Michigan State starting pitcher earns another All-American honor
Dzierwa took home more awards in 2025 than most can count, and on Thursday, he added to his trophy case.
A fourth All-American accolade was announced in favor of Dzierwa with D1 Baseball announcing their All-American lists, featuring the Spartans lefty as a third team All-American.
The awards come on the heels of a season in which Dzierwa tossed a 2.36 earned run average in 14 starts, going along with a WHIP of 0.96 and tossing over 100 strikeouts.
This junior campaign for Dzierwa has solidified himself as a top MLB prospect in the 2025 MLB Draft coming up this summer, and he is sure to be one of the top picks in the draft.

Rangers hope to flip World Series title script, and finish this regular season how they started '23
ARLINGTON, Texas — Chris Young is hoping that the Texas Rangers can flip the script from 2023, when they won their only World Series title . The Rangers would like to finish this regular season the way they started that championship one two years ago. Texas (53-50) went into its day off Thursday, after a three-game series sweep of the Athletics and a week before the trade deadline, with 59 games left. 'I look back on 2023 and we went 40-20 in our first 60 games. And after that, you know, the next 102 we were two games under .500,' Young, the team's president of baseball operations, said before the opener of that series against the A's. 'Every season has a different ebb and flow to it. And my hope is that the next 62 games are our best 62 games of our season. If that's the case, then we'll look back and say, hey, the first half of the season wasn't as much fun as we had hoped, but it was all worth it to get where we wanted to go.' While third in the American League West behind Houston and Seattle, the Rangers were only 1 1/2 games out of the league's final wild-card spot. They won two of three games at the division-leading Astros before the All-Star break, and are 5-1 since, including a series win over AL Central leader Detroit. There are three games at home this weekend against Atlanta and then three in Los Angeles against the Angels before the trade deadline. Texas is 12-6 in July and averaged 5.6 runs per game, nearly two runs a game more than in their first 85 games before that. The pitching and defense have been good all season, with the staff's MLB-best 3.16 ERA and a majors-low 32 fielding errors. The Rangers have allowed two runs or fewer in their last seven games, matching the longest such streak in Texas history. 'If we can continue the progress we've shown over the last several weeks ... it's going to determine a lot,' Young said about what the team might do before the deadline. 'So not to put any more pressure on anything, it's just the reality of this point in the season, and we're looking up in the standings.' Corey Seager, in the fourth season of his $325 million, 10-year deal with Texas, has a 24-game on-base streak. He has hit .356 with eight homers and 22 RBIs in what is the second-longest active streak in the majors, behind the 29 by Milwaukee's Christian Yelich. The two-time World Series MVP shortstop had a 30-game streak last year and a 26-gamer in 2023, making him the only player with streaks of at least 24 games in each of those seasons. Right-hander Jacob deGrom (10-2, 2.28 ERA) was the only Rangers player picked as an All-Star, but the team gave right-hander Nathan Eovaldi (7-3, 1.58) the $100,000 All-Star bonus from his contract even after he was left off the American League squad. Eovaldi is set to start Friday against the Braves, his first game since July 13, when he went 7 2/3 innings in a 5-1 win at Houston before the break. The 35-year-old right-hander was scratched because of back stiffness from last Sunday's game against Oakland, and a matchup with AL All-Star starter Tarik Skubal. The 37-year-old deGrom missed most of the past two seasons after Tommy John surgery, and his 118 1/3 innings pitched are already his most since 2019, when he won his second consecutive NL Cy Young Award with the New York Mets. DeGrom went to Atlanta last week but opted against pitching in the All-Star Game, and the Rangers intentionally gave him a nine-day break between starts. 'If we can keep him out there and keep getting the best version of Jacob for another 10 or so starts, it's a great thing for our club,' Young said. 'He's feeling really good, and we're doing our best to try to protect him from a health and recovery standpoint.' Josh Jung is 4 for 8 with a homer and four runs scored in three games since being recalled from Triple-A Round Rock, where the third baseman was sent July 2 when in a bad slump. Jon Gray made his season debut Wednesday against the A's, pitching two innings in relief for the win. The right-hander, who can be a starter or reliever, suffered a fractured forearm when struck by a comeback liner in a spring training game. Joc Pederson, the offseason addition out since May 25 because of a broken right hand, could re-join the team next week after a rehab assignment. ___ AP MLB:

Rich Hill starts for Kansas City Royals: Who are oldest active MLB players?
The Kansas City Royals turned to 45-year-old Rich Hill to start Tuesday's game against the Chicago Cubs, making the left-handed pitcher the oldest player to appear in MLB this season. Hill pitched five innings against the Cubs, allowing three runs — just one earned — striking out one batter and walking two. The Cubs went on to win the game, 6-0, with Hill taking the loss. Hill was called up from the Triple-A Omaha Storm Chasers on Monday, July 21. The veteran left-handed pitcher last appeared in the majors late in the 2024 season, making four relief appearances in August and September for the Boston Red Sox. Hill is one of just five players over 45 to play in the majors since 2010, and the first to do so since 2018. Hill also became the oldest player to ever play for the Royals, playing for his 14th MLB team. That ties Edwin Jackson's record for the most teams played for by one player. Here's what to know about Rich Hill and the oldest active players in the majors: Oldest active players in MLB Rich Hill might be the oldest active player in Major League Baseball, but he'll have to stick around for some time to break Satchel Paige's incredible record. Paige was 59 years old when he made his final MLB appearance on Sept. 25, 1965, a record that might never be broken. However, that's not to take away from Hill and the other durable players across the majors who are still plugging away at the top of the sport. Here, per Baseball Reference, is a list of the 10 oldest active MLB players: 1. Rich Hill (Kansas City Royals) - 45 years, 133 days 2. Justin Verlander (San Francisco Giants) - 42 years, 152 days 3. Charlie Morton (Baltimore Orioles) - 41 years, 252 days 4. Max Scherzer (Toronto Blue Jays) - 40 years, 360 days 5. Justin Turner (Chicago Cubs) - 40 years, 241 days 6. Carlos Santana (Cleveland Guardians) - 39 years, 105 days 7. Chris Martin (Texas Rangers) - 39 years, 50 days 8t. Martín Maldonado (San Diego Padres) - 38 years, 340 days 8t. Yu Darvish (San Diego Padres) - 38 years, 340 days 10. Andrew McCutchen (Pittsburgh Pirates) - 38 years, 285 days The biggest stories, every morning.
