I’ll post the early Top 120 using the TiltValue formula — remember these numbers are nowhere near normalized, but it’s a glimpse into seeing how most starters performed after 1 or 2 starts. It’s good to get yourself familiarized with a lot of these lesser-heralded names because they will be staples in future iterations and just might be your next breakout arms or pop-up prospects. This will start getting a whole lot more fun the deeper we get into the season and we have 4-5 starts minimum for each SP. The entire leaderboard will be for paid subscribers only in-season, but I will post the top 10 here and the early top 120 below. Future iterations will have more than 500-700 names once pitchers accrue more innings:

It’s no surprise to see some of these names at the top given how well they did in their first starts — in Skenes’ case, two starts.
Here are the top 120:
