## Resource

Wins Above Fantasy – Van Burnett (@Van_Verified) and Steve Gesuele (@stav8818) look at early-season meaningful hitter changes, focusing on metrics that stabilize quickly like chase and swinging strike rate. They highlight hitters improving contact without sacrificing power, plus a second group showing bat speed gains with stable or improved swing decisions, identifying potential breakouts, buy-lows, and profile changes heading into the heart of the season.
