Redlands East Valley right fielder Alphonzo Mancinas wore eyeblack and sunglasses Tuesday afternoon. It didn’t help one bit trying to catch fly balls on a windy, sunny day in a Southern Section Division 1 second-round home playoff game against Sherman Oaks Notre Dame. “The sun is horrible,” he said. “Ridiculous.” And he was on the winning team.

Few baseball jobs are more prestigious than that of the closer. It’s the closer who gets bigger contracts than his partners in relief; it’s the closer who gets to celebrate a victory’s final out; it’s the closer who gets to pile up saves, baseball’s best-branded statistic; and it’s the closer who gets the cool beans audio-visual package when he enters a home game. The closer concept is outdated (and was…

Butler University baseball versus St. Louis University March 19, 2017.(Photo: Brent Smith) The turnaround of the Butler baseball program started with a text message. “Practice is canceled today.

Especially before what was supposed to be the first practice of the season. But problems had been…

The New York Yankees and Chicago Cubs played an 18-inning epic at Wrigley Field on May 7 that lasted six hours and five minutes. Five nights later the Cincinnati Reds and San Francisco Giants grinded through 17 innings in five hours, 28 minutes. Child’s play. Go at it for 72 hours and then get back to us. Yes, 72 hours. That’s the length of the baseball marathon planned for Memorial…

NEW YORK (AP) Baseball games will soon arrive on virtual-reality headsets. Video in the new At Bat VR app won’t be in VR. Rather, the app places you behind home plate and shows you graphical depictions of each pitch, including a colored streak (red for strikes and green for balls) tracing the ball’s trajectory.
