JJ Wetherholt (2B - STL)
5/3/26 11:00 AM - Top 100 Hitters: May You Go Boldly. We’ve officially crossed the early-season threshold, and the chaos of April is giving way to something more meaningful but not necessarily more predictable. This is the part of the season where bold decisions start to separate contenders from pretenders. This year, the youth movement isn’t just knocking on the door, it’s kicking it down. Players like JJ Wetherholt and Kevin McGonigle aren’t waiting their turn. They’re impacting games right now, forcing their way into relevance. At the same time, the influx of international power has added another layer of volatility and opportunity. Munetaka Murakami and Kazuma Okamoto have wasted no time introducing themselves with authority. The raw power is translating, the adjustments are coming quickly, and the upside is loud. These are not passive additions to rosters as they are bats capable of shifting categories in a hurry. Now, as we move into May, something important is happening. Sample sizes are growing. Playing time is becoming more dependable. Pitchers and hitters alike are showing us who they are or at least who they are becoming. And with that clarity comes responsibility. This is the time to be aggressive. Our rankings reflect that mindset. You’ll see players pushed up ahead of consensus, veterans dropped more quickly than comfort might allow, and emerging talent given the benefit of belief rather than skepticism. Because waiting for full confirmation in this game often means you’re already too late. Championship teams don’t drift into contention but rather attack it. As the weather warms, so does the urgency. Lean into volatility. Trust the skills. Bet on impact. Let’s get bold.

The Pirates scored five runs in the inning without a hit.
