Will Zack Greinke get in the Hall of Fame?

Trevor Powers at Pitcher’s List ranks Royals prospects for dynasty leagues with Blake Mitchell at #2.

There were two sides to Mitchell’s first minor league season. On the good side, he showed the ability to tap into his power consistently in game. In just 111 games, he hit 18 home runs and 16 doubles. For such a young player, it is impressive to see him get to his power that frequently in game. On top of that, he showed the ability to make good swing decisions with an above-average 16.5% walk rate. When looking at what it takes to be an above-average power hitter in the game today, the ability to not swing at pitches outside the strike zone is imperative to success.

The bad for Mitchell this season is the concerns surrounding the hit tool. Not only was the batting average production less than ideal, but a 30.7% strikeout rate is concerning. That is usually a problem that does not get better as a hitter progresses through the MiLB ranks. The pitching gets just enough better that it can expose some swing flaws. But Mitchell is still so young, he has plenty of time. He played most of the 2024 season at 19 years old, and the Royals obviously trust him enough to push him to High-A. If the hit tool improves, he has the skills to be a top catcher in the league.

Jay Staph at Just Baseball has Bobby Witt Jr. atop his ranking of shortstops in baseball.

Not only is Witt one of baseball’s best hitters, but he’s a 99th-percentile fielder as well. In 2024, Witt posted 16 OAA, and a 78th-percentile arm strength.

Witt is also the fastest player in MLB, with his 30.5 ft/s sprint speed atop the leaderboard. Witt has stolen as many as 49 bases in a single season, and with this immense speed, Witt may have the potential to come close to the 70 stolen base threshold Ronald Acuna Jr reached in 2023.

Witt isn’t just the best shortstop in all of baseball, but he’s truly one of MLB’s best players. Within the next few years, Witt has the chance to become the best player in all of baseball, using his five-tool abilities along the way.

Jay Jaffe looks at the next five years of Hall of Fame ballots.

Ballwriters love them some Joey Votto, so I think he’ll make it on the first ballot.

The same is true for Greinke. While he didn’t return in 2024 to collect the 21 strikeouts he needed to reach 3,000, I suspect that shortfall bothers me more than it does him; this is a man who said he didn’t want the “hassle” of a no-hitter, so you can imagine what he thinks about milestones. His 225 wins and 121 ERA+ are impressive, as is his 62.9 S-JAWS, which ranks 25th all-time between Hall of Famers Fergie Jenkins and Tom Glavine, with Max Scherzer two spots and 1.4 points below him.

Hudson Headwaters opens alternative nursing home in Glens Falls

GLENS FALLS, N.Y. (NEWS10)-- Hudson Headwaters Health Network opened the doors of a new alternative nursing home, marking the 10th of its kind in New York State. The Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) pays for and provides coordinated medical and social services for people over 55.

PACE helps patients create a personalized care plan coordinated by a team of physicians. It includes primary, dental, home, specialty care, therapies, and prescription drug services.

The new 15,000-square-foot facility on LaGrange Street serves parts of Warren, Washington, and Saratoga Counties. PACE also offers transportation to patient appointments, socialization, and meal services.

The nursing home, which includes an outdoor garden and patio and several spaces for activities and services, was designed to serve as a hub for elderly residents. Officials said the facility is adjacent to Hudson Headwaters' Glens Falls Family Health.

President and Director of PACE Linda Spokane said the PACE model has transformed care for elders and patients' needs. Spokane said a special enrollment team has been made to help participants and their families interested in participating, as they expect a lot of interest in the program.

"There are strict guidelines regarding eligibility," Spokane said. "For example, most PACE participants are duel-eligible, meaning they qualify for both Medicaid and Medicare. Private pay options are also available."
