This week on Hacks & Jacks, Scott and Brett talk through news and notes from around the league, hitters who have climbed Scott's ranks and those who have fallen in the list as well. One of the most notable risers this week is Boston Red Sox second baseman Ceddanne Rafaela, who has propelled the Sox offense with an aggressive approach, alongside a combination of power and speed that many dreamed of but few saw coming in this extreme. Meanwhile, fantasy managers of Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. are stuck holding the bag on their first round pick. You can't trade him. You can't cut him. You just have to be sad that he isn't doing the things he used to. All that and more in this episode of Hacks & Jacks.

This week on Hacks & Jacks, Scott and Brett talk through news and notes from around the league, hitters who have climbed Scott's ranks and those who have fallen in the list as well. The top tier of the list has been reserved for just two names for the majority of the past two seasons: Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge. Now, with Judge on the IL, and a couple of superstars breaking out, that tier has expanded. James Wood and Yordan Alvarez have jumped aboard and show no sign of going away! The guys talk about some bats that are still hovering around the top-50 in player rater rankings but have been downright bad the past two months.

Mitch Keller lasted just three innings against the Atlanta Braves as his season-long struggles against left-handed hitters continued. Alex Stumpf examines Keller's extreme platoon splits, the mechanical issues potentially affecting his arsenal and why neither the cutter nor changeup has provided a reliable answer. Can Keller make the necessary adjustments during the All-Star break, or has his decline become another major problem for the Pirates' pitching staff?

Before focusing on the Draft, the guys dig into the new "market corrections" for the Top 100 Prospects list, highlighting big jumpers like the Rays' Theo Gillen and the Dodgers' Mike Sirota. This week's installment of analyzing a Draft demographic looks at the college bats, starting of course with UCLA's Roch Cholowsky, and includes a conversation with one of those hitters, Alabama's Justin Lebron.

The MLB Draft Combine takes center stage and serves as a backdrop for a discussion of the top prep position players on the latest Pipeline Podcast. Jim Callis, Jonathan Mayo and Jason Ratliff talk about which players stood out most on the first day of Combine workouts, including UCLA first baseman Mulivai Levu and Rocco Maniscalco. That leads to talk of the high school bat class, including whether Grady Emerson is the top prospect in the entire Draft, and an interview with another talented prep shortstop in Jacob Lombard. If that's not enough, Jim and Jonathan do a joint mock draft where they project each club's top selection before fielding a listener mailbag question about Phillies right-hander Gage Wood.

It's a stacked sports day at the Korner Booth Podcast! New York City came to a standstill as the Knicks celebrated their first NBA championship in 53 years with a massive ticker-tape parade. An estimated 2 million fans lined Broadway from Battery Park to City Hall, where Finals MVP Jalen Brunson was serenaded with chants, and Mayor Zohran Mamdani presented the team with the Keys to the City. The parade closed out a Finals run that saw the Knicks beat the Spurs in five games behind one of the best title-stage performances in recent memory from Brunson, capping a Finals series that averaged more than 20 million viewers, the most-watched NBA postseason since 1998. We break down the best moments from the celebration, Brunson's incredible run, and what this title means for a Knicks fanbase that's waited over half a century for this moment. Then we head to the gridiron for the 2026 UFL United Bowl, where the Louisville Kings pulled off one of the most remarkable championship runs in recent sports history. In their first-ever season as a franchise, the Kings knocked off the defending champion DC Defenders 27-20 at Audi Field, completing a perfect season sweep of DC. Running back Ian Wheeler was named United Bowl MVP after rushing for 81 yards and the go-ahead touchdown, while Louisville's defense forced a key fumble and held the Defenders to just four points in the second half. The win is even sweeter considering the Kings started the season 0-3 before rattling off a championship-or-bust turnaround. We break down how a brand-new franchise pulled off the title run in year one. We're also bringing you a Week 2 update from the 2026 FIFA World Cup, brought to you by Belly Up Sports' "Summer of Soccer." Group play has delivered drama all over North America with co-host Canada thrashing Qatar 6-0 to take control of Group B, while Switzerland bounced back from a slow start with a dominant win of their own. In Group A, Mexico sits perfect through two matches as the co-hosts push for a deep run, while South Africa and Czechia battled to a dramatic late draw. Elsewhere, the US continues group play against Australia, and Brazil looks to stay unbeaten against Haiti. We run through the standings, the biggest storylines, and which teams are trending toward the knockout rounds as the group stage heats up. And finally, breaking news out of MLB: the Home Run Derby is getting a major facelift for 2026. After a decade of using a pitch clock, MLB is scrapping the timer and going back to an outs-based, swing-driven format at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. Hitters will get 20 swings in Round 1 and 15 in each of the final two rounds, with any home run on a hitter's final swing earning them another swing, meaning a hot streak can keep the round alive indefinitely. The move comes after players like Bryce Harper raised concerns about fatigue and injury risk under the old timed format. We get into what the new rules mean for this year's Derby and which sluggers stand to benefit most. #Knicks #NBAFinals #NBAChampions #JalenBrunson #CanyonOfHeroes #UFL #LouisvilleKings #UnitedBowl #DCDefenders #FIFAWorldCup2026 #WorldCup2026 #BellyUpSports #SummerOfSoccer #MLB #HomeRunDerby #Phillies #NYKnicks #SportsNews #KornerBoothPodcast
This week on Hacks & Jacks, Scott and Brett talk through news and notes from around the league, hitters who have climbed Scott's ranks and those who have fallen in the list as well. Remember the Vargas Rule of yesteryear? "It's a rule that's applied when a pitcher who is historically not so great is performing at a high level we didn't expect. You keep starting him until he gives us a reason not to, inspired by Jason Vargas‘ ridiculous start to the 2017 season." Welp, now it applies to hitters, and it's named after Miguel Vargas. He's climbed his way to being a top-20 hitter in Scott's ranks, and he hasn't given us a reason NOT to leave him there. Scott talks about NL Central sluggers Alec Burleson and Seiya Suzuki and touches on one of the trending rookie bats in Colorado – do we stream Cole Carrigg? On the flip side, the pair laments their disappointment in big-name middle infielders, Trea Turner and Nico Hoerner. All that and more in this episode of Hacks & Jacks!

