offense has been slow to start this year Kansas City has won 9 of its last 10 games and has done so on the back of top-to-bottom excellent pitching performances I thought about awarding the entire pitching staff But for the last week of April I’ve got to award it to one pitcher in particular: Seth Lugo Lugo started two games over the last week—yesterday against the Tampa Bay Rays and April 25 against the Houston Astros Lugo had maybe the best game of his career: 8 shutout innings with only four baserunners allowed Lugo went 6 strong innings with two earned runs and five strikeouts against zero walks He debuted as a 26-year-old for the New York Mets in 2016 where he started some games and pitched out of the pen for the rest when he threw 146.1 innings for the Padres Kansas City saw even more late-blooming potential and a sweet spot in the free agent market and signed him to a two-year deal with a player option Lugo was selected to his first All-Star Game and was the Cy Young runner up One of the things I’m trying to do more of this year is to sit back and enjoy the good baseball is going to end up an all-time great and is at the height of his powers especially since Royals fans sat through so much bad pitching over the years and against the Rays Statcast picked up 10 different pitch types from him only two of which were used more than one fifth of the time Lugo is central to the Royals’ hope of winning the AL Central and going back to the playoffs And who knows—maybe he’ll even win the Cy Young this year Share on FacebookShare on X (formerly Twitter)Share on

Cy Young Award runner-up gave reason to believe on Friday night that he’ll be in the conversation once again dealt a season-high eight scoreless innings in the Royals’ 2-0 victory over the Astros in the series opener at Kauffman Stadium walked one and needed just 94 pitches to record 24 outs Lugo’s effectiveness resulted in a one hour that was probably the best game I’ve seen him pitch Right from the get-go it looked like he was incredibly sharp they made him work a little bit there towards the end and needed some good defense there to get out of that but the crispness of his pitches and efficiency he was working with was incredible.” Lugo worked his nine-pitch mix to his advantage once again attacking all parts of the zone with varying speeds and movement He recorded two strikeouts with his cutter I would always look back at the scoreboard and see what pitch he was throwing,” said Drew Waters he’s got like 13 pitches to keep guys off-balance so any time you get to watch a guy like that pitch The only trouble Lugo faced was in the sixth when Cam Smith worked a leadoff walk before advancing to second on a sacrifice bunt with Jose Altuve and Yordan Alvarez due up Lugo got Altuve to ground out sharply and Alvarez to fly out to right to end the threat Greatness. pic.twitter.com/5L1UgJ904l aided by a tough double play turned by Bobby Witt Jr as Lugo lowered his ERA to 3.08 in the Royals’ first shutout win of the season “I thought I did a really good job of executing pitches and I think that was one of the better fastballs I’ve had this year -- location and action on it,” Lugo said “I changed speeds well and stayed in the zone very well The 35-year-old righty is known for his relentless game-planning but he didn’t come into the outing with the intention of throwing a lot of fastballs But he noticed the extra movement on it while warming up and threw seven heaters in his first 12 pitches Lugo’s eight-inning gem was tied for his second longest outing as a Royal only behind his complete game against the White Sox last July 21 but it was the ninth time Lugo has allowed three hits or fewer in 39 career starts with Kansas City “That was incredible,” said Jonathan India who recorded his 500th career hit on Friday Lugo entered the game allowing five hits or fewer and three earned runs or fewer in all but one start this season He entered with the eighth lowest run support of any starter in baseball Both of the Royals’ runs came off sacrifice flies but Lugo will take it -- Kansas City had scored just two total runs in the past three games Lugo was on the mound Sign up to receive our daily Morning Lineup to stay in the know about the latest trending topics around Major League Baseball Lugo was in a good spot pitch-count wise to pitch the ninth who set down the Astros 1-2-3 for the save After a 2-8 road trip that included a six-game skid the Royals (13-14) have now won five straight games and can return to .500 for the first time since April 13 on Saturday The club has only scored more than four runs twice since April 5 -- both instances coming on Thursday in the doubleheader sweep of Colorado -- but Lugo’s Friday outing made sure two was enough you have to be aware of the scoreboard,” Lugo said “You have to know how you’re going to attack the hitters and how aggressive you’re going to be in the zone but two is enough tonight so we got the ‘W.’” What makes the ordinary extraordinary?  