From those at the top of the MLB power rankings to those at the bottom, every team has reasons for hope and concern in 2024. Left-handed starters MacKenzie Gore (3.19 ERA in six starts) and Mitchell Parker (2.53 ERA, four starts) look like they’re primed for breakout campaigns. Willy Adames, an impending free agent, is also off to a fast start, hitting .278with six home runs. Jurickson Profar is off to a surprisingly strong start, hitting .342 with a .954 OPS in 111 at-bats. Adley Rutschman, the best overall catcher in the sport, is off to a fast start, hitting .310.
