☆ The Lost Art of Fouling the Ball Off (on Purpose)
  + stars: | 2023-07-28 | by ( Zach Buchanan | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
In his junior year, he took 248 trips to the plate and struck out only three times. LePage never made it past Class A in the minor leagues, but a few guys in the majors still remember him fondly. “He could foul the ball straight back during batting practice on command,” Ahmed said. “Just a different level of bat control.”Like many college standouts, LePage could not find his footing in pro ball. Over the last decade, as teams have chased exit velocity and the long ball, the value of such high-contact, low-impact hitters has tanked.

☆ Catch Them if You Can

Midway through last season, Zac Gallen, the ace right-hander of the Arizona Diamondbacks, found himself surveying the baseball landscape. “Where do we get one of those guys?” Gallen asked a member of the Arizona front office. That August, Arizona called up outfielder Corbin Carroll. After showing promise in what amounted to an extended audition, Carroll, 22, has put the Diamondbacks on his shoulders this season. A similar story has played out in Cincinnati, where the infielder Elly De La Cruz injected so much talent and energy into the Reds that the team immediately began climbing in the standings.

☆ His Sexuality Doesn’t Define Him, but It Can Set Him Apart

The hateful email was a surprise, but for Eric Bach, it was not entirely unexpected. The young broadcaster had been anticipating something like it for some time. Three years earlier, while he was studying journalism at Michigan State University, he had publicly come out as gay in an essay he wrote for Outsports. He simply showed up to work, pulled his headset over his ears and described the action for the audience at home. More than a year after that incident, that email represents something of a nexus in Bach’s developing career as a sports broadcaster.
