Episode 100 of The Grounds Crew is loaded. The MLB put out their picks for the Top 10 Rotations in baseball and we think it was wildly off. Baseball Lifestyle 101 signed their first official athlete potential ROY Triston Mckenzie and Shohei Ohtani looks as legit as we said. Plus the Mets were practicing their World Series celebrations and social media was pissed.

Shohei Ohtani is back from Tommy John Surgery and looks fully healthy and ready to make a statement. So we had to ask the question, if he puts up numbers like his first few seasons at the plate (.285, 20+ HRs, .845 OPS) and posts a sub 3 ERA in 15+ starts, is that the greatest season of all time? What do you think?

For years the NBA and NFL have been captivating fans with their content on and off the field. With things like Hard Knocks, The Last Dance, and NFL Films people all over the world can really dive deep into the sport. The NBA and NFL also have the added assistance now as young players as old as 10 being part of their sports "next player up" style content so people become fans of these young players before they ever go pro. Exhibit A: Zion Williamson. Well, we think it's baseballs turn to make some changes and take the game to a new level. There is so much untapped potential. 

Tim Tebow retired from baseball last week and looking back on his career, should he really have ever been in the league at all? His stats were extremely average as well as his overall skill. His presence as a way to sell tickets took opportunities away from other guys who may have had a better chance at moving up in the system. What do you think? 

The new face of baseball Fernando Tatis Jr. just signed a massive deal to lock in his career with the Padres. 14 Years, $324 MIllion. We break it all down.
