“My arm would explode if I threw that fastball" New column: I've spent 4 months asking people about Jacob Misiorowski They see him as a "breakthrough athlete" who has redefined the limits of the sport So I wrote about the Meaning of the Miz It's free to read www.nytimes.com/athletic/762...

Jacob Misiorowski puts up eye-popping numbers. But the Meaning of the Miz is so much more (Gift Article)

How do we measure what makes Misiorowski — and his breakthrough season — so spectacular? And what does it all mean — for him and this sport?

Some of the positional leaders for Defensive Runs Saved have pretty big gaps between themselves and their counterparts. Impressive years for Wilyer Abreu, Taylor Walls, Cody Bellinger, Brice Turang, and Ty France in sticking out from the rest of the crowd defensively.

4 bar graphs - one showing that rf Wilyer Abreu has 26 Runs Saved and Seiya Suzuki has 14, another showing SS Taylor Walls has 21 Runs Saved and Jose Caballero has 13, another showing Cody Bellinger has 20 Runs Saved and Jackson Chourio has 13, another showing Brice Turang has 21 Runs Saved and Cole Young has 15, and one other showing Ty France has 16 Runs Saved and Matt Olson has 11.

NYY George Lombard Jr. has piled up 8 Defensive Runs Saved in only 264 defensive innings this season. All 8 have come from PART — SIS’s metric for positioning, air balls, range and throwing. No assistance from double play runs saved. 264 innings. 8 runs saved. Data via @sportsinfosolutions.com

Here’s a defensive nugget. 🪎 NY Mets outfielder Carson Benge has quietly been a weapon with his arm. He’s at +3 DRS- with all 3 runs coming from his outfield arm. Data: @sportsinfosolutions.com

Weird MLB defensive stat of the day: The Guardians turns 73.4% of grounders into outs without a shift- 7th in MLB. With a partial shift? 69.9%- dead last. Sometimes moving everybody around apparently makes things worse. 🤷🏽‍♂️ via @sportsinfosolutions.com

Baseball fans… You get one defender to protect a 1-run lead in the 9th. Who are you taking? DRS Wilyer Abreu — 25 Ceddanne Rafaela — 20 Brice Turang — 20 Taylor Walls — 19 Andy Pages — 19 Cody Bellinger — 19 I think I’m taking Walls at SS. Data provided by: @sportsinfosolutions.com

Murphy has won NL Manager of the Year the past two seasons. With the Brewers rolling, could he add a third?

Andy Pages’ defensive turnaround is ridiculous. 2025: -1 DRS 2026: +19 DRS That’s a 20-run swing in one year, and he’s currently tied for third among all MLB players in Defensive Runs Saved. That’s not improvement. That’s a transformation. Info provided by: @sportsinfosolutions.com

Baseball. Different angles, better stories. I’m usually somewhere between a camera, a notebook, and a question that's been bugging me. Figured Bluesky might be a good place for some stuff. Hello everyone!
