In the second round of the 2021 MLB Draft, the Boston Red Sox added another highly-rated prospect. With the 40th overall pick, the Red Sox selected Jud Fabian. The Florida native was seen as a top-four pick before the college season began but saw his stock fall.
The All-Star Game isn’t exactly the halfway point in the season (most teams have played close to 90 games at this point) but it’s a logical stopping point to access which players are dominating. I did this exercise at the quarter-point in the season, it’s interesting to see how things have changed (or not) since then. As the season goes on, we’ll do this again at the three quarters through the year and then at the end of the season. A Rookie of the Year category has been added for this checkpoint and will be included in the two editions later in the season.
The Diamondbacks are nearly three dozen games out of the top spot in the NL East. This would be terrible if the season was over, but it is infinitely times more despicable considering we’re only at the unofficial halfway point. Now, for yet another season, Arizona is a clear seller ahead of the deadline.
The Babe Ruth comparisons continued as the Angels Shohei Ohtani arrived in Denver for the 2021 All-Star festivities. The two-way sensation is not Ruth. There will never be another Babe Ruth. However, in many ways, he may be something better. He’s ShowTime! Something needed in today’s often cynical sports world. Evident in his epic first-round derby battle with another young face of baseball.
On Sunday night, the Boston Red Sox added more talent to their farm system. With the fourth overall pick in the MLB Draft, the Red Sox selected shortstop Marcelo Mayer.
The Milwaukee Brewers sit atop the NL Central. While the pitching is great, the offense could use some upgrading.
After a one-year hiatus, the Home Run Derby is back to take center stage. But the return of the event on baseball’s calendar this season is bound to be special for other reasons as well.
Let’s break down what the Blue Jays must do at the upcoming trade deadline in order to succeed down the stretch this season.
With the 20th pick in the 2021 MLB Draft which kicked off with round one on Sunday night, the New York Yankees selected infielder Trey Sweeney. Sweeney is out of Eastern Illinois University and has a lot of things going for him that Yankees fans will like.
With the trade deadline coming up at the end of July, there are a few players the Atlanta Braves could bring in to help them in the second half.
Pitchers raking and batters pitching has been a weird theme this year. We expected Ohtani to hit well. Others? Not so much. For all the weirdness that has happened this season, this week may take the cake.
In 2019, the Chicago Cubs selected David Herz with the 252nd pick in the MLB draft. While the Fayetteville native was drafted in the eighth round, he has climbed up the Cubs prospect list.
