I’ll be glued to Jordan Hicks tonight. The Giants newly minted starter is posting a 1.59 ERA over 34 innings…he’s been a ground ball machine (his 59% is top 93rd in MLB)!

wRC+ leaders ages 24 and under:
- Elly De La Cruz (168)
- CJ Abrams (162)
- Gunnar Henderson (160)
- Riley Greene (157)
- Bobby Witt Jr (155)
- Brice Turang (131)
- Masyn Winn (118)

Guys like Tyler Freeman, JJ Bleday, Brenton Doyle have more fWAR than Corbin Carroll through 30 games…time to panic?

Love how Colton Cowser didn't make sure his ST was a flash in the pan. AL Rookie of the Month posted a 1.004 OPS, 6 HR, 18 RBI in April...just absurd!

Tyler Nevin is the hottest hitter in baseball! 10-for-24 with 3 HR over the last week!

Brother of Jackson Chourio, Jaison is just 18 and tearing it up in the Guardians system…he’s posting a 169 wRC+, 22.5 BB%, 2 HR, 8 SB through 89 PA!

Francisco Lindor wasn’t in the Mets starting lineup today, yet got the call mid game and went 2-for-4 with 2 2B, 4 RBI, walk off…can’t teach that competitive edge.

Death, taxes, and Ryan Mountcastle hitting TANKS off lefties…so damn underrated.

3-run HR for Jacob Stallings this afternoon, he’s finding a home in Colorado. Slashing .346/.976 OPS…nice to see him have success after a rough go in Miami.

Give the Red Sox credit. 15+ guys on the IL, yet 18-13 with a +41 run differential…youngsters Crawford/Abreu stepping up!

Nick Castellanos is dead last in fWAR at -0.9 to begin his ‘24 campaign. To make matters worse, he went 0-for-4 with 4 K’s tonight…that’s right: a Golden Sombrero.

Not even a quarter into the season, and Shota Imanaga is my new favorite arm to watch.

Awesome to see Willy Adames get comfortable this season. 2-for-4 with a moonshot, 4 RBI, 2 R today…OPS up to .869. Contract year on the horizon!

Still don’t know why a contender didn’t take a stab at Tommy Pham. 2-for-2 with a HR, 2 RBI today…slashing .409/1.045 with 22 ABs as White Sox! Stud!

Name a dark horse MLB All-Star right now. I’ll go: Ryan Jeffers is on a TEAR to start ‘24!

We are about a month into the season, and Alec Bohm is 4th in MLB fWAR at 1.9…not too shabby for a guy who posted a 1.4 fWAR all of last year! Love it.

There were more beehive delays tonight than San Francisco Giants runs scored. This is why we watch MLB every single day…these are the hard hitting stats!

Pasquatch, Polanco, now Andrew Benintendi…cmon people who do I reverse jinx next?

Marlins down 5-to-0 all game, a 9th inning rally —> walk off in extras! Dane Myers is unsung hero (2-for-3, 3 RBI, the winning knock)…HUGE for momentum.
