Top rookies on the mound

A few days ago, we saw several rookie players who have hit well so far in the 2026 season. Now, let’s shift our focus to the mound. Let’s look at which rookie pitchers have done a good job thus far.

Jon Lester

Around a month ago, I watched a show on YouTube. In the show, Jon Lester was the guest and he shared the story of his career. Lester played 16 seasons in the majors. He made 451 starts and 1 relief appearance. In his career, he tossed 2740 innings and got 200 wins with a 3.66 ERA and a 1.28 WHIP. Moreover, he struck out 2488 batters.

Ryan Howard

I chatted with some friends while watching a game. A friend mentioned some Phillies players who used to win an MVP award. Of course, there are several players from the Phillies. However, I don’t know why. We talked about Ryan Howard.

2025 Topps Holiday Mega box, round 2

A while ago, I shared my experience about opening a mega box of 2025 Topps Holiday. The result wasn’t bad. So, I decided to buy another one to see what I can get.

The future is bright?

It’s been more than a month since the 2026 season started. So far this season, there are several rookies who have played very well. This time, let’s take a look at position players to see who has done a good job thus far.

The final one

A few weeks ago, I listened to a podcast show. In the show, the hosts and guests were talking about the 2016 World Series. The Cubs defeated the Indians (Guardians) to end the 108-year drought. I watched that game on TV, so I certainly remember the final out. Mike Montgomery threw the last pitch and recorded the last out of the World Series.

Similar?

A few days ago, I watched some games on TV. There was a game that the Diamondbacks were playing. I saw that Geraldo Perdomo was hitting. While seeing him playing, I was just thinking about the other player who used to play for the D-backs.

Not in the strike zone, but

It’s been almost a month since the 2026 season officially kicked off. I believe many fans have watched several games thus far this season. A few days ago, I watched some highlights, in a highlight, a star player crushed a home run. However, an interesting thing is that that pitch wasn’t in the strike zone.
