You don’t want your list to change too much from the pre-season, but you also have to respect the teams off to searing-hot starts. It’s a complicated balance, but today we will rank the 10 best teams in baseball through the first month of the 2025 season.

The 38th overall pick in the 2022 draft had a brutal pair of stints in the majors last season, posting a .521 OPS in 55 games played. It was a much different story after Beck was called up again in mid-April, going 8-for-19 with five home runs in his first six games back.

Behind those three emerging stars, there are a lot of arrow-up guys in the early going and good depth throughout the list, largely on the pitching side: Fitts, Valera, Early, Brandon Clarke and Payton Tolle have all impressed and I ran out of room to include them all.
