Since returning to the United States, Eric Thames has become the king of April. He set the league on fire during his first month in uniform with the Milwaukee Brewers in 2017, batting an inconceivable .345/.466/.810 with 11 home runs on his way to a 31-homer, 125 wRC+ campaign. His bat was scorching hot out of the gates once again in 2018. He began the year by hitting .250/.351/.625 with seven dingers through his first 22 games. Then, in a game against the Royals on April 24th, Thames sustained an injury to his thumb while attempting a to make a play in the field.
