It was the kind of throw from center field at Dodger Stadium that would have made Willie Mays or Roberto Clemente nod with approval. Daniel Moreno of El Camino Real retrieved a single by Chatsworth’s Andrew Renteria in right center after one bounce. He was moving forward when he released the ball with all his might. It landed straight into the glove of catcher Eric Yang, who tagged out Daniel…

OMAHA, Neb. – The Iowa baseball team did without drama Saturday.

The game was scoreless until the fourth when Robert Neustrom’s single followed two straight walks and put Iowa in front. Daniel Aaron Moriel added an RBI…

Our daily fantasy baseball picks continue with starting pitcher rankings, strategy, and advice for Saturday’s MLB slate. The pitching is very deep today, whether you’re looking to pay up for an ace or go cheap. It reminds me a lot of trying to select a QB in NFL DFS most weeks. Difference is, the mid-tier pitchers are much more volatile than those mid-tier QBs, who can still give you big points…

Arthur Schott (Photo: Family photo) Arthur Schott, whose encyclopedic knowledge of baseball and New Orleans’ history in the game guided researchers, reporters and fans for eight decades, died Friday. He was 97. A baseball fan since childhood, Schott was always very generous with his knowledge and a frequent source of information for sports journalists. Legendary New Orleans newspaper columnist (and fellow baseball fan) Charles “Pie” Dufour once called Schott the…

8:17 PM ET print WASHINGTON — Well before St. Louis Cardinals players reach the major leagues, they undergo organizational brainwashing, if you want to call it that. “Cardinal Way, that sort of stuff,” outfielder Stephen Piscotty said. One of the first times Piscotty got an earful of how the Cardinals like to comport themselves on the field came a couple of years ago at the team’s spring-training camp for elite…

Brian Snitker’s 2016 baseball team is, by any objective measure, rather a mess. (Just Google major league standings or statistics). Simply eyeballing Snitker’s 1971 team, the Macon (Ill.) Ironmen, you would have thought it similarly ill-equipped for the fray. But they wrote a book about that team. High school baseball at that time in that sparsely peopled part of central Illinois was not a flashy production. The Ironmen, for whom…

Baseball in Israel? Yes that most American of games is growing in popularity thanks to individuals like Peter Kurz. The son of a father who fought in the Russian army in World War II and a mother hidden during the Holocaust in her native Hungary, Kurz grew up in Manhattan and was drawn early-on to two things: baseball and Zionism. He attended his first N.Y. Mets game at Shea Stadium…
