I figured out how to make highlight reel videos on the MLB website!! This is the first one I ever made, it's a collection of really good highlights from the past few days:

Some notes:
- Ryan Helsley of the Cardinals saved a one-run game with an immaculate inning, that's the highlight of him throwing gas about halfway through the video.
- I included the highlight of the Joey Meneses inside the park home run for the Nationals because it looks like the whole play is literally in slow motion. Haha the outfielder is just jogging way too slowly after the ball and keeps looking up to watch the runner, looking almost like he's waiting long enough to get the ball in order to let Meneses get all the way around, and Meneses is really chugging it around the bases.
- Hunter Greene in the highlight near the end of the video made a masterful return from injury, looking again like he was at the start of the season. He went 6 scoreless innings with 0 BB and 11 strikeouts, 9 of them coming on pitches 100+ mph, the most ever recorded in a game in the pitch-tracking era (since 2008), and he threw 47 total pitches 100+ mph, obliterating his own record of 39 that he set in his second career start in the majors earlier this year. He also threw 30 pitches 101+, breaking that record too, and 8 of his 9 strikeouts that were 100+ were also 101+, absolutely smashing that record. In the pitch-tracking era, no other pitcher has thrown more than 3 101+ mph strikeouts in the same game!!

That one features a lot of rookies making spectacular plays, and finishes on a trio of Mookie Betts magical highlights that came in back-to-back games. I also made this one:

That one finishes on a trio of Cubs pieces of defensive wizardry that all came in the same game in a win over the Mets.
From September 5 to September 14, Julio Rodriguez had a run of repeated top highlights. It finished on him becoming only the third rookie in history to have a 25 HR/25 SB season with his 25th stolen base on September 14, which came only a couple days after his 24th and 25th home runs and the same game he hit home run #26. I made a highlight video of the Julio Rodriguez plays:

C.J. Abrams is a rookie shortstop for the Nationals who they got in the Juan Soto trade. I posted about him in my second blog post on here after he absolutely exploded the other weekend with a bunch of ridiculous defensive plays. I put all those plays together in a highlight video:

The Guardians vs. Twins recent five game series over the weekend was extremely dramatic and full of really good highlights. The Guardians won 4 of the 5 in a critical clash at the top of the AL Central that opened up a wider lead for the Guardians and effectively eliminated the Twins from contention for winning the division. They are now 8.0 games back of first place in the Central and the White Sox are 5.0 back. Those games came in the middle of a 9 game stretch of games for the Guardians vs. only the White Sox and Twins that was always going to decide the season, the Guardians have now gone 5-2 in those games and have 2 left, both vs. the White Sox.
I made a highlight reel video of the top plays from the Guardians Twins series:

The video includes the Guardians walking it off in the 15th inning in the second game of a doubleheader on Saturday. Amed Rosario got 4 hits in each of the two games of the doubleheader, becoming only the third player in the divisional era (since 1969) to have 4+ hits in both games of a doubleheader. He ended up getting the walk-off knock.
Finally, I made a highlight video of the Orioles top plays from the last few games. There was a lot of amazing stuff in the middle of this playoff push for the Orioles, even more Orioles magic. The highlight reel ends with the Orioles' desperately needed big comeback vs. the Blue Jays on Sunday:
