jesus rodriguez with a great debut in front of his family - his first mlb hit that drove in a run in the second inning - his first mlb home run (opposite field no less) in the seventh inning giants are doing pretty well with rookies (susac also had a great debut in front of family)

mike trout hit is 11th home run of the year and is back to his former mvp self— a triple slash of .271 / .424 / .542 with 1.7 fwar and .431 woba he credits part of his resurgence to more mental reframings: - slowing down and enjoying the little moments with teammates, for each drill, at-bat, and the day in the sun or cold - shifting back to center field where he's most comfortable, a request he made after new angels manager and former teammate, kurt suzuki, ask how the angels could best help him - connecting with other players through his new golf course, trout national in new jersey sometimes players don't need to look at all the data to optimize performance. sometimes it's just a mental reframe and being healthy. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/48677767/mlb-2026-mike-trout-angels-changes-offseason-return-vintage-form

cam schlittler lit up radar guns in his start against the orioles - 101 mph dotted on the outside corner to adley rutschman - 100.6 mph blown by dylan beavers for the strikeout - 100.5 mph dotted on the inside corner to colton cowser - 100.3 mph past leody teveras up and away (a similar spot to murakami's homer) this is probably the most impressive development story for the yankees who drafted schlittler in the 7th round of the 2022 mlb draft

murakami with the most impressive homer from last night - blasts a 98 mph high and away fastball from Soriano 429 ft with a 109 mph exit velo - hitters are batting a collective 0.088 against 98+ mph fastballs in that quadrant - murakami is the only hitter to homer off 98+ mph in that quadrant the white sox are also responsible for pushing jose soriano's era from 0.24 to 1.74 in his last two starts

eldridge is the headliner here, but don’t sleep on the impact jesus rodriguez could make he came over in the deadline deal for doval and plays c/3b/1b/rf. his overall profile might also remind some giants fans of a certain panda he doesn’t strike out/whiff often, chases a lot of pitches, and swings liberally. lots of flexibility for vitello and allows susac to pitch hit more often when he’s healthy

yankees hitters had themselves a collective day against baltimore - jasson dominguez went 3-5 with a homer and two doubles that generated 2.46 run value above expected - aaron judge went 2-3 with a homer and generated 2.33 run value above expected - ben rice went 2-2 with a homer and a double that generated 2.19 run value above expected wild to see 3 of the top 5 run value leaders from yesterday come from one game
