Chart showing playoff fastballs have gone up in velocity from 92.1 MPH in 2008 to 95.8 MPH in 2025.

I don't think I will ever get tired of seeing this because it's so incredible

Playoff fastballs this year average 95.8 MPH, up from 92.1 MPH back in 2008.

The *average* heater is basically 96 MPH. Baseball players are wild, man.

College radio stations are seeing a surge in student interest.

Stations that once struggled to fill airtime are now overflowing with student DJs. 

I spoke to 7 college radio stations across the U.S. to understand what is driving the revival:

I am seeing a flood of “child next to alligators on the Ring camera” and “cat steals fish from a supermarket” videos that are obviously AI. the uptick is quite genuinely alarming

“.. a Hollywood studio chief was crowing about how great A.I. is because he wouldn’t have to pay ‘all these idiot producers and actors and lighting people and composers and writers and agents.’”

OpenAI claims companies must opt-out of having their copyrighted characters & content appear in Sora

Legal experts say studios have grounds to sue:

“They’re setting up this false bargain where they can do this unless you opt out. And if you don’t, it’s your fault. That’s not the way the law works"

Four-seam fastball velocity in the MLB postseason has climbed from 93.0 in 2008 to 96.0 in 2025.

Four-seam fastball velocity in the postseason, 2008-2025.

Your eyes are not deceiving you. Everyone is throwing harder. Not long ago, 100 mph was a rarity among relievers. We are now in an era of 100 mph starting pitchers.

There's something to be said for everyone who thought getting bounced out in a wildcard game was unfair that it took 16 tries in this current format for a team to make it matter

no it doesn’t

In 1971, a 30-year-old Neal Adams sat down to crank out a Superman cover for Julie Schwartz. Took him an hour or so. It became one of the most iconic comic book covers of all time. Coming up at Heritage soon. Might be a million dollar piece.

The Phillies’ Harrison Bader has been painting since he was a kid. And it’s helped shape his game. Bader took an interest in art history in high school and still paints. It’s helped him get through the highs and lows of his major league career, while keeping him in “the present moment.”

Is This How the Strikeout Era Ends? How the 2024 playoffs could change modern pitching philosophy

Watching last night's games, I was reminded of this research I published last year, suggesting that teams' increasingly aggressive bullpen usage was backfiring as managers overwork and overexpose their best relievers.

That was Steven Matz's first postseason appearance since...Game 4 of the 2015 World Series.
