Three years ago, Gleyber Torres exploded going deep 38 times with 90 RBI and 90 runs scored. He was a star. Then 2020 happened.

Still, he was a terrible offensive performer late in the year, soul crushingly bad, and that’s causing a good deal Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

Players Who Benefit From The DH
It sounds like we are finally going to get a universal designated hitter with the NL and AL finally adopting the same set of rules (it boggles the mind to think that they used different rules yet there was still interleague play each year).

2021 Review: MLB Park Factors
