One of Paul Skenes’ pitches is among of the most fun I’ve ever written up.

“It’s not like any other sinker, and it’s not like any other splitter. It’s a hybrid pitch. … Call it whatever you want.”

Whatever the mid-90s, low-spin pitch is, it’s nasty. atmlb.com/3w4tZ2W

I talked to Jurrangelo Cijntje, Mississippi State Baseball's ambidextrous pitcher who can throw 99 mph with his right hand and 95 with his left.

He wants to take his unique superpower to the highest level.

'My goal is to be a both-handed, starting pitcher in MLB.'

'I throw 99 from the right side. And from the left side, I top out at 95.'

There's no one quite like Mississippi State's ambidextrous pitcher Jurrangelo Cijntje: atmlb.com/3QbCBM6

For New York Magazine, I wrote about the Rat Czar Kathleen Corradi after her first year on the job

It’s also about Eric Adams’s fight against rodents, his merry band of czars, and whether that’s a tool that works or not nymag.com/intelligencer/…

christian yelich is, somehow, the oldest position player on the brewers. confronted with this reality, he sat down with GQ Sports to reflect on everyone he’s crossed paths with (from josé fernández to ichiro) & why he’s not chasing the MVP dragon anymore

Most baseball dugouts are all the same, but Princeton Baseball has something no other college can claim: A geophysicist in its dugout.

Here's how the team's pitching coach Joe Haumacher and scientist Adam Maloof are bringing analytics to the players:

'It is high! It is far! It is gone! It's a grand slam!'

John Sterling's last home run call was a Stantonian blast 🔥

This was a fun one to research (and talk to people). Happy Jackie Robinson Day! #jackierobinsonday #jackie42 mlb.com/news/former-ml…

Amazing idea that Matt Monagan just suggested: Instead of having someone throw a first pitch on Patriot's Day, the Red Sox should have the first pizza toss. Just play Jerry Remy saying, 'Here comes the pizzer' as the slice crosses the plate.

I’m honored to have written this story for #JackieRobinsonDay about Jackie’s unique Hall of Fame plaque.

It's Patriots Day in Boston, so that means it's the anniversary of the Fenway pizza throw -- one of the great baseball fan moments ever. I talked to pizza-thrower Dan Kelly about it a few years ago in a very fun, very entertaining interview.
