The Mets are such a dumpster fire that I have to wait a day or two longer than everyone else for Conforto to be officially placed on the DL, during which time those extra roster spots have already been used to snatch up some players I was considering. Thanks, Mets.

Some teams are really frustrating about this. I'm 90% sure that Salazar is ultimately going on the DL, but he's not on it yet. smh
I've only been following baseball a few years, has a home run ever been hit off the first pitch of the season before?
You know, you'd think the rush of articles written about this already would say, but none do!
That said, I would guess not, since depending on how you decide to count, there's only around ~100 opportunities, and in many of those years home runs were much rarer.

Listening to the Cubs Marlins game now I think they just said that it has definitely happenned once before on opening day. But they're not sure whether that would have been THE opening pitch of that day. If that makes sense.
Yeah, they debuted it during the end of last season, I think. Super weird that it happened mid-season, but I think with baseball and roto in particular there's just way fewer people checking in on that near the end of the year, so maybe they saw it as a good low-stakes test period.
There's some things about it that aren't very good or intuitive, but it's a net improvement.
