Lawrence Butler (OF - OAK)
9/19/24 1:01 PM -
[Last Word on Sports] - Athletics Breakout Player Makes Case for Future Stardom. 's remarkable 2024 campaign has catapulted him to breakout status, solidifying his position as one of the season's most pleasant surprises. As the Oakland Athletics' season draws to a close, Butler has caught fire once again, delivering a scorching September performance with a 156 wRC+ - a top 30 mark among qualified hitters. A closer examination of Butler's profile reveals a promising young hitter with an enticing blend of skills. He consistently demonstrates a strong barrel rate and hard-hit ability, complemented by an above-average swinging strike rate and speed. These impressive traits, among others, for sustained success and make him an exciting prospect to watch. September Changes for Lawrence Butler In addition to continuing to make consistently hard contact with a 47.8 HardHit%, there has been a noticeable adjustment on a pitch level basis. Here are some distinct differences observed in September versus his numbers up until that point: Statistic Start of Season - August September O-Swing% 29.2% 37.6% Z-Swing% 70.0% 70.9% Swing% 46.2% 50.9% Contact% 75.6% 78.6% SwingingStrike% 11.3% 10.9% There is a more aggressive approach overall with all of his swing metrics increasing in September. Along with that, he is making more overall contact and swinging and missing less. This is all occurring while not making a substantial sacrifice in quality of contact and the results have been fantastic. Furthermore, a notable improvement for Butler in September has been his improvement in 2 strike counts. In September, he has a 127 wRC+ in all 2 strike counts compared to a 78 wRC+ for the season in these situations. Many hitters have shown the proclivity to shorten up and decrease bat speed to make contact with their 2 strike approach. So far, Butler has not conformed to that standard thought. His bat speed in all count situations for September is 72.49 MPH and a swing length of 6.96 feet. Butler's changes in 2 strike counts are negligible with his bat speed at 72.39 MPH and swing length at 6.89 feet. The results are tough to argue with, although it will be interesting to see how this plays out over a larger sample and how the adjustments will be made from the pitcher's side. Lawrence Butler is batting .324 (11-for-34) with two-strikes this month (13 games), 4th best in AL; League Avg: .178. — Inside Edge (@IE_MLB) Butler's Platoon Splits Being a left-handed hitter, there are always concerns with how they handle same-handed pitching. There are many examples of quality hitters whose full potential is ultimately capped by not being a full-time player due to their inability to hit same-handed pitching. In the case of Butler, we can start to see some possible blemishes in this regard. For the season, Butler has faced 337 right-handed pitchers compared to only 80 left-handed pitchers. This indicates that the A's want to protect him against same-handed pitching early in his career. However, he has performed admirably against both handedness of pitcher. He is slashing .286/.313/.545 versus left-handed pitchers versus .264/.326/.505 versus right-handed pitching. While it takes a much larger sample size , Butler has clearly shown the capability to not only handle same-handed pitching but be almost as productive as he is against right-handed pitching. Some approach differences can be picked up on versus different pitcher handedness. Although Butler takes walks at a slightly below-average rate overall, that number significantly decreases against left-handed pitching. B utler struggles with patience, walking just 3.8 percent of the time against same-handed pitchers, and also hits the ball on the ground 60.7 percent of the time. So, even with the surface-level numbers looking very good, there are still some elements to clean up. Notably, Butler's strikeout rate remains manageable at 26.3 percent, despite his ground-ball-heavy approach and limited walks. Conclusion Butler has been one of the best hitters in baseball in the second half of the season. He has the seventh-best wRC+ among hitters with at least 200 plate appearances post-All-Star Break. Butler only trailing some of the marquee names in the sport. Butler's breakout stretch makes him one of the most thrilling young players, boasting elite power-contact balance alongside just seven other players.

Red Sox Projected $90 Million Slugger Predicted To Win Surprising Award By Insider. The Boston Red Sox made some shrewd trades before the 2024 season, and none have worked out better than the one they made with the St. Louis Cardinals. On Dec. 8, the Red Sox sent pitchers Nick Robertson and Victor Santos to the St. Louis Cardinals for outfielder Tyler O'Neill. O'Neill had a track record of success at the big-league level but with too many outfielders on their roster, the Cardinals felt they had to cut him loose headed into a contract year. Since then, O'Neill has been one of the catalysts of the Red Sox's offense, leading the team in home runs and coming through in several clutch situations.

Cubs 'top target' should be projected $200 million star, per insider. A pair of major contracts handed out before the season haven't paid off for the Chicago Cubs. The team re-signed Cody Bellinger to a three-year, $80 million deal and gave manager Craig Counsell $40 million, but now sit on the brink of playoff elimination. Reflecting on the offseason decisions facing Cubs' president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer, FanSided's Robert Murray named Corbin Burnes, likely to be the most expensive pitcher on the market, as the team's number-one priority. “Burnes, however, should be the Cubs' top target this offseason,” Murray wrote.

