Mets minors notable performances:

Triple-A
Nolan McLean 6 IP, 0 ER, 6 K
Jon Singleton & Gilberto Celestino HR
Drew Gilbert 1-for-4, BB

High-A
Carson Benge 2-for-3, BB, 2B, 3B
Ronald Hernandez 2-for-4, HR, 2B
Marco Vargas 1-for-2, 2 BB

Low-A
Franklin Gomez 4 IP, 0 R
Cristofer Gomez 2 IP, 0 R, 5 K

We're going to be able to model this now.

i'm like 80% sure savant stopped updating soto's rolling xwOBA chart because it would have broken the scale

Hey @michaelrosen.bsky.social, when you have a sec, mind shooting me a message? I’m studying HRA/VRA & have a few questions. Love the FG articles on the subject and just trying to learn more

Here are my first set of projections for the 2025 Baseball Hall of Fame election, based on add/drop trends for the 92 ballots in @notmrtibbs.com's Tracker. Looking likely that we'll have a three-person BBWAA class this year, but Carlos Beltrán and Andruw Jones also have an outside shot.

I need some baseball science podcast recs

Calvin Ziegler (NYM) had his season cut short after undergoing Tommy John Surgery in April

This was his Pitching Summary during the Spring Breakout in March. He likely slots into a Relief role when he returns because of injuries, and his stuff screams future high leverage arm!
