Opening month has come and gone once again, so let's take a look at the results after April 1939:

Not surprisingly, San Luis is at the top of the table once again. Current Atlatl Award winner and Thrower of the Month for April, Roberto Mestre, has been even better for them so far and is currently on a 14 scoreless inning streak as well as a 19 game quality start streak. Max "El Emperador" Braud, who also plays for San Luis, won the Hitter of the Month. Also without surprise, León and Puebla are chasing San Luis but haven't found consistency to begin the season. The season has only begun, so let's hope for some exciting ball games the rest of the way!

In other news, San Luis' Luis Cruz pitched the league's 2nd no-hitter! In what was the first start of his season, as well as his first start with San Luis, Cruz held Jaguares de México to a total of zero hits and zero runs. With an ample arsenal that includes 6 pitches, Cruz kept hitters on their toes all game. Only two Jaguars managed to get on base: Efraín Armenta in the 1st and José López in the 5th, both were walked. Despite only striking out 5 players, it was an easy day for the defense as Cruz got a lot of weak groundballs, the hardest of them coming from Antonio Sánchez, but star shortstop Rogelio Herrán easily disposed of it. Cruz has taken to San Luis and is on pace for a successful first season in the City of the Three Cultures.

As usual, here's the breakdown:

Tunas de San Luis
There's not much that can be said about the best team in the league that hasn't been said before, their rotation has been excellent and is 1st in runs allowed while their reinforced lineup is 2nd in runs scored. Their pitching has been immaculate and their hitting is as solid as usual, I dare to say that if they keep this pace up, it might be their easiest title win to date.

Best hitters:
2B Max Braud - .341/.413/.439, 5 2B, 1 HR, 6 RBI, 1 SB, Hitter of the Month
RF Salvador Velázquez - .310/.376/.452, 5 2B, 2 3B, 1 HR, 12 RBI, 1 SB
3B Carlos Renderos - .333/.378/.405, 2 2B, 2 3B, 4 RBI, 1 SB

Rotation:
RHP Roberto Mestre - 5-1, 0.65 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, 11.5 K%, Pitcher of the Month
RHP Francisco Barajas - 4-0, 1.54 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, 13.3 K%
LHP Francisco Camacho - 1-2, 2.20 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, 10.6 K%
RHP Luis Cruz - 4-1, 2.37 ERA, 0.92 WHIP, 10.6 K%

Flechas de León
Pitching is carrying León into second place, as they are also second in runs allowed. Hitting hasn't been good at all and the Arrows are 7th in runs scored. Outfield stars Andrés Suárez and Victor Barrios are having even worse seasons than last year, but lucky for them, players like Ehecatl Cocom, Juan Negrete and Francisco Escamilla are picking up the slack just enough to keep the team in contention.

Best hitters:
1B Francisco Escamilla - .313/.365/.463, 4 2B, 2 HR, 10 RBI, 1 SB
CF Juan Negrete - .310/.368/.437, 6 2B, 1 3B, 1 HR, 6 RBI, 7 SB
2B Ehécatl Cocom - .308/.357/.354, 1 HR, 6 RBI

Rotation:
RHP Juan González - 5-1, 1.04 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, 17.9 K%
LHP Alejandro Carranza - 4-2, 1.69 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, 11.2 K%
LHP Jonathan Estrada - 2-2, 2.21 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, 11.7 K%
LHP Adalberto Dondiego - 0-0, 2.70 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, 9.2 K%

Serpientes de Puebla
Puebla's offense has been the best in the league by far, leading all categories but stolen bases. Their run prevention is above average overall even if their ERAs are not the best. Finding consistency in pitching will be key if Puebla are to mount a serious title challenge.

Best hitters:
2B Fernando del Toro - .317/.378/.416, 5 2B, 1 HR, 11 RBI
3B Daniel Rivera - .236/.421/.361, 3 2B, 2 HR, 9 RBI
CF Jorge Ramírez - .297/.340/.374, 5 2B, 1 3B, 7 RBI, 9 SB

Rotation:
LHP José García - 2-3, 2.14 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, 6.4 K%
RHP Antonio Aguilar - 3-3, 2.12 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, 9.6 K%
RHP Victor Villarroel - 3-1, 2.14 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, 18.9 K%
RHP Rafael Sianez - 1-0, 3.65 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, 9.3 K%

Jaguares de México
The Jaguars have been below average on all fronts, with new signing Eulalio Garza the biggest highlight on the team. Their all-new bullpen has been lights out, though improvements to the current rotation will be key for competing.

