PHOENIX – The most polarizing topic by far throughout spring training was the rule changes for the 2023 season. The massive changes have forced fan bases to take a side on issues that aren’t necessarily black and white. The most glaring rule change is the pitch clock and the handcuffs it puts on pitchers with limited time and mound disengagements. With limited disengagements, pick-off attempts will be affected. At times in the past, a pitcher would throw over to first base without any limits.

The play-by-play, color analysis, sideline reporting, as well as the pregame, postgame and halftime show were all led by women.

TEMPE – On Sept. 10, 2016, a young Texas Tech quarterback threw for five touchdowns, ran for another and racked up 540 passing yards at Sun Devil Stadium, dissecting Arizona State’s defense.

Little did folks in the stadium that day realize they were watching a generational talent, a quarterback who would go on to win NFL MVP awards and Super Bowl rings.

SCOTTSDALE – The Arizona Diamondbacks clubhouse at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick was filled with excitement for today’s World Baseball Classic final between Team Japan and Team USA. The main reason? The starting pitcher for Team USA is one of their own, Merrill Kelly. The right-hander with Arizona ties will be handed the ball in the biggest game of his life for Team USA with an opportunity to be remembered for a great performance, or dismissed for a poor one.
