Despite achieving an outstanding 1.58 ERA and surpassing 94 strikeouts in 91 innings, Nathan Eovaldi was not selected for the All-Star game but received a $100,000 bonus.

Josh Bell began the 2025 season poorly, hitting .151 with a .526 OPS in April, raising concerns about his performance as a free agent signing.

Chris Bassitt has consistently thrown on the edges of the strike zone, leading to a 3.86 xERA that suggests better results could be forthcoming despite his current numbers.

Logan Webb, Robbie Ray, and Randy Rodriguez were named All-Star reserves for the National League, marking the highest representation of pitchers from any team. Their combined ERA of 3.45 places them second in the league, showcasing a strong pitching performance. Webb ranks fifth among NL starters with an ERA of 2.62, while Ray follows closely at eighth with a 2.68 ERA. Rodriguez impresses with a remarkable .71 ERA, having allowed only 21 hits over 38 innings.

Their league-worst 395 walks last season played a significant role in their record 121 losses, illustrating the importance of on-base patience in baseball.

The Dodgers currently lead with 14 players on the injured list, marking a staggering total of 960 games missed this season, illustrating their injury woes.

The Rockies are off to franchise record-worst starts in terms of batting average (.255), slugging percentage (.431) and strikeout rate (27.9%). This is particularly concerning given last year's 24.7% strikeout rate.

The Braves' offensive approach has drastically changed this season, as they struggle with poor z-contact rates and quality of contact, leading to team-wide failure.
