Jake Burger’s 23 consecutive pitches swung at in 2023 is the longest streak by a non-pitcher in the pitch-tracking era (2008)
only longer, by a pitcher: Jorge De La Rosa, 25 in a row from 7/10-8/26 in '08

On behalf of the Baseball Savant team, we'd like to wish our dear friend @SlangsOnSports a Happy Birthday!
Last year we debuted the Sarah Langs Birthday Index and this year we'd like to encourage everyone to donate to @ProjectALSorg in her name on her special day!
The baseball is going to be so, so good tomorrow:
Canada-Cuba: Elimination game, winner to the quarters, loser is out
Italy-Mexico: Two spots up for grabs, major tiebreaker chaos possible
Dominican Republic-Venezuela: The pool play game we’ve been waiting for
Hell yeah ⚾️🌎

With the Cubs forcing a Game 5, we now have 5 series that have gone the full distance this postseason
That ties 2020 and 2012 for the most in a single postseason
(And yes, there are more series these days, but 5 has been possible since ‘95 and in ‘81)
As if the 2025 Postseason wasn't crazy enough, this is the 2nd time in LCS history (since 1969) where both the AL and NL home teams started 0-2.
The other? 1970 when it was a Best of 5 series. The Orioles over the Twins and the Reds over the Pirates.
