Home Runs in 2025 - Current Pace 62, Cal Raleigh 59, Aaron Judge 58, Shohei Ohtani 57, Eugenio Suarez 54, Kyle Schwarber It would be the first time in MLB history five players have hit 50+ home runs in a season - a feat the juicers didn't even collectively achieve.
Dodgers hitters with home runs in five consecutive games... Shohei Ohtani, 2025 Max Muncy, 2019 Joc Pederson, 2015 Adrián González, 2014-15 Matt Kemp, 2010 Shawn Green, 2001 Roy Campanella, 1950
Home Run Leaders 39, Raleigh 37, Ohtani 36, Suarez 36, Judge 33, Schwarber
Ohtani is the best player on the planet because of his hitting and pitching. He's the most complete player since Ruth. Judge is the best hitter on the planet. He's one of the most consistent and feared hitters in history. Both are great and should be celebrated, not compared...
Paul Skenes' numbers through his first 44 career starts are historic... • 1.94 ERA • 0.93 WHIP • .539 opponent OPS • 10.6 K/9 • 2.2 BB/9 • +11.2 bWAR
Rich Hill appreciation post... • 45 years old • 24 years as a pro • 21 seasons in MLB • 14 MLB teams played for • 22 MiLB teams played for • 1 foreign league team played for • 1 independent ball team played for
Mookie Betts entered the season with a career .294 AVG and .897 OPS across 11 seasons. Four months later, I can't help but think of his spring illness, drastic weight loss, loss of strength and hampered preparation. His AVG is 54 points lower and his OPS is 213 points lower.

This guy is having a very good season, and I couldn't be happier for him and #Cubs fans!
There are currently just three active players in MLB with a career batting average of .300+. * minimum 2,000 plate appearances
𝗜 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗱 by Manny Machado's first half. An .841 OPS with 17 home runs and 56 RBI, as well as solid defensive numbers (+0.3 DWAR). With a +3.0 WAR, he is on pace to record his best season since 2022. A well-deserved 7th All-Star honor.
𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗠𝗟𝗕 𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆? I really hope a team gives Trey Mancini, now a free agent, an MLB opportunity in the second half. He genuinely deserves it. @ Triple-A Reno in 2025: • 92-for-299 (.308 average) • 16 home runs • 16 doubles • 62 RBI • .895 OPS
𝗟𝗢𝗩𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦! A #HRDerby baseball signed by a trio of Raleighs, including father/pitcher Todd Sr. and Cal's brother/catcher Todd Jr., which is heading to Cooperstown.
𝗚𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗧 𝗡𝗘𝗪𝗦 - Remember Kavan Markwood, the young baseball fan who fell 20 feet from the stands at PNC Park in May and suffered some extremely serious injuries? Well, here he is now, continuing to make a truly remarkable recovery.
