catch for sure via: KNBR | Brian Murphyshow more

🚨SCORING RULES ALERT🚨 This is from today's Detroit Tigers... at New York Mets game. Here, with Workman on second, Zach McKinstry hits a fly to left that lands, and Workman is thrown out 7-5 at third base. This was ruled a single, and the question has been asked as to why. First, this is the correct scoring, as this is a single. If this were a ground ball to short, and the runner is out 6-5 at third on a ball that would have otherwise been a hit, this would have been a fielder's choice, and the difference is in the wording on rule 9.05(b)(3), which says that you do not score a hit when a: (3) pitcher, the catcher or any infielder handles a batted ball and puts out a preceding runner who is attempting to advance one base or to return to his original base, or would have put out such runner with ordinary effort except for a fielding error. The Official Scorer shall charge the batter with a time at bat but no hit; The key is in the McKinstry play, the ball is handled by an outfielder, and not the pitcher, catcher, or any infielder. Another one of those fun weird scoring rules that is great to have in your back pocket for when it comes up.show more

This is NOT a drop... Y'all did the same... bullshit to Rome and trashed on him because you were spoiled by his historic rookie season catching 72% of his Contested Catches. When a defender knocks it out like this, it's an unsuccessful contested catch. Colston is 7/13 on CTC this year. While it could be better, it's very respectable and right in the middle of the pack for TE's this year. Know the difference between a CTC and a DROPshow more

Following a CT scan, Mohammed Fahir, the 19-year-old man... who was kicked in the head and stomped on by police at Manchester airport in England, reportedly has a cyst on his brain, according to his lawyer. When questioned about the potential connection between the brain injury and the incident, his lawyer stated that: “That is something a medical professional would have to answer but as far as I know I’ve spoken to the consultant and they’re saying it could be related to the injuries at the airport.” The officer, who was seen stomping on the head of the 19-year-old has been suspended by Greater Manchester Police pending an investigation.show more

I felt sad seeing the 90 year old Duke... of Kent being ill-treated, excluded & humiliated like this. This is an old man who is literally working to his death on behalf of a family that doesn’t care a single jolt about him. Watch how they all stand on one side leaving him out there by himself. He tries to interact with them and they completely ignore him as if he doesn’t exist. This is elder abuse and shows the cold institution that is the royal family.show more

Situations❗️Runners at 1st and 2nd, hitter shows bunt and... runner at 2nd steals 3rd. I am sure this was just a miscue but it’s a great lesson to show for this type of situation. If a hitter shows bunt and 3rd baseman breaks in, SS should be getting the bag. I always hated this scenario as a SS because you can’t shade too far up the middle incase a runner steals 3rd like this scenario but you also can’t be shaded too far towards 3rd incase a ball is hit on the ground to the right and you have to cover 2nd. If a 3rd baseman breaks in for the bunt but tries to get back to cover the bag on the steal, 9 times out of 10 they will be late getting there. Now, 3rd baseman can decide to stay back and cover the bag which is totally fine. It would just need to be communicated to the SS and catcher/pitcher before the pitch because SS can shade a little more up the middle and pitcher/catcher/1st would have to cover the bunt if it’s laid down. Every coach will have their preference depending on the game situation at hand.show more
