Umpires first began calling both balls and strikes way back in 1864, and baseballers have been arguing about those calls ever since. Strike-zone judgment has been the subject of some untold number of verbal (and, yes, sometimes even physical) tussles. It has led to outbursts, interruptions, ejections. The greatest managerial

SURPRISE, Ariz. -- There are a lot of questions when it comes to Evan Carter going into 2025. Can he hit left-handed pitching? Will he start in center field? Will he start anywhere in the outfield in general? The most important question, though, is if he’s healthy. The answer to

SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Jon Gray's goals for 2025 include pitching 200+ innings and collecting 200 strikeouts, something he’s never done in a full season. Those goals aren’t out of the realm of possibility for a starting pitcher, but it clearly signals something about Gray: that he's still a starting pitcher.
