What makes the AL Central so special thus far is a pair of rookies. These two are hitters who have received national attention despite being on almost no one’s radar at the start of the year.
Hitting has been contagious, and Cordero has helped spark the offense. If he can continue his success, he could become a permanent fixture in the outfield.
It is no secret that Gleyber Torres has struggled defensively at shortstop for the New York Yankees over the last couple of seasons. While fans might want to acquire one of the impending free agent stars, that idea wouldn’t quite work for the Yankees.
Following a stretch in which the Boston Red Sox tore apart their franchise outfield and lost several key contributors on offense, there was reasonable doubt regarding whether or not the lineup could truly produce at a reasonable clip. Now, through just seven games, a verdict has been reached.
It’ll be tough to top Joe Musgrove’s no-hitter last night, but we have a very intriguing set of games on tap this Saturday.
Hello and welcome to the very first edition of Saturday Stat Smash! Every Saturday, I will be your bartender serving up the best and craziest statistics of the week. There are no specific guidelines for the stats, just anything that I find the most impressive and interesting for the week. With that said, let’s dive into this cocktail of baseball statistics for the opening week of the MLB in 2021.
Last season, the Boston Red Sox’s biggest weaknesses was their starting pitching. So far, in 2021, that has not been the case. In the first six games this year, the starters have made a good first impression.
The New York Yankees have made it through the first week of their schedule, but what should we take away from their 3-3 start?
Jameson Taillon made a big-league start for the first time in 707 days last night. The right-hander looked solid in his return to the mound. Let’s break it down.
Baseball is back! It’s spring, the weather is getting warmer, except in Detroit, but baseball is here. Most importantly, there are real fans, not cardboard cutouts of your Uncle Alfred in the stands. With that, another year of the best hitters of the week. Let us look at who gets the honor in the 2021 opening weekend.
For the Boston Red Sox, 2021 has gotten off to a rough start. In the Red Sox first series of the season, they were outscored 18-5 as they were swept by the Baltimore Orioles. Although their offense was quiet, J.D. Martinez was one of the few bright spots. The veteran outfielder is coming off a down 2020 season but carried the Red Sox offense. As the Red Sox look to return to the playoffs, Martinez’s resurgence will be vital.
Opening weekend is behind us and we are now just scratching the surface on what is to be a long
