Week one observations, 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:
