YES GROW THE GAME MY FRIENDS

Guys who hit 20+ homers this year and are playing in the World Series

There have been 412 pitches thrown by MLB starters at 102+ MPH in the entire pitch tracking era and Jacob Misiorowski threw 365 of them this season. It's completely ridiculous.

I used to love watching a very similar game called "basketball" but you couldn't just run around with the ball like this.

2026 World Series Closers

Will Jacob Misiorowski throw a 105+ MPH pitch in the World Series?

Only 1 pitch has been thrown by a starting pitcher in a World Series game at 101+ MPH in the entire pitch tracking era (2008-now). That is about to change.

30 steals in 2025 and 30 more in 2026 with that sprint speed is crazy.

I HATE HOME RUN TROTS THAT TAKE 37 SECONDS EXCEPT WHEN I LOVE THEM

There have been 433 swings at Cade Smith's splitter during his big league career and this is the only home run.

Over 26% of pitches thrown by Rays pitchers this postseason have been changeups.
