We just finished up with the Best Lineup for Hitters in April, and now we have to move onto pitchers. There have been a ton of surprises from pitchers, with some players you've never heard of playing out of their mind, while the usual greats are just playing average. Tune in to find out what pitchers have been the best in the month of April.

Max Fried (NYY)

Max Fried has been the best pitcher in baseball through the first month of the season, which is a huge surprise. I mean, Fried has always been an All-Star worthy pitcher, but he hasn't taken that leap that he has this season. In seven starts so far, Fried has a perfect 6-0 record, as well as a 1.01 ERA, a 0.94 WHIP, and a 39-11 K/BB ratio. These stats from Fried have been video game-esque, and he hasn't skipped a beat at all this season, with zero bad starts.

Hunter Brown (HOU)

Hunter Brown has been just as good as Fried this season, yet no one seems to be talking about him. In fact, there are still 5% of leagues in which he is not rostered in, which is just insane for how well he has played this season. Brown had a rocky first start, throwing six innings and giving up two earned runs in his first game. But since then, he has been electric, having a 5-1 record, a 49-10 K/BB ratio, a 1.67 ERA and a 0.88 WHIP on the season. If your league is one of the 5% that don't have him rostered, pick him up RIGHT NOW.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto (LAD)

Yoshibonu Yamamoto is the early favorite for the NL Cy Young, and it is very much deserved. He has posted a league leading 0.90 ERA, a 0.93 WHIP, with 49-13 K/BB ratio. Yamamoto has been excellent so far at carrying the injury-riddled Dodgers rotation. When it seems like every single Dodgers pitcher has been hurt this season, Yamamoto has stayed consistent, and has surged into the spot that everyone thought he was going to be in.

Andres Munoz (SEA)

Andres Munoz is the first reliever on this list and he has also been battling with Robert Suarez for the best reliever in baseball. The Mariners closer has been great this season and he hasn't given up a single earned run through the first month of the season. That is just incredible from Munoz, who also has a 0.75 WHIP and 20 strikeouts on the season. Munoz is second in the MLB in saves so far, with 12 saves in 16 appearances this season. Overall, Andres Munoz has been arguably the best closer in baseball this season, and has been just great for the Mariners.

Robert Suarez (SD)

Ironically enough, Robert Suarez is the fifth and final spot on our top pitchers of April list, and as mentioned before, he is battling for the best closer in baseball with Andres Munoz. Suarez has done almost as good as Munoz with giving up runs, as he only has one earned run given up this season. He also has 16 strikeouts on the season, with a 0.6 WHIP as well. He leads the league in saves, just barely edging out Munoz with 13 saves this season. I think that Suarez has just been a little bit better than Munoz this season, with the extra save and only one less earned run.
