I don't think I've ever seen a Phillies player hit a ball harder if not further.

The Mets are going to name Jessica Mendoza as part of their front office, according to multiple sources. Mendoza will serve in a player-evaluation role, among other responsibilities. She will continue her work on ESPN Sunday Night Baseball.

As part of sweeping changes to the collective bargaining agreement, increasingly likely to be ratified by Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players Association, the sides are planning to overhaul All-Star voting and create an Election Day for fans to pick the starters, major league sources familiar with the plan told ESPN.

Under the proposed plan, starting this year the standard online voting would take place. Upon its completion, the top three vote-getters at each position in each league would be on the ballot on Election Day, and whichever players received the most votes on that single day would determine the All-Star starters, according to sources.
