Keep or Kut - Chad (@chadyoung [https://twitter.com/chadyoung]) and Pete (@PeteBBaseball [https://twitter.com/PeteBBaseball]) break down some of the hot starts in the opening days of baseball, particularly players who have been hitting the ball hard. Timestamps 3:04 - Are homers up around baseball? 10:22 - Going over some of the hardest-hit balls of the (very) young season so far. We start off with Jordan Walker [https://pitcherlist.com/player/jordan-walker/]. 18:08 - Corbin Carroll [https://pitcherlist.com/player/corbin-carroll/] has a new max EV. Not much to do here, but worth noting. 20:15 - Eugenio Suárez [https://pitcherlist.com/player/eugenio-suarez/] had a monster season last year. Was it a mirage or is he just back to being a power stud? 25:55 - Ryan Mountcastle [https://pitcherlist.com/player/ryan-mountcastle/] has one of the hardest-hit balls this season. Breakout season incoming? 30:58 - Oneil Cruz [https://pitcherlist.com/player/oneil-cruz/] continues to hit the ball hard. Woopdiedoo. 31:20 - Seiya Suzuki [https://pitcherlist.com/player/seiya-suzuki/] hit a 112.9 MPH double off of Merrill Kelly [https://pitcherlist.com/player/merrill-kelly/]. 32:50 - Like Cruz, Kyle Schwarber [https://pitcherlist.com/player/kyle-schwarber/] also continues to pound the baseball. 34:00 - Derek Hill [https://pitcherlist.com/player/derek-hill/] hit a ball pretty hard! Alright! 36:28 - Randy Arozarena [https://pitcherlist.com/player/randy-arozarena/] hit a laser against the Athletics. We share our thoughts on him this season. 41:23 - Xander Bogaerts [https://pitcherlist.com/player/xander-bogaerts/] stunned a really hard-hit double. Is he in for a bounceback? 47:52 - Vladimir Guerrero [https://pitcherlist.com/player/vladimir-guerrero/] Jr., Fernando Tatis [https://pitcherlist.com/player/fernando-tatis/] Jr, and Aaron Judge [https://pitcherlist.com/player/aaron-judge/] are all still good… confirmed! 50:09 - Christian Walker [https://pitcherlist.com/player/christian-walker/] is healthy! And still hitting the ball hard! 51:37 - Tyler Soderstrom [https://pitcherlist.com/player/tyler-soderstrom/] is off to a hot start. He hit the ball really hard last year and is picking up where he left off. 55:23 - Will Jarren Duran [https://pitcherlist.com/player/jarren-duran/] be able to repeat what he did in 2024?
