FanGraphs Audio: Joon Lee and Jeff Levering Talk Stardom

Episode 922

This week on the show, we talk about superstars, unknown stars, and no-hitters. Lots of no-hitters.

To begin the program, David Laurila welcomes Joon Lee, writer for ESPN, and Jeff Levering, broadcaster for the Milwaukee Brewers. David, Joon, and Jeff discuss how we react to stars from different media markets and how today’s baseball icons are not quite the same as those from the past. The trio also covers the concept of ties, how to reach different age groups of fans, all the recent no-hitters, and how Shohei Ohtani should be an even bigger name. [2:37]
Following that, Tony Wolfe and Sara Sanchez dive deeper into the early season’s wave of no-nos. Sara recently wrote about the historical significance of these performances, while Tony covered Wade Miley’s effort for the Reds. The pair contemplate a number of factors that could be contributing to this phenomenon, the possibility that the 2021 season sets a new record for no-hitters, and the concept of baseball suffering from too much of a good thing. [29:26]
