Pete Alonso is on FIRE. His last 15 days: 18-for-55 (.327) w/ 6 HR, 19 RBI, 4 2B, 1.131 OPS!

The far and away best pitching matchup of Sunday is Cristopher Sanchez (3.15 ERA, 74 K) at PNC against Paul Skenes (2.05 ERA, 85 K)…majestic on paper.

Another HR today, Christian Encarnacion-Strand has now launched a bomb in all three of his games since returning to MLB! I’ve been waiting for this. Buy while you can…

Fascinating first frame for Liam Doyle. A whopping 6 throws over to first, slowed his pace a LOT. Was still up to 99 mph, and tossed a 0…I’m very curious about this.

Charles Davalan LEAN BACK. The Arkansas slugger was sitting dead red heater.

I’ve given him plenty of time. Bowden Francis has let me down this season…routed by MIN in 3.1 innings today, his season ERA is 6.12! Extremely disappointing.

Worst qualified SP ERAs as of today: - Jack Kochanowicz (5.61) - Brandon Pfaadt (5.51) - Kyle Hendricks (5.40) - JP Sears (5.21) - Kyle Freeland (5.19) - Zac Gallen (5.13) - Michael Lorenzen (5.12)

I liked the energy of Hunter Dobbins saying he’d retire before he signed with the Yankees…until Aaron Judge took him 436 ft. If you can’t take the heat, stay out of the kitchen.

Abraham Toro is the 1B the Red Sox have been looking for all along. Now hitting .333 (27-for-81) with 4 HR, 9 RBI, .901 OPS and doesn’t strike out a ton. Just…keep him away from 3B.

Haven’t seen tons of Bobby Witt Jr buzz this season. Probably because it’s his standard. 4th in fWAR (3.5), 8 HR, 126 wRC+, 21 SB, 12 OAA, .380 xwOBA…par for his course!

A’s Denzel Clarke has 6 OAA…in just 15 (!) games. That’s ridiculous. The 25 y/o unfortunately is rocking 28 strike outs in 49 at-bats, but his defense is top of the line.

It’s been a LONG time since I’ve written a blog. But I’m back…and this is what I think: theskippersview.com/p/5-mid-june-m…

Marcell Ozuna is looking for his SECOND straight title as the “longest avg HR trotter” in MLB. Ozuna leads (min 10 HR) with 31.42 avg seconds…Machado next at 28.99.

Pumped to see Eury Perez returning tonight! The Marlins’ 22 y/o has a career 3.15 ERA, 108 K over 91.1 innings (19 games)…the breaking ball is elite towering at 6’8”.

Monthly Kyle Tucker update — his OPS is .916. Alright…we’ll see you in July. Have a good one.

This is beginning to sound repetitive…but boots ARE indeed on the ground at Fenway Park for the Roman Anthony debut. I will be telling my grandkids about this.

Hardest hit balls of the day thus far: - Roman Anthony (111.2 mph) - Yandy Diaz (111.2) - Michael Harris II (108.2) - Jonatan Clase (108.1) - Johnathan Rodriguez (106.9) - Will Benson (106.7) - Tyler Stephenson (106.6)

First big test for Royals rookie Noah Cameron. The LHP has a 0.85 ERA (!) across his first 31.2 innings…he’ll face Aaron Judge and the Yankees tonight. At home!

Jake Bird will net a NICE deadline prospect. A 1.49 ERA, 45 K over 36.1 IP!

Go ahead and grab Jacob Misiorowski in your fantasy league if possible. 80 K across 63.1 frames with a 2.13 ERA in MiLB as a 23 y/o…FB is up to 103 mph. Stud.
