Weekly Hitter Rankings: Swinging at 2018

Written by

Updated on March 28, 2018 2:06PM EST

Last year, the hitting ranking evolved from user requests. This time, we're with you from Opening Day. That said, please realize initially, the numbers are based on expectations as we really won't have a feel for much of this for a few weeks, if not months.

For the thought process going into the rankings, please read this week's Z Files.

Good luck this season and remember, I'll gladly address all questions in the comments section all season.

Expect a new set of rankings Saturday for the Week April 2-8.

For the period, March 29 - April 1.
