George Springer (2010 CNT) continued on his hot streak against the New York Yankees on July 3. The Toronto Blue Jays standout erupted for a three hit night, going 3-for-4 with two home runs, four RBIs, three runs scored and a walk. Springer punished the Yankees pitching from start to finish in a statement night at the plate, and helped secure the series sweep.
Four-time USA Baseball alum Pete Crow-Armstrong and the Chicago Cubs set off plenty of fireworks in their record-setting 11-3 victory over the Cardinals on July 4. In the contest, Crow-Armstrong blasted two home runs as part of an eight-homer outing for the Cubs as a whole. The pair of homers came in the first and third innings, but the young star didn’t stop there as he went 4-for-4 on the day while also scoring a game-high four runs. With the addition of two bombs, Crow-Armstrong currently owns 23 homers in his 2025 campaign.
2023 World Baseball Classic alum Pete Alonso went absolutely nuclear in the Mets' dominant 12-6 win over the Yankees on July 5. After a quiet first half of the game, Alonso exploded onto the scene with a two-run blast to right center field that traveled 382 feet to put his side up by five runs. It took only two more innings for Alonso to make his mark again, this time a three-run shot that carried nearly 400 feet. In the win, Alonso added five RBIs to his season totals while also tallying three runs scored and a walk.
2023 World Baseball Classic alum Kyle Higashioka drove in five runs and was perfect at the plate, nearly setting a career-high mark in the Rangers 7-4 victory over San Diego on July 5. With his team down a run, Higashioka stepped up to the plate and delivered a two-run shot to give his side the lead in the top of the third frame. From there on, he made consistent contact at the dish by registering a pair of RBI singles and a sacrifice fly that would extend the Rangers’ lead. Finishing 3-for-3, Higashioka also collected his third stolen base of his career in the match.

Week of June 23
Professional (June 26-July 2)
Sonny Gray achieved a feat he has not touched in almost over a decade after an incredible outing against the Cleveland Guardians on June 27. Gray went the distance, going all nine innings and twirling a one-hit gem while recording 11 strikeouts and only needed 89 pitches to do so. The complete-game marked the seventh of Gray’s 13-year career and his first since 2017. Of the seven complete-games, Gray recorded his fifth career complete-game shutout. It’s the first shutout from Gray in a nearly decade since he last did it in 2015 as a member of the Athletics.
George Springer’s red-hot June carried right into the month of July as his midsummer surge rolled on against the New York Yankees on July 1. Springer (2010 CNT) went a ridiculous 4-for-7, smashing two home runs in addition to seven RBIs in a heroic effort. Springer’s second home run may have unlocked the loudest environment ever recorded in the Rogers Centre. Down 5-4 in the seventh, Springer unloaded on the first pitch he saw, belting a grand slam to take an 8-5 lead and give his team a lead it wouldn’t relinquish.
Kevin Gausman had one of his best outings of the 2025 campaign against the Cleveland Guardians on June 26. Gausman (2009 18U, 2011 CNT) turned in 8.0 innings of shutout baseball, racking up six punchouts while only yielding two hits in the contest. Gausman picked up his sixth win of the season, and it was the third time this season going at least 8.0 innings. The Blue Jays have won in all of Gausman's starts where he goes at least 8.0 innings as they now share a co-lead of first place in the AL East.
Trea Turner posted a monstrous effort en route to the Phillies 13-0 win against the Atlanta Braves on June 27. Turner (2012 & 2013 CNT, 2023 World Baseball Classic) went 4-for-6 at the dish, crushing two home runs, scoring four runs and tallying 11 total bases in the lopsided victory. It was Turner’s second multi-homer game in addition to the third time he recorded four-plus hits in the 2025 season.
Kyle Tucker had a season-high performance against his former team, the Houston Astros, on June 28. Tucker (2012 15U, 2023 World Baseball Classic) went 4-for-5 at the plate, matching his season best while driving in three RBIs. With the Cubs up 4–2 in the top of the fourth, Tucker launched a three-run homer to right field, extending the lead to 7–2. His offensive output helped seal the win for Chicago and ended the Astros’ five-game winning streak.

Christian Moore turned in the most noteworthy performance of his young career to date. Moore (2023 CNT) played hero in the Angels’ 3-2 walk-off win over the Boston Red Sox on June 24. Moore delivered a game-tying solo home run in the bottom of the eighth inning, before hitting a walk-off two-run homer in extra-innings to secure a massive win for his club and write some history along the way. In addition to notching his first career multi-home run effort, Moore became the first player in MLB history to hit a game-tying home run, a walk-off home run with his team trailing, and be responsible for driving in all of his team’s runs.
Joe Ryan was immaculate from the bump in the Twins’ 2-0 victory over the Mariners, tossing six innings of pristine baseball. Ryan, who participated with Team USA in the 2021 Olympics, yielded three hits and kept Seattle off of the board throughout his outing. Ryan currently boasts a 2.86 ERA and 104 strikeouts in his 2025 campaign.
Kyle Tucker has been a strong bat for the Chicago Cubs this past week. Tucker (2013 15U, 2023 World Baseball Classic) has recorded three home runs in the past five games, along with six RBIs.

Christian Yelich and the Milwaukee Brewers raced out to a dominant 17-6 win over the Twins at Target Field on June 20. It was a historic night for Yelich who went 4-for-6 and collected a whopping eight RBIs. His eight-RBI performance marked the most by a player who did not hit a home run since 1920. This season, the 2017 World Baseball Classic alum owns a .264 batting average with 57 RBIs.
George Springer headlined a 10-4 win for the Toronto Blue Jays after quite the day at the yard. Springer (2010 CNT), went 3-for-5 with a grand slam and then scored three runs himself. Springer’s sixth inning grand slam seemingly put things out of reach for the Guardians, as the Blue Jays lead increased from 3-1 to 7-1 with one swing of the bat. Since June 20, Springer is batting .500 (9-18) with a home run, six RBI and five runs scored.

The 1-0 win also marked the first such scoreline for LSU in its storied and dominant history in Omaha.