The question is at the center of Roberto Lugo’s “Orange and Black” exhibition at the Princeton University Art Museum’s Art@Bainbridge gallery I attended Lugo’s artist and curator conversation at Bainbridge.  The exhibition centers pottery’s inherent capacity for storytelling and bridging connections between the past and present and college students have been inspired by the collection’s ability to blend traditional Greek pottery with modern storytelling using Lugo’s work as examples for their classes.  Lugo spoke about his resonance with the colors orange and black They didn’t represent the Princeton Tigers Growing up in a North Philadelphia neighborhood where many friends and family members were impacted by incarceration And something else: ancient Greek pottery.  this blend of passion for social injustice and interest in the traditions of ancient Greek ceramics offers a glimpse into his childhood This artistic transparency was most evident in “What Had Happened Was: The Path.” In this work of storytelling abolitionist Harriet Tubman is pictured leading a group of enslaved people around the entire vase symbolizing the often circular struggle for freedom compelling them to confront the work and its message Lugo honors previous and current generations that have fought for freedom.  Visually tracing the figures running across the vase While the vase’s spherical shape celebrates the perseverance of abolitionists it also evokes the idea that resistance and the pursuit of freedom are a perpetual struggle As one traces their eyes across the pottery the forward movement takes on a certain stillness forcing the observer to grapple with the complex and often uncertain nature of progress and change.   Lugo further highlights African American resilience in his piece “What Had Happened Was: Ruby Bridges,” which depicts a young Ruby Bridges being escorted by her mother and U.S marshals to her first day at a desegregated elementary school taking advantage of the physical advantages of pottery Lugo portrays a turbulent path across the vase through protesters angrily opposing desegregation and holding degrading signs.  the moderator of the conversation with Lugo “the focus is primarily on Ruby’s body” and “what constitutes her own personhood and experience of the world as a person of color.” Lugo finds imaginative ways to weave his memories and values into his works In “The Life and Times of Dragon Clemente,” Lugo transforms the association of graffiti art with vandalism then maybe offer more art classes in the area for people to have access to express themselves in a way that they’re doing through graffiti.” He then added “If people are fed up with discussions on race and racism then let’s create a more just world … if you don’t like it you have to actually do something about it You can’t just bitch about the fact that it exists Lugo’s work remolds art into community healing and an instrument of social change pick up some violins … See because those who draw good Lugo’s work innovates modern ceramics by tapping into its ancient purpose as a receptacle for human history Lugo’s ceramics’ overarching themes of social justice and resonating depictions of everyday life record stories simultaneously educating and confronting the observer.  After visiting Lugo’s “Orange and Black” exhibition I’ve found myself paying more attention to the objects that interact with daily life contemplating the essential role art plays in relationships Introduced to an entirely new form of creative expression Lugo has also inspired me to think beyond the functionality of our cups Lugo stands out not only for his impressive craftsmanship and attention to detail but also for the meanings intertwined with every emblem and character painted and shaped onto his works.  seeing each vase not as a product of the old or the new but instead as the human qualities Lugo’s deft weaving of ancient Greek history with contemporary examples of oppression and change demands both artistic reflection and a personal transformation from the viewer.  “Orange and Black” is currently on view for free at Art@Bainbridge on Nassau Street until July 6 Irene Kim is a contributing writer for The Prospect and a member of the Class of 2028 She

