Are The Braves A Good Defensive Team? Michael Harris II can go and get the ball and Defensive Runs Saved recognizes that.

Are the Braves a good defensive team heading into 2026?

We think so ... there's a lot of talent there, particularly at first base and center field.

Are the Mariners A Good Defensive Team? Julio Rodriguez is coming off his best season in Defensive Runs Saved and is a candidate to win a Fielding Bible Award in 2026.

JULIO!

Julio Rodriguez is establishing himself as one of MLB's best defensive center fielders.

The Mariners are good at catcher too.

But do they have enough to be considered a good defensive team?

Are the Reds A Good Defensive Team? Ke’Bryan Hayes is the best thing going for the Reds defensively heading into 2026.

Are the Reds a good defensive team?

They have arguably the best defensive player in MLB.

But what else do they have?

@zcrizer.bsky.social Perhaps The Naked Gun baseball scene (montage portion) foreshadowed all this with the guy flashing the lights from the dugout.

Over five million people protested against the regime in June.

More than seven million people took to the streets in October.

March 28 will be even bigger, with nearly 3,000 events already on the No Kings Day map. Be part of the largest protest in American history: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Are The Tigers A Good Defensive Team? They’re decent, but have made themselve better through good positioning.

We begin our look at how good each team could be defensively in 2026

The Tigers have been standouts at defensive positioning the last 2 seasons. And they're largely running back last year's roster.

But there are a few wild cards that could go either way

Are The Phillies A Good Defensive Team? There are a range of scenarios for this year’s team. Adolis GarcΓ­a will play an important role in them.

Today we begin our look at how good each team could be defensively in 2026

The Phillies swapped out one of the worst right fielders for one of the best. That's going to help.

But they have some weaknesses that will probably show up again

Are The Dodgers A Good Defensive Team? The Dodgers have ranked in the top three in Defensive Runs Saved in each of the last four seasons, so it seems like the answer is going to be yes.

Today we begin our look at MLB teams and how they could fare defensively in 2026

Are the Dodgers a good defensive team?

We'd be surprised if they weren't. They always seem to find their way to the top.

Stat of the Weak (Contact) The leader in highest percentage of soft contact induced in 2025 was … Kris Bubic.

New Stat of the Week!

Or in this case, the Stat of the Weak (Contact)

We've tracked hard, medium & soft contact for a long time. You can still find the data on FanGraphs

We made a list of which pitchers are best at getting soft contact

Lions Pride!!!

TCNJ sweeps the men's and women's basketball championships.

Men won close yesterday, women romped today

I broadcast some rough losses in William Paterson's gym in the 1990s. Glad to watch the end of their title-winning game there today.

Time to dance!
