Week one observations, 2025
Apr 5 2025
It's easy to panic after your SP has a terrible start or two during the first week of the season. It can be similarly dangerous to fall in love with a pitcher who gives you good stats if they were produced without any underlying skill support.
Keeping in mind that we're dealing with tiny data samples, let's take a look at some extreme early season performances by focusing on the super early skills of starting pitchers.
Here are the way-too-early skills of starting pitchers with two starts so far in 2025:
| Name | Lg | K% | BB% | K-BB% | GB% | SwK% | FpK% | Ball% | BPV |
| Logan Gilbert | AL | 41% | 2% | 39% | 52% | 20.6% | 82% | 31% | 253 |
| Nathan Eovaldi | AL | 33% | 0% | 33% | 61% | 17.2% | 59% | 30% | 222 |
| MacKenzie Gore | NL | 41% | 5% | 36% | 23% | 14.9% | 73% | 32% | 222 |
| Zack Wheeler | NL | 41% | 5% | 36% | 44% | 16.8% | 64% | 35% | 209 |
| Yoshinobu Yamamoto | NL | 34% | 7% | 27% | 67% |
