The free daily baseball newsletter

Small Ball is a free daily MLB email newsletter built for the fan who wants one place to get caught up on their team. Every morning, you get a recap of yesterday's box score, division standings, injury updates, curated beat writer coverage, and our signature Vibe Check, a momentum score powered by real Statcast data like exit velocity, hard-hit rate, and expected wOBA. Win or lose, you'll know what happened and what's next in about two minutes.

Most sports apps blast you with scores for every team. ESPN and The Athletic bury your team under league-wide coverage. Small Ball does the opposite: pick one team or pick twelve, and every morning you get a personalized baseball update written like a beat reporter's notebook. Original daily briefs, curated headlines from local beat writers, and data pulled straight from the MLB Statcast API. No paywalls, no app to download.