Dodgers Injury Update: Clayton Kershaw Takes 'A Big Step' In Rehab. Clayton Kershaw was pitching well for the Los Angeles Dodgers before landing on the 15-day injured list due to a bone spur in his left big toe. Kershaw made just seven starts prior to the toe injury after he also spent the majority of the season recovering from left shoulder surgery he underwent in the offseason. Kershaw has been throwing off a makeshift mound and trying to find ways to limit the pain in his toe. This one lasted approximately 80 pitches – more than double the length of most bullpen sessions – and was “pretty encouraging,” Roberts said.

[NBC Sports Bay Area] - How Miller made Oakland A's history with save vs. Cubs. Star made history in Oakland’s 5-3 win over the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday at Wrigley Field. Miller became Oakland’s all-time rookie saves leader after eliciting a game-ending double play off the bat of Chicago’s Pete Crow-Armstrong with a 93-mph changeup. “It’s special, yeah,” Miller told reporters postgame. “Just trying to get to the next one, each time. Now, you get an opportunity to kind of look back on the year and the success I had. It’s a special moment I’m appreciating.” The most saves by a rookie in Oakland history belongs to Mason Miller ?? — Oakland A's (@Athletics) It was Miller’s 27th save and 15th on the road during the 2024 MLB season. The 26-year-old righty surpassed A’s icons and . Street recorded 23 saves in 2005 and Bailey notched 26 in 2009. The two former A’s closers won AL Rookie of the Year for their respective save-heavy campaigns before eventually retiring as two-time MLB All-Stars. Miller, also an admirer of legendary Oakland native and , is respectful of those who paved the way for him to shut down games for the East Bay. “They had long, successful big-league careers — some Hall of Fame careers,” Miller said about Street, Bailey and Eckersley. “And I could only hope to continue to keep up with the pace that they set. [I’ll] just come into next year with the same mentality, same hunger; keep putting us in positions to get in the dugout with a win.” Miller now has a 2.37 ERA and 96 strikeouts over 60 2/3 innings pitched. He also improved his WAR to 2.4 and WHIP to 0.86. The first-time All-Star has been integral to the 67-86 A’s second-half turnaround. Oakland is 30-25 since July 19 and has been an all-around dynamic team across that span, which isn’t too shabby for the by roughly $23 million. Rising and staples like Brent Rooker have jolted the A’s lineup thanks to plenty of stats and streaks. Miller, meanwhile, has held the bullpen down for the last 55 games. He has collected 26 strikeouts and 12 saves in 18 appearances, owning a 2.57 ERA in the span. “One hundred percent, finish strong,” Miller said about having nine games left this season. “We’ve played really, really well pretty much the entire second half. Outside of probably a seven-week skid after we started 17-17, I think we’ve had a really successful year — especially taking a big step forward from the last. “Now, the expectation just gets higher and higher. We know the talent we have [and] the success that we’re capable of. And I think we’re turning heads with the way we’re playing this second half. It’s a testament to the work that each guy in the clubhouse has put in.” Miller missed most of the 2023 season with a right UCL sprain. The A’s missed him, as they finished the past campaign an MLB-worst 50-112. Oakland’s new rookie saves leader knows the team is nowhere near where it wants to be. But, as Miller said, that’s not to say the A’s aren’t capable. The noise of the franchise’s has loomed over Miller and his teammates for much of the year. It won’t be going away, either, as the A’s will finish their 57th and final season as Oakland Coliseum residents on Sept. 26 against East Bay great Marcus Semien and the Texas Rangers. However, Miller has found a way to strictly focus on his craft and the A’s on-field goals for future seasons, revealing the blueprint for the team’s success in 2025. “Consistency across the board,” Miller said. “Putting together a solid effort all sides of the ball. … It’s across the board, just putting the effort in on all sides of the ball and being able to show up with that mentality and effort every day.” The A’s haven’t made the playoffs since the coronavirus-shortened 2020 season when they lost to the and Oakland — the city — indefinitely won’t be back. Miller, though, appears to be the franchise cornerstone who can help the A’s dance again. General manager David Forst’s somewhat surprising retention of Miller at the 2024 MLB trade deadline proves the team believes it, one could imagine — but things can change. Wednesday’s game cemented one thing for sure: Miller is Oakland’s last great, historic closer.

Red Sox righty Chris Martin said last July that he plans to pitch for as long as a team wants him. “I'm going to play for as long as they let me — as long as I can still do it,” Martin said. “To be 100% honest, I think next year will be my last year,” Martin said. The Red Sox setup man, who turned 38 on June 2, plans to pitch in 2025 but he said he's 95% sure that will be it for him.

