Cada partido de beisbol, cada noche, incluye una serie de lanzamientos que no habíamos visto antes. El lanzador promedio de las Grandes Ligas lanza más fuerte que nunca (un promedio de 94.0 mph en rectas de dos y cuatro costuras, igualando el récord del año pasado), pero lanza menos rectas que nunca.

Ocho meses después de la muerte de Pete Rose, el camino para su entronización al Salón de la Fama se abrirá por primera vez desde que se bloqueó hace 34 años. El comisionado de beisbol Rob Manfred, actuando en una petición de la familia de Rose, eliminó a la leyenda de los Reds de la lista de no elegibles el martes. La decisión del comisionado está separada de los procedimientos de votación, pero hace que sea elegible para la consideración de Cooperstown tan pronto como en diciembre de 2027.
