News & Hot Takes

We read the baseball beat reporters, the stat nerds, and the timeline. Then we tell you what actually matters for your team.

The free daily baseball newsletter

Small Ball delivers a free daily MLB newsletter, a dedicated email for every team you follow. Every morning, you get your team's scores, complete box scores, division standings, injury updates, beat reporter news, and our signature Vibe Check, a momentum score built on real Statcast analytics like exit velocity, hard-hit rate, and expected wOBA. Whether your team won or lost, you'll know what happened, what it means, 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.

Frequently asked questions

Is Small Ball really free?

Yes. Small Ball is 100% free with no paywalls, no premium tiers, and no credit card required. Just pick your teams and subscribe.

How many MLB teams can I follow?

As many as you want. Follow one team or all 30. Most fans pick their team plus a few division rivals to keep tabs on the competition.

When does the newsletter arrive?

Your newsletter lands in your inbox every morning before first pitch.

What is the Vibe Check?

The Vibe Check is Small Ball's proprietary momentum score. It combines real Statcast data like exit velocity, hard-hit rate, expected batting average, and strikeout rates with recent win-loss trends to give you a single number that tells you whether your team is heating up or cooling down.