The team snapped a four-game losing streak in the series opener on Tuesday with a dominant 10-0 performance against the slumping O's to move the Giants record to 73-78, five games within .500. San Francisco will turn to rookie starter Hayden Birdsong (3-5, 4.74) on the mound Wednesday.

Padres Pitcher Extends Astonishing Modern-Era MLB Record. San Diego Padres ace Yu Darvish might have been sidelined for much of the season due to injuries and a personal matter, but it would be remiss to forget how dominant Darvish is. Since returning to the Padres on Sep. 4, Darvish pitched his best start yet on Monday. During Monday's 3-1 win over the Houston Astros, Darvish pitched six innings for the first time since his return. Perhaps the best stat to sum up what has made Darvish special as a pitcher is that he has recorded multiple strikeouts in every each of his MLB appearances — a remarkable 280 games since his debut with the Texas Rangers in April 2012.

Luisangel Acuña's huge game for the Mets hurts older brother's team, the Braves, in NL playoff race. Luisangel Acuña has subbed so nicely for the New York Mets already that his brother’s team is in growing danger of missing the postseason. Replacing an ailing Francisco Lindor at shortstop, Acuña capped a huge night at the plate with his first career home run to help the Mets beat the Washington Nationals 10-1 on Tuesday. The 22-year-old Acuña, a younger sibling of Atlanta Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr., finished a triple short of the cycle and scored three times in his fourth major league game. New York’s victory coupled with Atlanta’s 6-5 loss in Cincinnati left the Braves two games out of a playoff spot with 11 to play. The Mets and Diamondbacks are tied for the second of three National League wild cards at 83-68.

9/18/24 12:20 PM -
AP PHOTOS: Ohtani chases historic 50-50 club in home runs and stolen bases.
Shohei Ohtani is getting closer to making himself the sole member of an exclusive club.
He's already the sixth player in major league history and the fastest ever to reach 40 home runs and 40 stolen bases, needing just 126 games.
He’s the only player to hit the 40-40 mark in the same game. He did it in style, too, on a game-winning grand slam with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning on Aug. 23.
“He’s very goal-oriented,” Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “He likes to take down records.”
On the horizon for Ohtani is potentially becoming the first member of the 50-50 club.
He blasted his 48th homer on Tuesday and has 48 stolen bases with less than two weeks remaining in the regular season.
Ohtani signed a $700 million, 10-year deal with the Dodgers last December. The two-way Japanese superstar hasn’t pitched this season — his first with the Dodgers after six years with the Los Angeles Angels — as he rehabilitates after surgery for an injured elbow ligament that he had a year ago. That has allowed Ohtani to focus on his hitting.
Los Angeles leads the National League West and will be headed to the postseason in October, which will be another first for Ohtani. He didn’t reach the postseason with the Angels, and they never had a winning record during his tenure in Anaheim.

"I just feel like I'm getting my shot now and I'm trying to make the most of it," Francis said.

Baltimore Orioles Outfielder Receives Strong Rookie Grade. The Baltimore Orioles are limping into the playoffs, as they haven't played very well in quite some time now. With October right around the corner, the Orioles should still be a playoff team, but the franchise can't have too much confidence that they are going to make any noise in the playoffs as of now. While it isn't overly shocking that the pitching staff outside of Corbin Burnes and Zach Eflin has struggled for the most part, it is surprising to see that the lineup has not done well in the second half of the season. Baltimore's lineup is filled with young and talented players, and while they were regarded as one of the best lineups in baseball for most of the season, that hasn't been the case of late.

Elite Reliever Predicted To Land With New Team Could Be Philadelphia Phillies Target. If the Philadelphia Phillies were to lose any of their pending free agents this winter, this season will likely be their best opportunity to win a World Series. Two players who hit the open market and fit that description are Jeff Hoffman and Carlos Estevez. Hoffman and Estevez are clearly the two best right-handed relievers in the Phillies bullpen, so losing both of them in the same offseason would be a major blow. If that were to happen, Philadelphia would have to get creative in replacing them.

Chicago Cubs Skipper Says Star Pitcher Has 'Passed Every Test'. Coming into the year, the Chicago Cubs were extremely happy when they landed Japanese international free agent Shota Imanaga after missing out on phenom Yoshinobu Yamamoto. The left-hander was one of the best pitchers in Nippon Professional Baseball, making him a desired player on the open market. Perhaps if he had been the sole Japanese pitcher coming over, he would have been at the top of target boards by multiple teams around the league. Instead, he largely went under the radar, landing with the Cubs on a four-year, $53 million contract that paled in comparison to the 12-year, $325 million deal his countryman Yamamoto signed.
