MLB Reactions After An Awesome 1st Month

Way or No Way is back with a full MLB hitting and pitching stats edition, featuring some bold predictions that push the limits of what’s realistic this season. On the hitting side, we break down: Potential rookie record chases from Kevin McGonigle and Munetaka Murakami Mike Trout chasing a new career high in home runs Whether Aaron Judge can go 30-30 A possible Yordan Alvarez Triple Crown season And the case for Nico Hoerner reaching a 10 WAR year We also question if Bobby Witt Jr. and Fernando Tatis Jr. could fall short of expectations, and whether Nick Kurtz could lead the league in both walks and strikeouts. Then we flip to pitching, where the takes get even more aggressive: A 300-strikeout season from Dylan Cease or another ace Shohei Ohtani posting a sub-2.00 ERA Historic-level seasons from Jose Soriano Elite WHIP marks from Max Fried or Shota Imanaga And whether Mason Miller can reach a K/9 north of 20 We also introduce this week’s Sports Scantron, debating the most disappointing team in baseball so far, featuring the Mets, Royals, Phillies, Astros, and Red Sox. Plus, we give our MLB award picks through the first month of the season, including MVP, Cy Young, and Rookie of the Year in both leagues, along with our picks for best team, most surprising, and most disappointing. To close it out, we build our All-Underrated Team through Month 1, highlighting players across the league who deserve more attention for their early-season performance.
