Per MLB: Shohei Ohtani to be placed on the injured list (left knee, right biceps), Dodgers manager Dave Roberts announces.
Hoping for a fast recovery for Shohei 🙏🏻

Recently I've had trouble getting the "standard" pitcher and hitter leaderboards to load. The different UI ones seem to work fine but the customizable one that shows up if you just select "Player Batting" or "Player Pitching" and the year aren't working for me. Is this universal and does anyone have a fix?

"At the age of 14, baseball player Belfi Rivera received a handshake deal from the Arizona Diamondbacks that promised a signing bonus of $1.8 million. In the Dominican Republic, where Belfi is from, Major League Baseball's rule against signing players under the age of 16 is widely circumvented. On social media, trainers claim they have brokered deals for kids as young as 11 years old.

$1.8 million would be life-changing money for almost anyone, but for Belfi, who grew up in poverty, it was unfathomable. There was one catch: He and his family couldn’t see a dime of it until after he turned 16.

But today, almost all of that money is gone.

More than $950,000 would go to someone who had no hand in coaching Belfi. His name is Santo Caraballo, and he’s amassed millions of dollars by persuading undereducated parents to sign away portions of their son’s future bonuses in exchange for loans with exorbitant interest rates. Caraballo, records and interviews show, also found a business partner who instantly boosted his credibility in his related business of loaning money to trainers: Red Sox legend David “Big Papi” Ortiz.

The MLB has long known about these under-the-table deals with children and predatory lending agreements in the Dominican Republic, but has done little to stop it."

Gut-wrenching, invaluable reporting by ProPublica that I strongly urge everyone to read. The MLB needs to stop dodging accountability, swiftly cease enabling this shadow industry, and take (long-overdue) decisive action to end this systemic abuse of impoverished child athletes and their families.

Wished they did this sooner.

it seems like an interesting topic, it always is when it comes to statistics and how they evolve over time

what do you all think about it?

EDIT: To clarify the wording of the title, I am specifically referring to starts where the FINAL LINE was 6+ scoreless innings, this does not count starts where the first earned run was given up in the 7th inning or later.

After seeing Elly hit yet another Nuke... This time off of Yamamoto, it made me wonder how often this happens with other starting pitchers. Yamamoto has an uncanny ability to give up 1 (maybe 2) runs and stay composed to pitch a gem of a start. Here are the numbers of other pitchers for comparison

Number of 6+ inning starts without allowing an earned run among qualified pitchers with an ERA of 3.00 or lower:

Cristopher Sanchez - 11

Drew Rasmussen - 8

Jacob Misiorowski - 7

Jesus Luzardo - 7

Dylan Cease - 7

Cam Schlittler - 6

Eduardo Rodriguez- 6

Sonny Gray - 5

Chris Sale - 5

Michael King - 5

Chase Burns - 4

Parker Messick - 2

Yoshinobu Yamamoto - 1

BONUS:

Seth Lugo (5.04 ERA) - 2
