Thome Thursday: The Monster Shot

Ever wonder how far the longest home runs can go? On July 3, 1999, Jim Thome showed everyone exactly how far when he crushed a baseball 511 feet at Progressive Field (then called Jacobs Field). That's longer than one and a half football fields! The ball soared over the center field wall, beyond the bleachers in deep center, and took one hop on the concourse before leaving the ballpark entirely. The blast was so legendary that the Indians installed a special brass marker where the ball landed - a marker that's still there today, reminding fans of the day Thome hit what remains the longest home run in Cleveland baseball history. Most major leaguers are happy to hit a ball 400 feet. Thome hit one more than 500 feet. Just another day at the office for baseball's Mr. Incredible. Watch the historic blast with Tom Hamilton's call See the amazing drone flight showing the ball's path Enjoy this post? Never miss out on future posts by  following this blog .

Beyond the Guardians Prospect Spotlight: Dalton Rushing, Los Angeles Dodgers

Here's the next installment of a series highlighting non-Guardians prospects. These first appeared at Prospects1500.com . I got to do the write-up for the Dodgers #2 prospect. We're probably going to see this guy in the majors this year!  Dalton Rushing Rushing dominated the minors in 2024, posting a .271/.385/.512 line with 26 homers and 85 RBI across Double and Triple-A. His biggest assets are his plus power and above-average hit tool, complemented by impressive plate discipline. Though listed as a catcher, the Dodgers have been giving him reps in the outfield while he works on his defense behind the plate. Despite his 6’1”, 220-pound frame, he’s surprisingly athletic for his size. He’ll likely start 2025 in Triple-A but should get his shot in LA during the season. Dynasty owners should be excited about his power upside in that loaded Dodgers lineup. What do you think about Rushing? Let me know in the comments below. Enjoy this post?

Guardians' Crowded Right Field Picture: Spring Training 2025

The Guardians' right field situation took a probable yet unexpected turn this week. With top prospect Chase DeLauter , ranked #2 in the organization, sidelined 8-12 weeks following sports hernia surgery, the competition has opened up beyond just the obvious candidates. The returning duo of Will Brennan and Jhonkensy Noel remain the frontrunners, though Brennan comes off a disappointing 2024 where he posted a 98 wRC+ and struggled with a 33% strikeout rate in the postseason. Prospect  Johnathan Rodriguez , ranked #13 by MLB , brings intriguing power potential. With 58 home runs over the past two seasons (29 in each), he offers a promising profile for a team that hasn't had a 20-homer outfielder since 2014. But the competition doesn't end there. George Valera , once a top prospect who was designated for assignment in November before re-signing on a minor league deal, is getting another look after a solid Triple-A campaign. The Guardians are likely to explore other creative ...
