MLB Daily Notes - June 25th
A daily automated report of what happened yesterday in Major League Baseball, along with other recent trends and further analysis.

You don’t need me though, all the sheets and dashboards and resources we have out now get you everything you need, so peruse through there and comment in the chat with any questions you have about anything.
