In the Cactus League, the Chicago Cubs are making headlines with a perfect 2-0 record, showcasing their offensive prowess by outscoring opponents 19-7 in their first two games. The Colorado Rockies, Kansas City Royals, and San Diego Padres also secured wins in their opening matchups, indicating a competitive spring ahead.

In college baseball, Hawaii is dominating the Big West Conference with a flawless 5-0 record, while UC Davis and UC Santa Barbara follow closely with 3-1 records. The 2025 MLB Draft lottery has revealed the Washington Nationals will have the first overall pick, a significant development for the franchise.
