Turkey Stearnes was Negro Leagues star with unorthodox style

share-square-817399 The Negro Leagues Baseball Museum continues to celebrate the history of the Negro Leagues, and MLB.com s Bill Ladson has written a series of articles on some of the league s legends. Today, the focus is on outfielder Turkey Stearnes. Of the Negro Leagues players enshrined in the Baseball Hall of Fame, Norman Turkey Stearnes arguably is the most underrated. You don t hear his name in the same light as Josh Gibson or Satchel Paige. Stearnes didn t hit tape-measure shots like Gibson nor was he considered the fastest man to ever play the game like Cool Papa Bell. But Stearnes was respected by his counterparts.

Sunday Notes: Mitch Keller Bows to the BAPiP Gods

January 24, 2021 Mitch Keller has only thrown 69-and-a-third big-league innings, and he’s already had a remarkable career. The baseball gods are a big reason why. In his 2019 rookie season, the now-24-year-old Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander had a 7.13 ERA to go with a 3.19 FIP, and this past season he had a 2.91 ERA to go with a 6.75 FIP. Hello, BABIP. In an almost-inexplicable quirk of fate, Keller followed up a .475 BABIP the highest one-season mark in MLB history with a .104 BABIP in 2020. No pitcher who threw 20-or-more innings in last year’s pandemic-truncated campaign had a smaller percentage of balls put in play against him fall safely to the turf. This happened with an average exit velocity of 88.5 mph, which was higher than the 87.6 he’d allowed in 2019.
