How do you go to MLB star players during the first regular season? Here we review it.
This week will conclude the first full month of the Major Leagues (MLB) season and all the teams will pass the 30 games held, which represents about 20 percent of the total calendar. Using the list of the 100 best MLB players for the 2025 season, which we publish at the beginning of the campaign, we will review how April has been for the most outstanding stars in the industry.
Shohei Ohtani, Los Angeles Dodgers: The three times more valuable player has had a very good performance, acting in 26 of the first 28 games of the World Series champions.

In his last work session, Ohtani, who recovers from a second elbow operation, made 31 launches. Although physically is enabled to debut as pitcher in June, Dodgers are in no hurry to raise it to the box in official games in the first half of the season.
Bobby Witt Jr., Kansas City Royals: After a slow start (.244/.701 AVE/OPS) In the first 10 games, the sensational torpedo of the Royals turned on the engines and is currently involved in a 19 games streak with hit, during which bats .357 (70-25) with 10 extrabases.
Witt Jr. Batea .315 with 12 doubles, two home runs, eight robberies, 18 scored and .858 of PAHO, which places him on the right path of playing the most valuable player award in the American League.
Mookie Betts, Los Angeles Dodgers: The super gardener turned into a torpedo has not had a great offensive start, but little by little it looks more comfortable in position six. Betts Batea .232 with seven extrabases, 16 scored and .722 of PAHO, but has 0.8 bwar and good numbers to defense.
The eight times all stars was the victim of a stomach virus that prevented him from playing in the inaugural clashes in Japan and, worse, led him to lose up to 25 pounds, an element that should not be underestimated.
Aaron Judge, New York Yankees: The most valuable double player (MVP) enjoys the best start of his great career in the big leagues, hitting .406, with eight home runs, 27 pushed races, 25 scored and the leadership leadership in PAHO, with a high 1.159.

Paul Skenes, Pittsburgh Pirates: After assaulting the major leagues, winning the rookie of the year and being third in the vote of the Cy Young award, although it only opened 23 games, in 2024, the right Paul Skenes has looked like a real star in its first six appearances of 2025.
Skenes has a 3-2 mark, effectiveness of 2.39 and 39 strikeouts in 37.2 inputs. In his last departure he felt nine and did not allow the Dodgers in Los Angeles to overcome the Japanese stellar Yoshinobu Yamamoto in great duel.

Zack Wheeler, Philadelphia Phillies: The Phillies star pitcher has had a typical pitcher starting that looks ready to fight the Cy Young award, again. Wheeler has a 2-1 mark, effectiveness of 3.62 and 50 strikeouts in 37.1 innings in six openings.
Two consecutive departures against the St. Louis Cardinals and the Atlanta Braves (April 8 and 13) in which it allowed nine races at 11.1 innings extraordinarily damaged the average Wheeler’s clean races, who only accepted six races in their other four openings.
Tarik Skubal, Detroit Tigers: Skubal began the defense of his Cy Young award of the American League last year allowing seven races in 10.2 entries in his first two departures of 2025, but then straightened to his real capacity.

Henderson Batea .220 with two home runs and his OPS of .634 is lower by 200 points he had in his first two seasons.

This season, Carroll has started as a thrombus, noting in the initial phase of the MVP race. The gardener beats .308 with nine homers, eight doubles, four triples, 25 scored, 23 pushed and OPS of 1,043.
Kyle Tucker, Chicago Cubs: In its last year of contract before being the best free agent available in the market, Tucker is in fire, batting .289 with eight doubles, seven home runs, 25 scored, 21 pushed and .976 of PAHO in their debut with the Cubs.
Ronald Acuna Jr., Atlanta Braves: The Venezuelan super gardener has not been able to play his first game of the year, while completing a strict rehabilitation protocol of a reconstruction surgery of the anterior cross ligament of the left knee he received in June 2024.
Acuña underwent tests in Los Angeles on April 14 and, according to manager Brian Snitker, doctors authorized to start a second condition of conditioning before starting playing in rehabilitation matches.