Best hitters:
3B Rico Santistevan - .296/.387/.358, 2 2B, 1 HR, 9 RBI, 1 SB
RF Ulises Dueñas - .300/.362/.367, 1 2B, 1 HR, 11 RBI, 2 SB
C José López - .281/.329/.375, 2 2B, 2 3B, 5 RBI

Rotation:
RHP Eulalio Garza - 3-1, 1.12 ERA, 0.91 WHIP, 19.4 K%
RHP Ángel Urquidi - 3-2, 2.15 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, 7 K%
RHP David Garza - 1-3, 4.34 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, 8.5 K%
LHP Luis Helguera - 1-3, 4.31 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, 6.3 K%

Aulladores de Mérida
Despite early pessimism, the Monkeys find themselves in the middle of the pack. They are slightly above average in several categories, but will need to kick into a higher gear if they want more out of this season.

Best hitters:
SS Antonio Monterrosa - .300/.356/.450, 6 2B, 2 HR, 9 RBI
RF Edwin Esparza - .329/.386/.408, 3 2B, 1 HR, 6 RBI
C Roberto Cruz - .274/.338/.306, 2 2B, 1 RBI, 1 SB

Rotation:
RHP Jesús Pérez - 2-3, 2.60 ERA, 1.36 WHIP, 14.9 K%
LHP Roberto García - 1-4, 4.10 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, 8.9 K%
RHP David Venegas - 2-2, 5.16 ERA, 1.72 WHIP, 9.3 K%
RHP Felipe Martínez - 3-1, 3.41 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, 10.6 K%

Obsidianas de Guadalajara
Once contenders, Guadalajara now find themselves near the bottom of the table. Their pitching has imploded, and they are last in runs allowed with only Carlos Casillas having a noteworthy season. On the hitting side, they're 3rd in runs scored and Ricardo Solorio seems to be another early candidate for the batting title.

Best hitters:
SS Ricardo Solorio - .361/.376/.470, 7 2B, 1 3B, 7 RBI
LF Oscar Valladolid - .303/.343/.379, 2 2B, 1 HR, 8 RBI, 1 SB
3B Oscar Torres - .264/.329/.361, 4 2B, 1 HR, 8 RBI

Rotation:
RHP Jacinto Santos - 2-4, 3.38 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, 15.4 K%
LHP Carlos Casillas - 3-0, 1.55 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, 10.1 K%
RHP Faustino Campos - 1-3, 3.26 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, 14.4 K%
RHP Hermenegildo Lomas - 1-1, 4.70 ERA, 1.52 WHIP, 12 K%

Águilas de México
Despite average pitching, the Eagles' offense is the worst in almost every rubric. With free agency coming, it seems like their best strategy is to just play out this season and then invest in the offseason.

Best hitters:
C José Canto - .243/.303/.314, 1 3B, 1 HR, 3 RBI
RF Luis García - .257/.297/.300, 1 HR, 5 RBI
3B David Herrera - .239/.280/.307, 3 2B, 1 HR, 7 RBI

Rotation:
RHP Ezequiel Anguiano - 0-3, 2.40 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, 11.6 K%
LHP Andrés Amaya - 2-2, 1.53 ERA, 0.99 WHIP, 8.8 K%
RHP Antonio Castañeda - 3-3, 1.21 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, 9.5 K%
LHP Leo Álvarez - 0-2, 2.59 ERA, 1.47 WHIP, 13.5 K%

Jaibas de Tampico
The northeastern club find themselves in the middle of another terrible season. They can dream about getting some big signings this offseason, but with the smallest budget and market that might not be possible and the losing seasons could go on indefinitely.

Best hitters:
LF Ricardo Palacios - .303/.376/.461, 3 3B, 2 HR, 8 RBI, 4 SB
2B Mario Abeyta - .246/.329/.308, 1 2B, 1 HR, 6 RBI, 3 SB
RF Carlos Torres - .277/.309/.323, 3 2B, 6 RBI

Rotation:
RHP Israel Pastrana - 2-2, 2.54 ERA, 0.91 WHIP, 16.9 K%
RHP César Plascencia - 0-5, 5.01 ERA, 1.41 WHIP, 10.7 K%
LHP Miguel Zúñiga - 2-2, 3.00 ERA, 1.42 WHIP, 9.7 K%
RHP Zenón Sandoval - 1-2, 3.76 ERA, 1.37 WHIP, 8.8 K%
