"Well this will be my last news and links piece of the 2025 regular season and while it's been a frustrating one, there have still been plenty of fun things to watch. Drake Baldwin has been the best rookie in the NL and has had a really impressive season for a rookie catcher, complicating the future of the franchise at the position, but adding another core player to a still great position-player group."
"Spencer Schwellenbach further solidified himself as a top young pitcher in MLB. Hurston Waldrep reinvented himself to be a viable MLB starter with upside. Ronald Acuna returned to baseball and did a lot of cool Ronald Acuna things. Matt Olson was the best first baseman in baseball. Joey Wentz returned to Atlanta and was a playable back-end starter for a couple months, adding some promise to his journeyman career."
"Jurickson Profar got suspended, but looked like a good offensive player on his return. It's important to enjoy and appreciate the fun things in sports, even when things don't go the way we wish as fans. The Braves lost 3-1 to the Pirates, despite Drake Baldwin's triple and double, further helping their draft position. The Mets placed Brett Baty on the 10-day IL, as they need both a win and a Reds' loss on Sunday to make the playoffs."
