Will Mookie's September surge set up October heroics? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Mookie Betts endured the weakest offensive season of his career in 2025 (.732 OPS, a league-average-ish 104 OPS+), and, for most of 2026, it seemed like more of the same. Through the first 90 games, which took us more than halfway through August, given that he missed time earlier with an oblique strain, Betts was hitting just .232/.238/.401, with a mere .688 OPS. He had, at times, been pushed down as low as sixth in the lineup. If last year’s issues could have been chalked up to an early-season
Phillies-Braves position-by-position breakdown (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For the third time in five years, we’ll get the Braves vs. the Phillies in the National League playoffs. In 2022, the Phillies won the NLDS 3 games to 1. In 2023, the Phillies won the NLDS 3 games to 1. We don’t know how this year will go, other than to say it won’t be 3 games to 1. The Wild Card, after all, is a best-of-three. Breaking it down, position by position ... Our first problem arrives immediately, in that we have a few catchers with strong name value who have just not performed well a
Take a deep dive into a four-way NL Rookie of the Year race (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There’s been a mistake, we think, in the conversation around the National League Rookie of the Year voting, which requires ballots to be submitted in just four more weeks. It’s long been seen as a two-horse race between JJ Wetherholt of the Cardinals and Sal Stewart of the Reds, and in fact the two of them were indeed tied atop the most recent MLB.com straw poll of writers. Were it just that, it would be a fascinating discussion between a defensively-elite middle infielder (Wetherholt) and a cor
Which 1B are best at receiving throws? New data has the answer (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Through the first four-plus months of this season, St. Louis first baseman Alec Burleson has recorded nearly 1,000 putouts. That sounds like a lot of work, and it is; it’s the largest figure of any player in the Majors in 2026. That number, however, encompasses two very different parts of his job. Approximately 25% of that total is fielding batted balls, at which Burleson, who had spent much of his time in the outfield in his previous three seasons before becoming St. Louis’ primary first basema
Philly's new-look lineup bucks baseball tradition. Here's why it works (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When the Phillies traded for Luis Arraez at the Deadline, most of the discussion was understandably about how he’d fit into their defensive lineup. All of the moving parts required infielders Bryson Stott, Alec Bohm and Bryce Harper to each move to new positions -- along with the more recent development of designated hitter Kyle Schwarber having to find his rarely used first-base mitt. That alone is a tricky situation that has many questions left to be answered. But maybe, it turns out, there’s
