The length of the MLB season means that streaks can go on longer, that stats come into play, and that, most of all, division races can change drastically as teams go on hot or cold streaks. Let’s take a look at where each division stands as we head into June!

Early in the season, the American League has been defined by mediocrity and volatility. Only three of the 15 teams are above .500, and the Athletics are one of them. At .500 themselves, they’ve somehow worked their way to the top of the AL West. While that alone is notable, the more compelling story is how this team is coming together. Through a mix of emerging young hitters, defensive growth up the middle, historic streaks, and a few unexpected breakout profiles, the A's are

In sports, rivalries are like no other. People will go as far as avoiding being friends with other people if they're in favor of a rival team. One rivalry considered among the best in sports, specifically baseball, is between the San Francisco Giants and the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Out west, wearing the halo once again, Mike Trout is turning back the clock with eight home runs and renewed life in center field. After rotating between right field and designated hitter in 2025, Trout looks like himself again in center this season.

The MLB regular season is in full swing and there have been stars who are already standing out. The first Major League Baseball game was a pitching showdown with the New York Yankees against the San Francisco Giants in Oracle Park. In the first game of the season, the Yankees defeated the Giants 7-0, but the second game of the series stood out, and that's because of New York's starting pitcher, Cam Schlittler.

Toronto had a rollercoaster of emotions last season with the Toronto Blue Jays making it to the World Series for the first time since 1993, where they defeated the Philadelphia Phillies in six games. Toronto finished the 2025 season with a 94-68 record, finishing first in the American League East.

Baseball is officially back and with the start of a new year comes a fresh class of exciting rookies ready to leave their mark on the 2026 season. From teenage phenoms to college stars and even international veterans making the jump, this year's rookie class offers a little bit of everything.

The New York Yankees have gotten off to a hot start with an 8-2 record, leading the AL East. They began their season by sweeping the San Francisco Giants 3-0 and have recently won their series against the Seattle Mariners, 2-1, and the Miami Marlins, 2-1. New York has an incredible starting rotation, but one that stands out from the rest is Max Fried.

Happy baseball season to all who celebrate! If you're looking for some fun (and maybe a little frustration, it is baseball after all!), fireworks, and the power of friendship this season, may I suggest some Guards Ball?

After what has felt like forever, baseball season is finally back. There has been a lot of anticipation for the 2026 MLB season, with a potential lockout, but also some interest in who will defeat the back-to-back World Series champions, the Los Angeles Dodgers. One team in their division, the San Francisco Giants, recently finished up a series against the New York Yankees, with the Yankees sweeping the series 3-0.

With the World Baseball Classic coming to an end, and Venezuela taking the championship home, there were a lot of teams that stood out. We saw many underdogs and intense games throughout the tournament, where we thought we had a set-in-stone winner. There were games such as USA vs. Italy, where we thought USA would win easily, but it went the other way. One game in particular that turned a lot of heads was Venezuela versus Japan.

It's been a busy start to the year for sports fans. But beyond the global stage, college baseball and softball have quietly kicked off seasons full of early surprises and standout performances. Through the opening weeks, non-conference play showcased the elite level of competition that will be on display all season long. Now, as conference play begins, the stakes are rising, bringing an intense stretch of games on the road to a championship title.

The World Baseball Classic is held every four years, with players representing their countries competing for the championship. In 2023, the World Baseball Classic champions were Team Japan, who defeated Team USA 3-2 in the final. Team Puerto Rico is a country that also has a lot of great players. They were definitely a contender after the group stages and had a strong run in the tournament.

MLB season is right around the corner! Just before spring training and the World Baseball Classic got underway, many teams had fan fests that gave fans the chance to interact with their teams.

With baseball back in the rotation, it's almost time to start gearing up for the regular season. Even with spring training, there are already games fans can start to look forward to. The San Diego Padres and the Arizona Diamondbacks are set to play in Mexico City on April 25-26 at Estadio Alfredo Harp Helú.

So… you just spent the last month engaged with sports you don’t usually care about at the Olympics. Curling, hockey, skiing – you were ready to show up, repping your country and snacking on popcorn as you yelled at the TV about a sport you didn’t really know that much about. But what about now? Besides the Paralympics (which you should totally be watching), what other national tournaments are there to celebrate? We’ll help you out: The World Baseball Classic!

An integral part of modern sports culture is analytics. Whether through fantasy leagues, front offices, or casual fans catching up on a game, data now shapes how sports are discussed and understood. With MLB spring training underway and the NHL season entering its final stretch as playoff races intensify and end-of-season awards loom, this is a perfect moment to examine the evolution of analytics in sports.

With spring training back in full swing, it's never too early to see who may be early contenders for the MLB Playoffs. The Los Angeles Dodgers spent their offseason looking for power hitters and locking down their essential players to repeat last year's success. The Dodgers are preparing to gear up for another successful season and win another championship, which would make them World Series winners for three consecutive years.

If you are reading this then you've probably heard of Columbia Pictures’ 1992 hit film A League of Their Own. If you haven't, here's how the story goes: the movie focuses on the inaugural season of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL), which was formed during World War II while many male players were serving in the military. This was the first of its kind that truly is a league of and for their own. It’s based on a real league: the AAGBPL ran from 1943

Unfortunately, it's not often that a player wants to spend their whole career in Cleveland. So it means that much more when a player dedicates themselves to this city, especially when that player is as great an athlete and character as Cleveland Guardians star José Ramírez.