postseason berth in ’24 was fueled by their starting pitching. Kansas City boasted one of the best rotations in baseball, which included a dynamic one-two punch at the top in and The Baseball Writers’ Association of America recognized the duo as such in American League Cy Young Award voting on Wednesday with Lugo named the runner-up and Ragans finishing fourth Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase finished third with 66 points Other pitchers represented on ballots included Orioles ace Corbin Burnes Astros pitchers Framber Valdez and Yusei Kikuchi Rangers reliever Kirby Yates and Guardians reliever Cade Smith Skubal was the favorite Wednesday as the AL Triple Crown winner with the most wins (18) Votes by 30 individual BBWAA members were cast at the end of the regular season and before the postseason Lugo was recognized by voters for his consistency and durability atop the Royals' rotation One of just four pitchers in the Majors to cross the 200-inning mark this year Lugo ranked second with 206 2/3 frames behind only Gilbert (208 2/3) Lugo was one of four AL starters to make 33 starts this year The 35-year-old Lugo’s second-place finish is the highest for a Royal in Cy Young voting since Zack Greinke won the award in 2009 Lugo’s Cy Young finish is a testament to the belief he had in himself as a starter despite being a 34th-round Draft pick (1,032nd overall) in 2011 and all the years he spent in the Mets' bullpen It’s also a testament to the Royals’ faith that he could be a valuable member of their rotation and clubhouse when they signed him to a three-year Lugo hit free agency after the 2022 season and signed with San Diego Lugo hit the market again and signed with the Royals who were revamping their roster and viewed him as an important piece on the field -- and just as important off it -- to help establish a winning culture in the clubhouse Lugo was everything the Royals could have asked for and more in his first season -- an All-Star a Gold Glove Award winner and now a Cy Young runner-up His nine-plus pitches fooled hitters all year He and Michael Wacha teamed up as the veteran starters to help turn around the culture in Kansas City and show a young rotation how to get through a long season and into the postseason And one of those young pitchers was Ragans, the rising ace the Royals tabbed as their Opening Day starter and then their Game 1 starter in the AL Wild Card Series against the Orioles The centerpiece of Kansas City's return from Texas for reliever Aroldis Chapman in 2023 Ragans has established himself as a top young arm in the Majors Ragans' 223 strikeouts ranked second to Skubal in the AL -- and made him the fifth Royals pitcher to record 200 or more strikeouts and the first since Greinke in 2009 Ragans ranked in the AL top 10 in ERA (eighth), strikeout percentage (29.3%, second), opponents’ average (.213, sixth) and FIP (2.99 The Royals have been well-represented during this week’s BBWAA announcements and have one more finalist awaiting results.

As he lay there, Lugo was scared. It was December 2014. Four months before this, Michael Brown had been shot and killed by a police officer in Ferguson my life can be taken from me,’” Lugo recalled “I wondered if I was going to wind up like Mike Brown.” He thinks he was stopped because police saw an Afro-Latino Puerto Rican man Lugo graduated with his bachelor’s degree in fine arts from the Kansas City Art Institute in 2012 It was at the Missouri school that Lugo began putting portraits of himself and other Black and Latino faces on his pottery It was to make a statement that he deserved to belong in art spaces he was constantly stopped by people — other students and faculty members usually white — wanting him to show his student ID “He wanted me to tell him the names of my professors to prove I really was a student.” Lugo was walking into a building behind another student who managed to use his body to block Lugo from entering “I had to press my student ID against the glass so he could see I had the right to be there,” he said Lugo had no way of seeing what was in store for him said he never had any formal art classes in all his years in Philadelphia public schools The only art he knew about were the towering murals of Black heroes on city walls His first artwork was the graffiti he spray-painted in middle school “I put my hands on their hands,” he told The Inquirer which says it is the largest gathering of visual art education professionals in the world Five years after the police dog scoured through his van designed with both ancient Greek and Chinese motifs He placed a portrait of Michael Brown in his high school graduation cap on one side The title of the artwork is: Do you know how hard it is to get a black man through high school It’s taken from a quote from Brown’s mother Much of Lugo’s pottery uses the centuries-old porcelain and clay traditions from Europe and Asia The European pottery was often used to depict royalty He often pairs Black or Latino historical figures with rappers like Notorious B.I.G He takes a traditional “royal” style of pottery making then mixes in dashes of hip-hop culture and graffiti “These are stories worthy of being documented in a format that can last thousands of years,” he said Lugo began making pottery that evoked ancient Greek forms years ago long before the Princeton museum called to suggest he sort through its collection of 2,500-year-old Greek pottery His works are being shown next to Greek pots dating to the fifth century