We just ended the last full week of April. The first month of the season has been outstanding and we’re seeing established stars continue their rise, but new ones are starting to emerge. Here are the best hitters of this past week
Happy 2021 NFL Draft Day! Lots of afternoon baseball to check out before the NFL takes center stage. We split our picks last time, let’s see if we can sweep the board today. Here are my Diamond Picks for Thursday, April 29.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is as dangerous of a hitter as there is in baseball right now — just ask Max Scherzer.
In their wins against Jacob deGrom and Corbin Burnes, the Marlins allowed a combined zero runs. Who was their starting pitcher in those two games? It was Trevor Rogers. For those who were previously unaware of Rogers, it may be time that to start paying attention to this 23-year-old.
So far this season, JT Brubaker has been one of baseball’s best pitchers. The Ohio native has only made four starts but is emerging as the Pirates ace. Although the season is less than a month old, the Pirates righty is off to a start he will never forget.
We’re almost a month into the baseball season, so it’s time for another batch of MLB power rankings. Which teams have surged and dropped the most over the last two weeks?
Chaim Bloom was busy in the offseason improving Boston’s pitching depth. One free agent he brought in was Hirokazu Sawamura. So far, in 2021, he has been one of Boston’s most reliable arms.
Tyler Glasnow’s fifth start, coming against the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday, would be his worst of the season. And there would be no shortage of shenanigans.
The Seattle Mariners currently sit in second place in the AL West, trailing white-hot the Oakland Athletics by one game with a 12-8 record. This is a team that went 27-33 last year and infamously has not made the playoffs since 2001.
The Twins entered the season with the hopes of taking their third consecutive American League Central title. Things haven’t gone as planned so far as they sit in fourth place at 7-11. Let’s take a look at what’s gone right and what’s gone wrong.
Rivalries in baseball are as old as the first edition of the automobile — and in a lot of ways, they define the national pastime. In 2021, a pair of National League West foes are taking center stage, so much so that the perceived “East Coast bias” in American sports may be on hiatus for at least 12 months.
In 2020, the Boston Red Sox pitching was their biggest weakness. The team finished the season with a 5.58 earned run average, which was the second-worst among American League teams. One player brought in to bolster their depth was Matt Andriese.
