I think OPS is fine but it is more for the casual fan. WRC+ is more exacting but my brain likes to look at BA, OBP, and SLG first and then I look over to WRC+ or OPS+, depending what site I'm on.

Gabe, I still don't get your concerns about Locklear's swing. A RH bat doing that in ARK seems promising. What am I missing? It has to do with the path of the barrel through the hitting zone. Most major league hitters are trying to lengthen that path by moving backwards in the load phase. Here's an...

I think this is the longest to start a season without a homer for him! He can keep coasting on his talent and maybe even get a HOF career out o...

Passan on the topic, guess the pitch clock is an issue https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/39900377/mlb-pitching-injuries-tommy-john-issue-shane-bieber-spencer-strider-eury-perez That wasn't really the point of the article.

JK went 3 for 4 today with a double and two singles. I suspect this is the beginning of a strong year for him, but it's still quite early so we'll see. I hope it is though.
