This is getting absurd. Matthews averaged 97.5 mph and topped out at 99.5 mph in this one as he continues to sustain his recent velocity uptick. The 24-year-old top pitching prospect holds a microscopic 1.80 ERA and 20/2 K/BB ratio across 15 innings (three starts). The Twins are going to have to give him an opportunity in the near future because it doesn’t make sense to keep wasting innings at the Triple-A level.

With just a 1.8 percent chance of success, Dallas leaped up in the lottery to nab the top pick in the 2025 draft. A little over three months after GM Nico Harrison traded away Luka Doncic, the Mavs will have a new young superstar to build around. Cooper Flagg is the expected top pick, and he will flawlessly fit Harrison’s mantra “defensive wins championships” that he has echoed tirelessly in every interview since trading Doncic. Assuming nothing changes, Flagg will join a loaded Dallas team that should be a contending team in the stacked Western Conference next season. San Antonio, Philadelphia and Charlotte round out the top four picks in a talented draft class.

Ramos was one of the few hitters who had any offensive success against Merrill Kelly in a game where the GIants were held to just one run by Kelly and the D-Backs’ bullpen. The three knocks ups his average to .290, and he’s been on fire in the month of May with a .400/.472/,800 slash over his 30 at-bats in that timeframe.