The same weekend, two of the most impressive pitching performances of the year — one from a junior at Georgia, one from a second-year Brewer. Joey Volchko punched out 15 over a complete game against Texas in the CWS opener. Jacob Misiorowski punched out 15 over a complete game against the Phillies on 95 pitches. Same number. Different level. Same underlying story about what good pitching development actually looks like.This BDH walks through both case studies in detail.Volchko in Athens — a high-upside Stanford transfer who'd been told for years to throw a four-seamer he couldn't throw. Georgia and Coach Wes Johnson got him in the lab, saw the natural cut, threw out the four-seam, made the cutter the number one, reframed the slider as a harder bullet, added a sweeper, then layered in a seam-shifted-wake sinker in the fall. They didn't change the athlete. They identified what he did best and built the repertoire around it. Result: a 15-K complete game on the biggest stage of his career, and a first-round draft profile.Misiorowski in Milwaukee — a high-walk minor leaguer two years ago, now a 105-in-the-tank big league starter throwing 95-pitch complete-game shutouts. The conversation reframes the cleanest line in modern pitching development: there is a difference between control (throwing strikes) and command (throwing strikes that play). Miz's in-zone rate is actually down. His first-pitch strike rate is up 8 points. Hitters are giving him more of the zone because they have to. The Brewers' system is the cleanest pitching development organization in baseball right now, and Misiorowski's arc is the proof.The back half opens up to the broader landscape:The Trey Turner slump — the leg-kick mechanics that have him stuck in 50/50, and why the breaking-ball whiff distance is the metric that confirms itYordan Alvarez as the actual best hitter in baseball — "Juan Soto things at Aaron Judge's size"The Aaron Judge shelf situationThe mid-season baseball tightening and the banana-peel outfield routes that came with itChristopher Sanchez's slider — average shape, elite value, because of the repertoire it lives insideA closing argument that we're watching the best baseball that's ever been playedThe throughline:The best pitching development at every level looks the same — don't fit guys into a box, find what they do best, and build the repertoire around it. Wes Johnson does it in Athens. The Brewers do it in Milwaukee. Different methods, same philosophy. This episode is the cleanest articulation of that idea Trevor and Dan have done on the pod.00:00 Intro · CWS Weekend, Two 15-K Games 01:30 Joey Volchko · 15K vs Texas in Athens 04:00 The Georgia · Wes Johnson Pitching Lab 07:30 Don't Fit Pitchers Into a Box · The Individual Build 11:30 The Four-Seam, the Cutter, the Sinker · Repertoire Construction 15:30 The 48/37 Pitch Mix · When Off-Speed Is the Fastball19:30 Beyond Nasty Stuff · The Next Layer of Pitching Development 24:30 Misiorowski · 15K vs the Phillies on 95 Pitches 28:00 Control vs Command · The Real Distinction 32:30 The Brewers as the Banner Pitching Development Org36:00 The Regression-Proof Fastball 40:00 Trey Turner · The Leg Kick and the 50/50 46:00 Aaron Judge on the Shelf · The Best Hitter Conversation49:00 Yordan Alvarez · Juan Soto Things at Aaron Judge's Size53:30 The Tightened Ball · Banana-Peel Outfield Routes 58:00 Christopher Sanchez's Slider · Why Repertoire Beats Pitch Grade1:02:00 Closing · The Best Baseball That's Ever Been Played
Send us Fan MailShohei Ohtani is on his way to his 5th MVP (in six seasons). He has the lowest ERA and highest OPS+ in the NL - not even HOFer Babe Ruth did that in the same season! We talk about the rash of injuries to stars including Jose Ramirez, Ronald Acuna Jr., and Spencer Strider. Jacob Misiorowski pitched a game for the ages and Mark tells you why when it comes to pitcher game score. Ground balls are more deadly to hitters today as hitting the ball in the air means everything! Gordon tells you what that's all about. Thanks again to Mercury Maid for the Intro & Outro music.
