Minnesota softball sensation racking up unreal strikeout totals
Minnesota softball sensation racking up unreal strikeout totals originally appeared on Bring Me The News. There's a softball pitcher in Minnesota who is putting up jaw-dropping numbers, and there's a very high likelihood that she'll shatter the state record for career strikeouts by the time she graduates from United South Central High School in 2026. Mariah Anderson is a 5-foot-3 superstar who has led her team to the Class A state championship game, and she'll be on the mound for Friday's 6:30 p.m. title tilt against Badger/Greenbush-Middle River. Anderson is 24-1 this season with 388 strikeouts in 170 innings, according to MNSoftballHub. She has 20 shutouts and seven no-hitters, including three perfect games. A stunning 76% of the outs recorded when she's on the mound have come via strikeout. Anderson pitched a five-inning perfect game against Blackduck in the first game of the state tournament, and she followed later that night in the semifinals with a 20-strikeout, two-hit shutout against Braham. According to MNSoftballHub, Anderson struck out 403 batters as a sophomore last season. How accurate are those stats? It's not really clear because the Mankato Free Press reported on May 19 that she had 293 strikeouts over 124 innings, and she's struck out 109 batters in 47 innings since. If that's accurate, she's up to 402 for the season. Either way, it certainly appears to be a state record. The single season record, per the Minnesota State High School League, was 341 by Aubrey Quern of Dassel-Cokato in 2024. Anderson is also sprinting towards the career strikeouts record in Minnesota. In the May 19 athlete of the week story from the Mankato Free Press, Anderson was believed to have had 1,264 strikeouts in her career. The 109 she's piled up since then would put her at an unconfirmed total of 1,373, good for second all time. 1,642 Maddie Damon, Kasson-Mantorville, 2010-2015 1,373* Mariah Anderson, United South Central, 2021-2025 1,309 Carlie Brandt, LeSueur-Henderson, 2011-2016 1,178 Lindsey Predovich, Virginia, 1998-2003 1,158 Danielle Schmidt, New Life Academy, 2004-2009 With another year of high school left, Anderson is on pace to shatter the record. As dominant as she is, Anderson hasn't committed to play softball in college just yet. It's an option, but she's also an incredible gymnast and could go that route.

MLB Insider Expects Cubs Might Land One or Two Starters in Coming Weeks
MLB Insider Expects Cubs Might Land One or Two Starters in Coming Weeks originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Rumors about Jed Hoyer's plans for the Chicago Cubs' rotation have been swirling in non-stop fashion, as for who and when, Hoyer hasn't given much indication except that he is scouring the market for starting pitching. However, Chicago MLB insider Bruce Levine thinks he knows when and, more importantly, how many. Advertisement In an appearance on 670 The Score, Levine offered his thoughts and insider knowledge. When talking about the Cubs' starting rotation situation, he had this to say: 'I will say that the Cubs are certainly out there trying to fortify their pitching right now. And over the next two to three weeks, I think they'll put a strong effort into trying to acquire a starting pitcher or two.' Jed Hoyer President of the Chicago Cubs prepares to throw balls to fans before a game against the San Diego Padres at Wrigley Banks-Imagn Images The timeline itself is a bit of a bombshell. With a first-place record, there really isn't any need to rush a trade, but, as the saying goes, the early bird gets the worm. However, the real bombshell here is the quantity. Depending on who they target, the Cubs might have a superb rotation in the next three weeks. As for Levine's reasoning behind his assumptions, he gave this argument: Advertisement 'Yeah, why would you wait for the trade deadline? You have dead teams out there. You have the Marlins, you have the Rockies, you have teams like Arizona that might be going the other way very soon in one of the more difficult divisions in baseball. So, there are teams that are going to want to improve and do it before the deadline if you mention the right players coming back. And the Cubs have good minor league players. That's where they're gonna go. They're not going to wait until the deadline to make a trade. They're going to be proactive and move towards these teams that are not in contention.' The hot stove is always burning as the trade deadline nears, but thanks to Levine, it just got a lot hotter. If Levine is right, we can expect to see a new ball game in Wrigleyville very soon.
