Shohei Ohtani had a pretty amazing season pitching debut game. Threw over 100 mph on several pitches. Hit 451 foot HR. First AL pitcher with a home run in decades.
He was working on the old saw about how to win a ball game: pitch a shutout, hit a homerun.
Any Deacs on rosters to start the season?
Will Craig is the most recent. He played a little in 2020 for the Pirates, and was back in camp with them this Spring. Parker Dunshee started several Spring Training games for the A's. Stuart Fairchild played in several Spring Training games for the Diamondbacks as did Gavin Sheets with the White Sox. Also, Connor Johnstone pitched in a handful of ST games for the Braves. Currently, no WF players are on active MLB rosters, but it is likely that at least some of that group will get called up at some point this season.

So in the name of diversity and standing up for minority rights MLB just took away the All Star Game from the 3rd most diverse city in the major leagues and gave it to the whitest city in the major leagues.

Stacie Abrams is already in panic mode and Atlanta's mayor is saying this is totally going to backfire. But as long as everyone looks and sounds good on Twitter that is all that really matters.

Pirates about to get swept by the Reds, 30-4 over 3 days