BCE The vases from antiquity are displayed behind glass barriers The ancient Greek vases might show Greek men in sporting events while one of Lugo’s vases shows Philly men playing basketball They also show men interacting with police: One officer is shown in riot gear One Lugo vase shows baseball great Roberto Clemente working in a sugarcane field as a child in Puerto Rico. Another captures Tejano singer Selena Quintanilla-Pérez associate curator of ancient Mediterranean art at the Princeton University Art Museum “What’s exciting about his work is he’s creatively adapting and playing with these motifs with the archaic and classical tropes in Greek ceramics but using and adapting them to tell his own story in modern-day America,” she said “He’s showing how [this ancient medium] can be used to tell stories of people who are otherwise underrepresented.” Playing their best baseball of the young season the Kansas City Royals hope to see their dazzling

less in four of its last five games With the Royals looking to prolong that trend three-hit shutout of the Houston Astros last Friday when he struck out eight and walked just one that was probably the best game I’ve seen him pitch,” Royals manager Matt Quatraro said of Lugo’s most recent start The crispness of his pitches and the efficiency he was working with was incredible.” it’s fortunate their pitching staff has been so stellar Kansas City has done just enough to get by over the past five games as the Royals are averaging just 2.6 runs over the stretch extended his hitting streak to 21 games on Wednesday and is batting .322 for the year The Rays entered the mid-week series riding a five-game winning streak but have seen their offense falter over the first 18 innings against Kansas City The loss on Wednesday was their fourth time being shut out at home this season “We could never really get anything going,” Rays manager Kevin Cash said “The momentum was kind of in their favor … We’ve got to find a way to come up and get the big hit I trust that the guys will bounce back and find ways to get big hits with guys on base moving forward.” Tampa Bay was 0-for-8 with runners in

Lugo was a bolt of lightning in a clear blue sky predicting where it would come from would be next to impossible Fantasy Baseball seasons are won and lost on getting a few outlier predictions right so we're going to try to do the impossible today: We're looking for this year's versions of last year's out-of-nowhere We're probably going to be wrong more often than not but if we hit on at least a few of these calls it's going to make a big difference to our teams make sure you didn't miss everything you need to know from the Fantasy Baseball Today team over the past few days:  A veteran starting pitcher who puts together an ace season more or less out of nowhere Contender 1: Nestor Cortes, Brewers – We've seen stretches of it from Cortes before a better park and defense backing him in Milwaukee helps on the margins and he finds a way to improve the strikeout rate enough to make those marginal improvements matter more Cortes has never run huge strikeout or swinging strike rates With how he limits hard contact and free passes even getting the strikeout rate back up to 24-25% could really matter Contender 2: Nick Martinez, Reds – Like Lugo Martinez is a converted reliever who has proved surprisingly adept in a starting role thanks to really strong control What he doesn't share with Lugo is a spacious ballpark and eight-pitch repertoire – he only throws six pitches at least 6% of the time Martinez has a few plus swing-and-miss pitches and has shown some skills in limiting damage on contact If he just sustains what he did last season over a full-time starting role Contender 3: Nick Pivetta, Padres – Alright And I was very skeptical about the claims that Pivetta had figured something out in the second half of 2023 that made him a potential ace for 2024 – and that skepticism was rewarded with the same maddening inconsistency as ever in 2024 But here's the thing: The elite strikeout and whiff rates are still here and Pivetta has gotten better about limiting free passes in recent seasons posting a better-than-average walk rate in 2024 is that he just gets freaking crushed when he does allow contact but it might be less of an issue in the spacious confines of Petco Park With Pivetta's ADP back outside the top 200 this season I'm fine gambling on the late-round upside The converted reliever who becomes an ace starter Contender 1: Clay Holmes, Mets – Holmes showed me what I wanted to see in his first spring outing so we really don't know how Holmes' new changeup and cutter will play consistently but he put in the work this offseason to develop a real starter's arsenal Maybe the changeup is terrible and he gets crushed by lefties who he often struggled with even in a relief role But if he was going to successfully transition to a starting role