Cade Horton. Wow, has he been good this year. Numbers say he’s been one of the best pitchers in the entire sport. He has been unbelievable. He just continues to get stronger. Strike three. Swing and a miss. And he struck him out. He was dialed tonight. Kate Horton has been absolutely outstanding. Swing and a miss. Strike three. In there. Got him. You go to the All-Star break. No one’s better than Kate Horton. Dare at the knees. Struck him out. When you’re on the board with guys in black and white, you’re doing something special. Drake Baldwin. What a rookie season he’s had. Drake Baldwin is doing it right now. A great left-handed hitting catcher. There’s the first big league home run for Drake Baldwin. The Braves have the lead. The rookie Baldwin delivers. Another clutch hit to add to his rookie of the year resume. You can’t deny what Drake Baldwin’s done. Oh, great throw. Shot out of a cannon. Is it a two homer? It is. That rookie of the year resume is getting more and more impressive. Caleb Durban. He makes plays defensively. Caught by Durban at third. Runs the bases. Great. Diving head first into second as Durban puts the ball in play. Bye-bye baseball. He defines to me what the Brewers are all about. Boy, Caleb Durban sticking with that play. Caleb Durban knocks one out of here. Ball game over. Durban does it again. Durban, who’s making a strong case for rookie of the year right now with this finish. This is one of the best hitters in the game for the foreseeable future. Good night. That was an absolute blow. Oh, diving play by Curts to his right. How about that? Curts. Curts. Curts. And Kurts makes the catch for the out. What a magical night for the big Amish. Smooth as butter, baby. exclamation point on the rookie campaign. You’re seeing something that hasn’t happened in almost 100 years. Roman Anthony, he changed the way the Boston Red Sox lineup looked. Roman Anthony first major league homer. Roman Anthony has been unbelievable for this Boston Red Sox team. Dive and make the play. What a grab. This night has belonged to number 19. No doubter from Roman Anthony. the next Red Sox superstar. The city’s already fallen in love with him. Roman Reigns supreme. How about this guy? Jacob Wilson is the number one rookie in the American League. Jacob Wilson. How about your first career home? The Savior in Sacramento. Will he walk off strikes again? Can we just give Jacob Wilson the ale rookie of the year award? Jay Willie the magician. Two two-run homers for the kid. Pure backto- ball skills. You throw it, he’ll hit it. Bam. Jacob Wilson. Jay Willie with the wall up. It’d be hard for me to believe Jacob Wilson doesn’t take this home. Yoshino Yamamoto. He’s going to get Sai Young vote this year. He has been so good. Strike three. Swinging. Yoshobu Yamamoto. It could be the curve. It could be the splitter. Swing on in there. Strike three. Can you believe this? Strike out number 10 for Yoshobu Yamamoto. He’s one of the best at keeping it on the edge of the zone. Each pitch is with a purpose and with efficiency. called strike three. 10 strikeouts in five innings. Elite command with plus+ stuff. Top five pitcher in the game. Christopher Sanchez. He is so consistently good. Like he always seems to give the Phillies a chance. Swag and a miss. He got him. A dozen strikeouts and a complete game for Christopher Sanchez. He has turned himself into an ace. Swing and a miss. Strike out number 200. Swing and a miss. He struck him out. What a dazzling night for Christopher Sanchez. Christopher Sanchez has just flown under the radar. This dude is nasty. Christopher Sanchez, that’s what they’re going to call him. When you’re watching this guy, you’re watching a young Nolan Ryan, young Roger Clemens. One, two, three for Paul. He’s the ultimate spoiler. Swing and a miss. I mean, what do you say? We’re used to this every five to six days. This is the best arm I’ve seen the last 25 years. Swing and a miss. Struck him out. 200 strikeouts for Paul Ski. Another dominant year finishing with a 197 RA. Six shutout innings. Seven shutout innings. Best pitcher in the game of baseball. Big 58 Hunter Brown doing his thing. Arguably one of the best pitchers in the game right now. Look, and he got it. Strike three. 24 consecutive shut out innings. The diesel is mowing down everything in his way. He looked like a dominant ace. Give him 12. A dozen strikeouts for Hunter Brown. He is dealing right now. That is strikeout number 200 for the first time in his career. You want this big Texas gunslinger? That’s what this guy is. Garrett Crochet delivering in a big way for the Boston Red Sox. This is a legit ace. Oh, baby. Crochet with an enormous strike out. He has acclimated himself to be the face of that rotation. Garrick Crochet has thrown a complete game. He strikes out the side in the seventh and continues to dominate the Yankees. What an exclamation point for the Red Sox ace. Going to be hard to not vote for Crochet. Scoo has been the guy. Resumptive backto back American League Sai Young swing and a miss. Strike three. 11 12 13th strikeout for TK Scubble. Bottom line, give TKO the ball. 103. He rings up the radar gun. He’s just a guy that lays everything out on the field. He’s built for the moment. Scooble is cooking right now. Sheer dominance from Scooble. He is well on his way to getting another Sai Young. If I’m a Mets fan and I told you that Juan Sodto would set careerh highs in home runs and stolen bases. You’d be like, I’ll take that season. It’s out of here. Added another aspect to his game. Sodto slides. He’s safe. This good job by Sodto. And when you’re talking about a complete hitter like Juan Sodto, he can always turn it on at any given time. And that’s what separates him. Juan Sodto with a monstrous blast on a nightly basis. Top three hitter in the game. Dominates the batters box. Juan Sodto in all his glory. Just phenomenal. Kyle Schwarber’s turned himself into one of the best hitters in the game. Kyle Schwarber with a tape measure shot. There’s no park that can hold this guy. Kyle Schwarber has done it again. When Schwarber comes up with a game online, you feel like something’s going to happen. Grand slam Kyle Schwarber. This guy is a special player. It’s his fourth home run of the night. Schwarber has just hit his 50th home run of the season. Potential MVP candidate. It has been a season to remember. Oh, Tommy inevitable. I mean, this guy’s hitting balls to parts unknown. Could be the greatest baseball player of all time. Five no hit innings on the mound and a skyscraping home run. There’s nobody like him. The game’s greatest star. Season high nine strikeouts for Otani. This guy’s a perennial MVP. This is indeed the show that never ends. He’s one of the greatest players in Cleveland baseball history. High deep to right center. He’s out of room. He’s out of here. You pitch to him. You ought to have your head examined. Jose Ramirez with a three homer game. Mr. Inevitable. And who else but number 11. A 3030 campaign for Jos Ramirez. Once again, it’ll be time to celebrate the MVPs and he needs to be in that three. Got to give a lot of love to Kyle Riley. He’s a walking talking history book. The magical season continues for Cal Raleigh. Caught 1,079 innings. It’s the most in the American League. A huge throw from Cal Raleigh. Well, they got him. He’s involved in everything. Nixon bruises, 60 bombs. It may never stop. The year of Cal Raleigh. He’s the player of the year. A season baseball has never seen before. Aaron Judge is the greatest, most prolific home run hitter in baseball. Trap, wall. See youa. Can’t stop. won’t stop. I think he is going to make a case to be the best right-handed hitter ever. Three home run day for Aaron Judge. Judge does what Aaron Judge does against everybody. He belongs in a different league than everybody else. He’s in fourth place all time on the Yankee franchise home run list. He carries this team. It goes through him and him alone. [Applause]
