Zion Williamson’s reign as the greatest high school dunker of all time didn’t last long
Zion Williamson had a good run as the greatest high school dunker of all time (To be fair, Vince Carter's high school days came long before the advent of YouTube and social media), but it's time to proclaim a new posterizing prodigy. And he's also got a catchy name.
RELATED: Zion Williamson was way too powerful for this golf club
Introducing Jimma Gatwech, a high school senior at Huntington Prep (W. Va.), who would be Zion's top (only?) competition if he were allowed to compete in this season's NBA Dunk Contest. Gatwech doesn't possess the raw power of Zion, but the 6-foot-4 guard is pulling off in-game dunks the likes of which we've never seen. Check out this incredible compilation, but focus on the final dunk, which needs to be shown from a few different angles to be fully appreciated:

Behold the dumbest MLB stat of the Statcast Era (minimum 19 innings)
Listen, we get it. Baseball is a “thinking man's” sport. It's a game for accountants and political forecasters—a safe space where folks raised on a steady diet of atomic wedgies can enjoy the crucible of athletics without risk of further trauma. The MLB even rebranded an entire epoch of their sport—the Statcast Era—to make it more lab coat-friendly. And for the most part it's worked. Other professional sports leagues have scrambled to find their own Sabermetrics and office water coolers Slack channels are still rife with mansplainers fighting over OPSs and WARs like alley cats. But sometimes, the MLB's emphasis on cold, calculated numbers goes just a little too far, as it did on Wednesday night when the broadcast for Rangers-Astros ran this absolute doozy:

Mike Yastrzemski, grandson of Red Sox legend Carl Yastrzemski, homered at Fenway Park because sports are undefeated
Kathryn RileyDespite their best efforts, the Boston Red Sox and San Francisco Giants are going nowhere this season. Neither team has been mathematically eliminated, but both are nine games out of the second wild card in their respective leagues, an impossible hill to climb with only 11 games to go. On Tuesday night at Fenway Park, the two legendary franchises met for game 1 of a meaningless three-game series.
But the beauty of sports is that a game like this one can still have plenty of meaning, and it can even produce one of the best moments of the baseball season. This game did just that when Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski, grandson of Red Sox legend Carl Yastrzemski, stepped to the plate in the top of the fourth inning. After working the count to 3-1, Mike got a fastball right down the pipe from Boston pitcher Nathan Eovaldi and took it deep to center. You couldn't have scripted it:
