The #BT40—The Box-Toppers 40 (#BT40) is made up of the 40 players on Box-Toppers’ four top 10 category lists—AL and NL pitchers and batters. The #BT40 are listed in the chart at the top of this page.

Dylan Cease of the White Sox rises to eighth place among AL pitchers with 6.7 points.

Taijuan Walker of the Mets rises to 10th place among NL pitchers with 6.7 points.