it would have to feature an expanded arsenal With his ADP still sitting outside the top 250 I'm willing to put aside my concerns and take the chance But the Nationals saw enough to give him a $9 million deal for 2025 and I'm willing to give him a look in H2H points leagues just to see if he can make something out of it Contender 3: Grant Holmes, Braves – Holmes filled in as a starter at times in the second half for the Braves last season and showed some real skills headlined by a slider and curveball combo that each registered a whiff rate over 40% Holmes was once a top prospect about a decade ago but his minor-league numbers will tell you the story of why he ended up being an emergency starter for the Braves last season But with those two breaking balls and control that has improved considerably over the past two seasons there could be something here with the team that made Lopez's transition to the rotation work out The young guy who takes a massive step forward Contender 1: Spencer Arrighetti, Astros – Arrighetti is one of my favorite sleepers for 2025 and I actually can't believe his ADP is still outside of the top 200 in February He has a solid fastball that serves as the foundation of his approach but it's the secondaries I'm really impressed by – when he can throw his cutter consistently for strikes the whole package comes together incredibly well with two big-time swing-and-miss pitches but he figured things out in the second half and went on a heck of a run posting a 3.31 ERA and 29% strikeout rate over his final 16 starts He's on a good team and could get to 180 innings this season though he isn't likely to replicate Miller's elite WHIP from last season Contender 2: Nick Lodolo Reds – Lodolo kind of already did this last season He had a 2.76 ERA and 26.1% strikeout rate before going on the IL with a blister on his middle finger and ultimately went on the IL with soreness in that same finger The margin for error here isn't particularly wide especially with Lodolo pitching half his games in Cincinnati the potential for dominance is clearly there Contender 3: Mackenzie Gore Nationals – If you catch him on the right day And he had a lot of good days early on in 2024 putting together a 3.26 ERA and 28.2% strikeout rate in his first 15 starts and his reverse platoon splits remained a significant issue – lefties managed a massive .834 OPS against him in 2024 The tools are all here if he can sit 96-97 with the four-seamer The hyped breakout candidate pitcher who breaks everyone's hearts instead Contender 1: Roki Sasaki, Dodgers – I've written plenty about my Sasaki skepticism this offseason and his price remains a real sticking point but I don't think drafters are taking into account the step back he took in 2024 He's missed time in each of the past couple of seasons with injuries and saw a multi-MPH drop in fastball velocity in 2024 He may get that back and dominate in his first taste of the majors but it's not worth a top-100 pick to find out Contender 2: Spencer Schwellenbach Braves – I don't really have much to criticize about Schwellenbach's skill set – he has shown a preternatural feel for pitching in a very short time debuting in the majors with plus command of a legitimate six-pitch mix whatever skepticism is here comes down to workload – 2024 was the first time in Schwellenbach's career he threw more than 65 innings in a season How will he respond to such a massive jump but there's enough doubt in my mind that there's usually someone in every league who likes him more than me Contender 3: Bailey Ober, Twins – The nice thing about Ober is the WHIP should typically be very good – he had a 1.00 mark last season despite a 3.98 ERA My concern here is that Ober has pretty average stuff outside of his changeup and though his massive extension helps overcome that his fastball was extremely hittable in 2024 and his new cutter didn't really help overcome that Blowups might just be part of life with Ober given how much he lives in the zone and how many fly balls he gives up Which might mean an inflated ERA is always a part of life with Ober The early-rounder who makes the leap to No Contender 1: Julio Rodriguez, Mariners – Can we just avoid the early-season swoon Rodriguez's struggles continued well into the summer and then a high-ankle sprain in July derailed him just as he was starting to turn things on Rodriguez remains an elite athlete who struggled to turn on the ball in 2024 and his poor approach at the plate might always lead to these kinds of inconsistencies maybe he takes a step forward with his plate discipline as a 24-year-old and becomes a world-destroying monster Contender 2: Jackson Chourio, Brewers – The book on Chourio in the minors was that it would always take him a month or two to get settled at each new level, and then he would produce like an absolute superstar, and that's exactly what we saw in his MLB debut Chourio hit .303/.358/.525 with a 26-homer And I expect him to run even more in 2025 on a steal-happy Brewers team that seemed to hold him back as a rookie and while the quality of contact was more in the good range than elite for Chourio as a rookie any improvement there could lead to a 30-homer ceiling and he did all that and won't even turn 21 until a few weeks from now This year's Brent Rooker The breakout everyone is skeptical about who proves the doubters wrong Contender 1: Jurickson Profar Braves – I'm skeptical about Profar's 2024 production his ADP in February drafts is still just 172.5 so I guess I'm just not as skeptical as everyone else the skepticism mostly comes from how out of nowhere his breakout was but here's the reason why I'm less skeptical: It came with an accompanying and significant improvement in Profar's underlying skill set His previous high average exit velocity before 2024 was just 87.5 mph a mark he improved to 91.1 mph without any degradation in his plate discipline or maybe pitchers will identify something in his approach they can exploit more consistently than they did last season But with Profar coming off a top-35 finish and going outside the top 170 in ADP it's easy enough to overcome my skepticism Contender 2: Eugenio Suarez, Diamondbacks – I don't have any interest in doing the "Over the final X games of the season Y hitter in Fantasy" type of analysis here 37 player over the course of the whole season with both his early-season slump and late-season surge accounted for And his underlying metrics mostly back it up He doesn't have to be as dominant as he was in the second-half to justify his current ADP There's plenty of batting average risk here but if Suarez remains in the .235-.250 range and in the heart of this excellent Mariners lineup I'm very willing to buy him ahead of his going rate Contender 3: Victor Robles, Mariners – I'm a bit confused about why Xavier Edwards (139.9 ADP) is getting more of the benefit of the doubt than Robles (189.6) but I'm not sure the difference between 25 and 27 is big enough that it should matter very much The underlying skill set for both looks very similar but arguably better for Robles – .257 xBA for Robles vs And Robles stole 30 bases in just 77 games with the Mariners It sure sounds like those two players should be ranked pretty similarly so it feels like an example of Robles getting penalized for making the majors and struggling while Edwards was toiling away in the minors The Mariners liked what they saw from Robles enough to give him a two-year contract extension in the middle of last year's strong run The overlooked rookie who becomes a difference maker Contender 1: Matt Shaw, Cubs – Shaw doesn't have the same dynamic as Merrill did last year because there aren't several other rookies being hyped ahead of him in drafts but there's still something there in his current 213.4 ADP in February Shaw isn't guaranteed a spot in the Cubs Opening Day lineup it seems like it will be because he failed to take advantage of the opportunity He hit .284/.379/.488 in 121 games across Double-A and Triple-A last season and has 20-20 upside even as a rookie His price should rise if and when it looks like he's locked up a roster spot Eldridge is a long shot to make the roster we probably said the same thing about Merrill last February Rushing might need an injury to Smith to really have a chance but catchers do tend to get injured pretty frequently especially as they enter their 30s – and for no reason at all I will point out that Smith turns 30 before the end of March The hyped breakout candidate hitter who breaks everyone's hearts instead Contender 1: Wyatt Langford, Rangers – I wrote about Langford's constantly increasing price last week I mostly believe in the talent here – it's a well-rounded skill set with very few obvious weaknesses even in a rookie season where he was largely disappointed But we also only have one month on record of Langford actually being worth the borderline third-round cost he's carrying lately Jones was good for most of the 2023 season Contender 2: Lawrence Butler, Athletics – Butler feels like the truest analogue to Jones among this year's player pool Jones was a more well-regarded prospect and generally produced better in the minors but Butler's plate discipline profile carries significantly fewer red flags so we'll call it something close to even here we have significantly less than a full season of excellent play to point to along with the hope of true five-category production if all goes right My biggest worry with Butler: His breakout was mostly isolated to a huge July and August as he hit just .268/.344/.304 in September My other big worry: His Adp is up to 64.4 in February Westburg has 30-20 upside in a great lineup but if his free-swinging ways get exploited Channelsreels-519172Reelsarrow-expand-519173Seth Lugo snags the sharp linerTwins @ RoyalsApril 9 2025 |
