Baseball’s Upward Trend Is Leaving Some Players Grounded – New York Times
Reyes, by many measures, is having an awful year. Of the 164 players who qualify for the batting title, only two have a lower batting average on balls hit in play than Reyes does. And the Cubs briefly demoted one of those two players, Kyle Schwarber, to the minor leagues to work on his hitting. So why has Reyes been so bad when he makes contact? Examining the angle at…

Brewers prospect wants to spread baseball in his native Honduras – For The Win
MIAMI — Mauricio Dubon grew up in a baseball family, if not in a baseball hotbed. His father and his older brother played in their hometown of San Pedro Sula, Honduras, a city of over 700,000 people with, by Dubon’s estimate, no real baseball fields and only a couple of softball fields.

How to Make Baseball Cool Again – Bleacher Report
In America, baseball is the first: the first love, the first to capture our imagination, the first to radio and TV, the first to integrate, the first to innovate. It’s America’s pastime, because it was born in America and it is America. But along the way, we’ve grown jaded.
