I promise that I will get to more fun things than just Morning Stakes, I just need to limp towards the finish line that is the end of school, which is just a couple of weeks away.

Logah Hughes was named Big 12 Co-Player of the Week:
A potential first round pick in July’s MLB Draft, Hughes is now hitting .368 with 16 home runs and 68 RBIs. Hughes also has 15 doubles and a triple, meaning 32 of his 70 hits have gone for extra-bases. With just three games left in the regular season, Hughes is slashing .368/.496/.711.

At first I thought, I am not reading an article on Twitter/X and then I realized that it was Cody Alexander, who is one of the smarter writers out there about defense, and then I got towards the end and then goes to his website, which is largely behind a paywall. So you can read a portion or sign up and get the article for free and this is either terrific or a let-down.
