What calendar day do these numbers cover?

Monday, March 30, 2026. Points are **AthX fantasy points** for that calendar day from **AthX Engine** daily tracking, not ESPN or Yahoo scoring.

Are these the same numbers as share price?

No. Daily fantasy points summarize box score results under AthX rules. Share price follows [dynamic pricing](/blog/dynamic-pricing-explained) with trading volume, supply and demand, and platform rules.

Where do the stats come from?

From **daily_player_stats** in AthX Engine—the same pipeline as in-app leaderboards. For season-long context, see [how AthX MLB season projections work](/blog/how-athx-mlb-season-projections-work-2026).

Pitchers and hitters earn points on different kinds of production. We publish **top 5 pitchers** (SP/RP/P) and **top 5 hitters** (all other positions) so the story matches how AthX Engine scores each role.

Cabrera & Roupp at 25 FP & AthX Top 5 Hitters and Pitchers (March 30, 2026)

Quick takeaway

Monday, March 30, 2026 stacked Edward Cabrera and Landen Roupp at 25 AthX fantasy points apiece—co-leaders among pitchers. Jose Altuve paced hitters at 17 after a two-homer afternoon in Houston. This post splits five arms and five bats so roles stay separate on the ladder.

How we built these leaderboards

We ranked pitchers (positions SP, RP, P) and hitters (everyone else) separately against daily_player_stats for March 30, 2026, then took the top five in each group. Not a rest-of-season projection. For trading context, see dynamic pricing and understanding dividends.

Why we publish separate pitcher and hitter tables is explained once in the March 26 Top 10 post.

Why it stacks: A perfect night—two long balls plus four runs scored—is exactly the kind of multi-counting line AthX Engine rewards on the hitter side.

T-2. Miguel Vargas (White Sox) and Corbin Carroll (Diamondbacks) — 13 FP each

Vargas: Grand slam and 6 RBI on the road in Miami—one swing cleared the bases and drove a crooked inning for Chicago (box).

Carroll: 2-for-4 with an RBI triple in the first, then a three-run homer (403 feet to right-center) in the second—4 RBI, 2 R in the D-backs’ home opener (recap).

4–5. Ezequiel Tovar (Rockies) and Kyle Isbel (Royals) — 11 and 10 FP

Tovar: 11 FP from the middle infield on Colorado’s road night in Toronto—run production in a Rockies–Blue Jays box that had traffic on the bases (box).

Hitters — clear lead (17 FP): Altuve stood alone after a 4-for-4, two-homer night.

Hitters — chase pack (13–10 FP): Vargas and Carroll tied at 13; Tovar (11) and Isbel (10) filled out the board behind him.

What this means if you use AthX

Daily fantasy points tell you who won the box score under AthX Engine rules for one day. They do not replace season projections, and they do not predict the next session’s price. They do help you line up what you watched with what the platform stored.

If you trade shares, treat this as context, then layer dynamic pricing and your own read on matchups and health.
