His hard hit rate is 59%. His EV, or average velocity is 95.8 mph. This is for his career, and is going up every year.

Before you say he's a flash in the pan, consider that he JUST turned 24. Cards likely brought him up a year early.

For comparison, his EV of 95.8 compares to Ohtani's 93.8.

Cards are fun to watch..a good, young team on pace to win 98 games. The "experts" said 66 wins, prior to the start of the season.

Last night's game with the dodgers, the idiot announcers were such pro Dodgers that I considered turning off the sound. I would LOVE to see three in a row.

For funsies, I looked at Judge's EV for his career, and it's identical to Jordan Walkers, for HIS career, at 95.8. He hits the ball, HARD. ]]> Talk Sports dsvitak https://forums.ootpdevelopments.com//showthread.php?t=369547 https://forums.ootpdevelopments.com//showthread.php?t=369489&goto=newpost Thu, 30 Apr 2026 22:09:40 GMT There are two teams in the AL Central who are exactly .500 and there is one team in the NL Central who is exactly .500.

Mendoza at #1 to Vegas, and a sweet $55M.

Ty Simpson second QB taken, heir apparent to Stafford.

I looked at the remaining ranking of available QB's, and was amused to see Diego at #13 left, overall ranking #272, and with a 43 rating.
