After the latest UZR update, Cody Bellinger's March/April WAR is, for now, the highest on record in a calendar "month" at FanGraphs, back to 2002:Bellinger, Apr '19: 3.24Berkman, May '08: 3.12Winn, Sept '05: 3.02Bonds, Aug '02: 3.00Bonds, Apr '04: 2.83Trout, July '12: 2.83— Ben Lindbergh (@BenLindbergh) May 2, 2019

Hell of a cherry pick, kudos:
Dodgers March/April 2019 # of games: 32Astros May 2008 # of games: 28Giants August 2002 # of games: 26Giants April 2004 # of games: 24Giants September/October* 2005 # of games: 30Angels July 2012 # of games: 26
*2 games in Oct: wow cool, another arbitrary "month" not disclosed in cherry-picked stat category
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Friday, 3 May 2019 16:23 (seven years ago)
Doing some maths 4U:
WAR/# available games to play per "month"
Bellinger '19: 3.24/32 = .10125Berkman '08: 3.12/28 = .11143Winn '05: 3.02/30 = .10067Bonds '02: 3.00/26 = .11538Bonds '04: 2.83/24 = .11792Trout '12: 2.83/26 = .10885
Bellinger probably falls out of the top 10/20?

lastella was a (very good) pinch-hitting specialist in the past, maybe something about being in that role made it harder to hit home runs?

la stella's launch angle is up a bit, but the biggest difference (apart from the homers) is that his strikeout rate is way down -- only 6 K in 101 PA coming into today. kinda weird. so yeah, maybe just getting regular playing time has set him free

how is he so good right now? going into last season i thought he was supposed to be middle of the rotation arm, but over his last 23 starts he's looked more like Greg Maddux.
