The no-hitter remains one of the most notable feats in baseball. Even if it seems like no-hitters are on the rise, there is an argument that isn't the case, and no matter how you slice it, it is one of the game's greatest achievements to get 27 or more outs without surrendering ...
The Tigers haven't had a starting pitcher make the All-Star team since Michael Fulmer in 2017. It's tough for a starter from a rebuilding team to earn a selection, but if Mize can continue on this trajectory of stingy, solid pitching, he'll open a lot of eyes by the time next year...
There have been just two no-hitters in MLB playoff history, while there's only been one perfect game—and it happened nearly 70 years ago. These are two very rare occasions in baseball in general, so it's even more difficult to achieve under the pressure of the playoffs. A no-hitter ...
Moreover, the 1990s saw another generation of new ballparks, many of which featured small dimensions that were more to the liking of power hitters. During the second half of the 20th century, expansion was perceived by baseball executives as both a source of added revenue for clubs (large ...
The 33-year-old southpaw had a solid if unspectacular strikeout and walk profile. Heaney has fanned around 23-24% of opposing hitters in each of the past two seasons. After running a career-high 9.4% walk rate in ’23, he cut the free passes to a personal-low 5.9% clip last year. ...

Statcast launched bat tracking data for the first time, which let us see who had the top bat speeds in baseball. (It was, unsurprisingly, hitters like Giancarlo Stanton, Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani.) But before the 2025 season begins, we want to have something to compare those hitters'....
offense was in a bit of a sinkhole from 1988 to 1992. Those numbers would have made Plantier one of the best hitters in the league. James mentioned the scouts who said Plantier had a big swing and wouldn't hit major league pitching, when James really thought they were reflecting on Plan...
Team Needs In spite of the long free agent list, the Rangers still have a fine 26-man roster under control. The bullpen will be a priority; they’ll definitely add at least one reliable righty and lefty to join Leclerc and company. They could make an effort to retain Montgomery, but if...
