Teams Off to Hot Starts


Several teams have hit the ground running, setting the pace in their respective division:

  • Los Angeles Dodgers: After a 9-0 start, the Dodgers' unbeaten streak ended due to baserunning errors against the Phillies.

  • San Diego Padres: Boasting a 7-0 record, the Padres have surged in the early season in what is proving to be a hot division.

  • San Francisco Giants: With a 7-1 record going into Sunday 4/6 the Giants have came out of the gates playing their best ball.


Players' Hot Starts

  • Aaron Judge (New York Yankees): To start the season Judge has put up a .364 average with 17 RBIs and a league leading 6 homers.

  • Paul Skenes (Pittsburgh Pirates): Bosting a 1.46 ERA after his first 2 starts with his last going for 7 innings with no earned runs Skenes continues to show why he is worth the hype.

  • Wilyer Abreu (Boston Red Sox): Abreu has gotten off to a 11-22 start holding a league leading .500 adverage for a Boston team looking to make a run this year.


Fun Facts

  • Dodgers' Historic Start: The 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers hold the franchise's best season-opening record with a 10-0 start. The 2025 Dodgers aimed to match this but fell short with a 9-1 record after their first loss.

  • Aaron Judge's Milestone: Playing in his 1,000th career game, Judge's 321 home runs surpassed the record of 279 homers in a player's first 1,000 games by 42, previously held by Ryan Howard.
