Other Players Who Could (One Day) Join Shohei Ohtani in Baseball’s Exclusive 50/50 Club

3 days ago | justbaseball.com | Leo Morgenstern

In baseball, a 50/50 season refers to a year in which a player hits at least 50 home runs and steals at least 50 bases. Once a player has completed a 50/50 season, he is said to have joined the 50/50 club. It’s uncommon enough that a player hits as many as 40 home runs in the same season that he steals at least 40 bases. Only six players have ever had a 40/40 season. Simply put, reaching either one of those statistical thresholds is hard enough on its own.
8 Pitching Prospects Whose Stock is Rising

6 days ago | justbaseball.com | Aram Leighton

On the heels of our hitting prospects whose stock is rising piece, it’s time to look at some arms who have already turned heads through their first handful of starts. In one sense, it can be a little bit more difficult to put a ton of stock into a one-month sample from pitchers as they are typically only throwing once per week in the minor leagues with generally conservative workloads.
Jacob deGrom Is Back To Looking Like His Old Self

1 week ago | justbaseball.com | Michael Fisher

Pitching for a Texas Rangers team that has been struggling to pick up wins lately, right-hander Jacob deGrom is far from the problem. So far this season, he resembles the star the Rangers envisioned they’d be getting when they signed him before the 2023 season. The former two-time Cy Young winner is part of one of the best starting rotations in the majors six weeks into the season. In year three of his five-year, $185 million contract with Texas, deGrom looks like his old self. Well, kind of.
2025 MLB All-Scrappy Team: Who Are the Top Gamers in Baseball?

1 week ago | justbaseball.com | Zach Lutz

In a league dominated by towering sluggers, triple-digit heaters and highlight-reel superstars, baseball still finds room for the grinders, the gamers, the scrappy glue guys and the certified pests who never take a pitch off and somehow always seem to be in the middle of a rally, a web gem, or a gritty win. Today, I present a roster of players who embody those traits. The All-Scrappy Team.
What's Behind Pete Crow-Armstrong's Newfound Power?

1 week ago | justbaseball.com | Daniel Curren

Pete Crow-Armstrong entered 2025 an offensive profile away from becoming an elite player. The then 22-year-old outfielder showed flashes of success during parts of the 2024 season, but needed to increase his 87 wRC+. Those improvements are coming in a big way this season. Entering play on Tuesday, Crow-Armstrong owns a .271/.306/.550 slash line for a 137 wRC+ in his first 150 plate appearances of the season.
8 Hitting Prospects Whose Stock is Rising

1 week ago | justbaseball.com | Aram Leighton

While it’s early in the season, a month’s worth of games has given us fresh looks and data with many players reaching more challenging levels than we last saw them at. When dealing with smaller samples that could imply a leap offensively, I typically want to see a mechanical adjustment in the video or a dramatic shift in the batted ball quality and angles. All of the following hitters check at least one of those boxes, if not both.
Monday MLB Best Bets, May 5 MLB Picks, MLB Player Props Today

The White Sox!!What a win! Things looked bleak early as the Astros took a 4-0 lead after Bryse Wilson went way longer than I thought he would. Luckily, the White Sox mounted a comeback and grabbed a 5-4 lead. Then, rain came down, and they called the game early, so we didn’t have to sweat the White Sox bullpen any further. White Sox ML (+180) was a massive success. Today, we have to lay some juice, but I believe it will be worth it. You can find all of my picks on BetMGM.
Everything Said in Royals Clubhouse After Historic Home Run Binge

1 week ago | justbaseball.com | Kevin Henry

BALTIMORE — Coming into Sunday’s game against the Baltimore Orioles, there were questions about exactly when the Kansas City Royals’ offense would break out of its slow start to the season. The answer came in a stunning and historic way inside Camden Yards. The Royals blasted a franchise-record seven home runs on Sunday, including six solo shots, as Kansas City posted an 11-6 win to finish off a 5-1 road trip through American League East competition (Baltimore and Tampa Bay).
2025 Topps Chrome Black Review

It may not be a “high end” release in terms of price, but it looks and feels that way when you get your hands on it. Always one of my Top-5 favorite releases of the year so I had to open a few boxes for myself. The main difference you’ll notice between the 2025 iteration and last year’s release is the price of hobby boxes. As of this writing, you can get one for around $260. That’s a massive increase over the 2024 version that roughly went for around $180 months after it came out.
Royals Notebook: Michael Wacha's Bad Inning, Bobby Witt Jr.'s Hit Streak Ends

1 week ago | justbaseball.com | Kevin Henry

BALTIMORE — The Kansas City Royals came into Camden Yards on Friday night on a hot streak, winning nine of their last 10 games. However, Baltimore’s Dean Kremer grounded Kansas City’s high-flying offense quickly, setting the tone for what would be a dominating performance. Kremer threw a season-high 7.0 innings, allowing a season-low three hits as the Orioles rode a seventh-inning outburst to a 3-0 win.
