One of the great struggles we face as a people is trying to overcome emotionality with rationality. Thankfully, baseball functions not just as an entertainment option but an instructor. It features the most emotionally and mentally taxing of any of the major professional sports. They play a month of fake

The Yankees' new "Torpedo" bats are the talk of baseball. The bats -- which Major League Baseball confirmed are legal -- are defined by an untraditional barrel, which rests closer to the hitter's hands. "Torpedo" bats are designed with more wood, and thus more mass, concentrated in the area of

Throughout baseball history, the quest for the perfect swing has inspired frequent experimentation in bat design. Some of these creations were fleeting oddities, while others sparked lasting changes.

MILWAUKEE -- Bob Uecker was dearly missed at Monday’s Brewers home opener, and yet he was everywhere.

BALTIMORE -- More tough injury news has come for the Orioles, who will now be without a key piece of their lineup for much of the first half of the 2025 season. Colton Cowser was placed on the 10-day injured list on Monday, a day after he fractured his left

MILWAUKEE -- Less than 24 hours after Jonathan India was drilled in the head by a 98.9 mph cutter, the Royals infielder/outfielder was back in the lineup Monday, hitting leadoff and playing third base, for the Royals’ afternoon game against the Brewers at American Family Field. According to manager Matt

MILWAUKEE -- Already “decimated” by injuries during Spring Training, the Brewers absorbed another loss Monday when they placed right-hander Aaron Civale on the 15-day injured list with a strained left hamstring. The team called up righty reliever Grant Anderson from Triple-A Nashville to help lend some depth, but he’s limited

NEW YORK -- Standing in front of his Yankee Stadium locker on Sunday, Anthony Volpe presented two bats for inspection. In his left hand, the Yankees shortstop displayed one he had used last season; in his right, the “Torpedo” model that has become a hot topic following the club’s historic

Red Sox slugger Rafael Devers' 2025 season is off to a historic start, but not in the way the three-time All-Star might have hoped. After going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts against the Rangers on Saturday and 0-for-4 with two more strikeouts on Sunday, Devers is now 0-for-16 with 12 K’s

A great night at a Minor League Baseball game can instill a strong sense of community, and communities are at their best when they're able to welcome and empower people who have traditionally been sidelined. Baseball, like many sports, can still sometimes be so male-centric as to feel exclusionary, making

NEW YORK -- Jazz Chisholm Jr. raised his bat high and angled his body as though attempting to steer his seventh-inning drive, savoring the ensuing celebration as his second home run of the game capped a historic weekend. With some assistance from their new “Torpedo” lumber, Chisholm and his teammates

LOS ANGELES -- Here is the sentence you have been anticipating since the end of last season: Jesse Chavez is once again a member of Atlanta’s bullpen. The inevitable occurred on Monday morning when the Braves purchased Chavez’s contract from Triple-A Gwinnett and designated for assignment Héctor Neris. This is

Joe DePugh apparently had quite the arm when he took the mound as a kid. His fastball would blow by hitters and, boy, make them look like fools. At least, that's how he's remembered by one of his friends and former teammates -- music legend Bruce Springsteen, who took to

In a recent phone interview with MLB.com, Yankees closer Devin Williams discussed a wide range of topics, from getting his first save of the season against the Brewers -- his former big league team -- to his first experience with Yankees fans last fall. MLB.com: How nervous were you when

PHOENIX -- It was the sixth inning Sunday and Torey Lovullo had a decision to make. His team was, in his words, “flatlining” at the time offensively and needed a spark. The Diamondbacks' manager looked over his options and sent Pavin Smith up to hit for second baseman Garrett Hampson.

With the Minor League season opening this week, here's where the Yankees' Top 30 Prospects are projected to start:

ST. LOUIS – A dying clock and the fear of striking out caused a panicked Willson Contreras to do something that he instantly regretted in the bottom of the third inning of the Cardinals’ 5-1 win over the Twins on Saturday.

ARLINGTON -- “Simple Man,” Jacob deGrom’s longtime warm-up song blared throughout Globe Life Field on Sunday afternoon. It was a welcome tune for many as the Rangers' ace made his 2025 debut. deGrom -- who signed a five-year, $185 million deal entering 2023 -- has only made 10 starts since

And we are underway. After the rush of Opening Weekend, we probably don't need to give you another reason to get excited for the first full week of baseball in 2025. But on the off chance you could use a little help in the enthusiasm department (it happens to the

MIAMI - It was only right that "Mr. Marlin" Jeff Conine's Legends Hall Fame induction ended with a Marlins walk-off. And even better, his son Griffin Conine launched a game-tying homer in the seventh inning before Miami walked it off two innings later for the 3-2 series-clinching win over Pittsburgh
