Each week I break down the top fantasy players at each position in MLB. With the month of April basically in the books, these 20 outfielders stepped up their game in the final week -- or so -- of the month in order to make the list.

Some of the guys on this list are on here strictly for batting average while others have put together a complete week of work. Check out the top 20 outfielders from week four.

Torii Hunter is getting closer and closer to retirement, but his numbers seem to be as constant as any veteran's in baseball today.

Week 4 Stats: .455 AVG, 0 HR, 2 RBI, 4 Runs, .455 OBP

7. Dayan Viciedo, Chicago White Sox

Dayan Viciedo is part of a red-hot Chicago White Sox offense. No wonder he's on this list.

Week 4 Stats: .462 AVG, 0 HR, 1 RBI, 5 Runs, .517 OBP

As the better hitter of the Upton brothers, Justin Upton is off to a hot start for the second season in a row. It's time for B.J. Upton to take notes from his bro.

Week 4 Stats: .368 AVG, 2 HR, 4 RBI, 2 Runs, 1 SB, .429 OBP

5. Nelson Cruz, Baltimore Orioles

Nelson Cruz showed off some serious power in week four and fantasy owners, like myself, were very happy they took a chance on the slugger.

Week 4 Stats: .296 AVG, 4 HR, 13 RBI, 8 Runs, .406 OBP

4. Rajai Davis, Detroit Tigers

The Tigers made a huge upgrade in left field with the addition of Rajai Davis. He's quick on the base paths and he's shown a little bit of extra base power as well.

Week 4 Stats: .476 AVG, 1 HR, 4 RBI, 3 Runs, 2 SB, .500 OBP

3. Charlie Blackmon, Colorado Rockies

Charlie Blackmon has been a regular on my weekly top outfielders list. The young slugger came out of nowhere and has taken the National League by storm. Half of Blackmon's hits in week four landed outside the park.

Week 4 Stats: .389 AVG, 3 HR, 6 RBI, 9 Runs, 2 SB, .500 OBP

2. Hunter Pence, San Francisco Giants

This is the first time Pence has made my list of top outfielders this season and the Giants are hoping he can step up his game even more.

Week 4 Stats: .478 AVG, 1 HR, 5 RBI, 5 Runs, .538 OBP

McCutchen's MVP campaign is off to a solid start and his week four performance should earn him some player of the week awards.

Week 4 Stats: .417 AVG, 3 HR, 4 RBI, 5 Runs, .533 OBP
