The most impressive World Series moment on Friday night may have come from MLB Network analyst Dan Plesac when he predicted Toronto Blue Jays utilityman Addison Barger would play a significant role in Game 1 before the first pitch was thrown.

Lefty slugger Addison Barger wasn't in the starting lineup for the Toronto Blue Jays, but he made World Series history in Game 1 with one swing of the bat: He hit the first pinch-hit grand slam ever in Fall Classic. And Dan Plesac of the MLB Network nailed that Barger would make an impact with a home run at some point.

Correctly predicting a home run is always impressive, but MLB Network analyst Dan Plesac took calling his shot to another level on Friday night. Before the Blue Jays took Game 1 of the 2025 World Series with an 11-4 win over the Dodgers in Toronto,

Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez and David Ortiz make their predictions for the highly-anticipated matchup between the Los Angeles Dodgers Toronto Blue Jays.

Dodgers star Clayton Kershaw has announced he will retire at the end of the 2025 MLB season, so regardless of Scherzer's decision on his future, this is likely the last time they will be involved in the same games and in the same series.

The MLB free-agent market could be less than a week from opening, and there actually are players who should stick right where they're at if they can help it.

In Game 4 of the National League Championship Series, Shohei Ohtani showed exactly why he's baseball's best and most unique talent. That 10-strikeout, three-homer performance was also made possible in part by a rule MLB made to accommodate Ohtani's rare two-way talent.
