The skills of Corbin Burnes were the class of the game in April.

Solak showing improved power with subpar plate skills, Javier improves his SwK, Grandal could be dealing with an injury, Gibson rebounding from a disastrous 2020, and Mountcastle struggles to make contact

April breakouts can be hard to gauge, but we will look at some of the top pitching breakouts so far and see if they have the skills to maintain their success.

An ice-cold start for Luis Castillo; will he turn things around as the weather heats up?

Walker Buehler loses some velocity, but the skills are strong, Eugenio Suárez whiffs more in 2021, Eduardo Escobar slugs his way to a strong April, Sandy Alcantara increases his SwK and K%, and Keston Hiura struggles to make contact.

What should we make of Joey Gallo's poor start? How about Kenta Maeda, who has also struggled out the gate? Plus updates on Alex Colomé, Raisel Iglesias, and Mitch Haniger.

Carson Kelly's blistering start has been backed by an even bigger surge in his plate skills.

Heck, do anything, but don't cut healthy skilled players you liked last week! Two such players suddenly went from 20%+ ownership to near zero in a matter of days. Was that strategic thinking, or an exasperated overreaction?

Yermín Mercedes has had one of 2021's most headline-grabbing debuts—what do his skills tell us about his ability to keep it up all season? Plus, early analysis of Jonathan India, Justin Williams, Pavin Smith, and Taylor Trammell.

This has been quite an April for relievers. Here are relievers who put up a 200+ BPV, which even for one month, is notable.

Julio Urias owns an early elite combination of command sub-indicators that gives his skills even more upside.
