Josh Taylor To Pitch Back-To-Back Days At Triple-A

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Josh Taylor (back) is expected to pitch out of the bullpen at Triple-A Worcester on both Friday and Saturday, throwing one inning in each game. The 29-year-old has been out all year due to a back strain, but if all goes well this weekend, we could see him back with […]

Early Pitching Outliers: Swinging-Strike Rate vs. Strikeout Rate

It is very early in the season, as the league leaders have made just four starts. Because of this, we have a lot of strangeness in the data that has been generated, especially with pitching, which is an inherently random exercise. One thing that can be a bit random over a small sample size is […]

Franchy Cordero Doing Work At First Base

Boston Red Sox outfielder Franchy Cordero has played first base in two straight games for Triple-A Worcester. The 27-year-old is typically accustomed to playing left field, but the move to first base suggests that he could be called up to give the team an alternative to the struggling Bobby Dalbec. Cordero has been swinging a […]

Where Have Robbie Ray's Strikeouts Gone?

Winning the Cy Young award is quite a prestigious honor. From Don Newcombe in 1956 to Sandy Koufax, Bob Gibson, Tom Seaver, Greg Maddux, Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez, and many more, that honor puts you in elite company. Last season, we saw two pitchers take home their first Cy Young award. However, whereas Corbin Burnes […]

The Cincinnati Bengals selected Michigan safety Daxton Hill with the No. 31 overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft on Thursday.

George Karlaftis Goes To Chiefs Late In First Round

The Kansas City Chiefs took Purdue edge rusher George Karlaftis with the No. 30 overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft on Thursday night.

Patriots Take Offensive Guard Cole Strange In The First Round

The New England Patriots selected Tennessee-Chattanooga offensive guard Cole Strange with the No. 29 overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft on Thursday night.

The Jacksonville Jaguars selected Utah linebacker Devin Lloyd with the No. 27 overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft on Thursday night.
