Chad (@ChadYoung) takes you through a list of hitters whose overall season wOBA is at least .020 points better or worse than what they have done since May 1. For some of these guys, a rough April is hiding a pretty solid season; for others, a great April (or even a great 10 days) is making an unimpressive season look good. Either way, you'll want to think twice about how you interpret the season-long lines from J.D. Martinez, Avisail Garcia, Ryan Mountcastle, and others.
