We’re still at a stage in the season where conclusions about many players should not be drawn too hastily. Twenty-five games represent a limited sampling – equating to barely 11 plate appearances for hitters or five starts for many pitchers. Baseball’s true character typically reveals itself only after hundreds of games. However, this is the time to reevaluate some opinions, as players can indeed evolve, and early-season performances may signal real, sustainable talent.

Max Meyer, SP, Marlins

Meyer’s recent uptick in velocity, post-surgery, suggests a significant improvement. After struggling last season with his fastball, he’s diversified his pitch arsenal with a better changeup and a newly introduced sinker that aids against right-handed batters. His slider remains dominant with an impressive whiff rate.

Kristian Campbell, 2B, Red Sox

Despite concerns stemming from Spring Training, Campbell has made his presence felt in the major leagues with composure at the plate. While his current stats reflect modest power potential, his disciplined batting approach indicates he could evolve into a reliable hitter.

As the season progresses, monitoring these players could yield fruitful returns for fantasy teams.
