Assessing MLB Teams at the Start of the Season: Power Rankings and Analysis of Jack Leiter’s Debut

As the 2024 MLB season enters its third week, it is a great time for early season evaluations. Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman provide their thoughts on all thirty Major League Baseball teams, discussing whether they are feeling better, worse or the same compared to how they were before the season began.

The guys discuss the challenges faced by some teams, such as the Atlanta Braves and New York Yankees, who have lost their aces to injury. However, they are only feeling better about one of those teams. They also highlight the positive impact that Mike Trout has had on the Los Angeles Angels and Jackson Chourio on the Milwaukee Brewers. On the other hand, they are now down on the Los Angeles Dodgers and even more so on the Chicago White Sox.

Later in the episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake and Jordan discuss the much-anticipated debut of Jack Leiter, the 2nd overall pick of the 2021 Major League Baseball Draft. They also cover discussions on the AL East, AL Central, AL West, NL East, NL Central and NL West. Viewers can subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast and follow them on X at @CespedesBBQ.
