FACTS/ FLUKES: McCutchen, deGrom, Ozuna, Hendricks, Owings

McCutchen’s BA surprisingly low … Andrew McCutchen (OF, PIT) owns a lifetime .296 BA and hasn’t posted a BA below .286 in a given season since 2011, so his current .249 mark is eye-catching, even for the notorious slow-starter. On the positive side, he’s on pace to reach the 30 HR plateau for the second time in his career. What’s going on here?
