Moose is back for another Diggin' Weekly with Hoz, Pete and Chuck!Whit Merrifield was hit in the head the other night with a fastball and had some words about the state of pitching in the league today. Specifically, he said "they don't care where they throw the ball anymore." Because the process of getting to the big leagues is so focused on velocity and measurables, its led to some pitchers having no control. What can be done to ensure the safety of hitters moving forward?Ohtani is chasing history yet again, this time for a 50/50 season, and we're stoked to finally get to see Shohei in the playoffs. Moose takes us behind the scenes of playing with him, and specifically Ohtani hitting a ball 108 mph off a tee. As we enter the final month of the season, there remains no clear favorite in the AL or NL pennant races. The Yankees have bullpen problems and the Orioles have been sputtering. The Brewers and Padres have played well to keep pace, but can they make deep runs?
