The MLB Star Power Index for the week has been released, and there are some interesting developments to take note of. This includes a response from Dodger Stadium security regarding a proposed fan ban, and the discovery of a secret left-hander in the San Francisco Giants’ lineup.
Dodger Stadium Security Responds to Fan Ban Proposal
Last week, in the wake of a vicious beating of a fan in the stadium parking lot, a proposal was made to ban fans from attending games at Dodger Stadium. The proposal, which came from a local politician, suggested that the Dodgers play the remainder of the season without fans in attendance.
This idea was met with mixed reactions from fans and the team itself. Some felt that it was an appropriate response to the violence, while others argued that it punished the majority of law-abiding fans who should not be denied the opportunity to enjoy America’s pastime.
In response to the proposal, Dodger Stadium security issued a statement, saying that they are “committed to ensuring the safety and security of our fans, players, and staff at all times.” They also stated that they are implementing measures to increase security, such as adding more police officers, expanding surveillance, and increasing the number of metal detectors at stadium entrances.
The statement also acknowledged that while they cannot prevent all incidents from occurring, they are committed to taking swift action to address any incidents that occur.
Logan Webb: The Secret Left-Hander
In San Francisco, an unexpected star has emerged in the form of Logan Webb, a 24-year-old pitcher. Webb has been quietly making a name for himself this season, and his impressive performances, particularly against the Los Angeles Dodgers, have caught the attention of fans and analysts alike.
What is even more surprising about Webb, however, is that he is a secret left-hander. Despite being drafted as a right-handed pitcher, Webb started throwing with his left hand at a young age, a decision he made because he was more comfortable with his left arm.
As a result, Webb has developed a unique throwing style that combines elements of both right and left-handed pitching. This has proven to be a challenge for opposing batters, who have struggled to read his delivery.
Webb’s performance this season has been particularly impressive given the challenges he has faced, including a suspension for violating the league’s drug policy and a stint on the injured list due to a shoulder injury.
Looking ahead, it will be interesting to see how Logan Webb continues to develop and whether he will continue to surprise batters with his secret left-handed pitching style.
