FACTS/FLUKES: Bellinger, D. Smith, Hosmer, Senzatela, Toussaint

Bellinger off to a sluggish start … 2019 was a dream season for Cody Bellinger (1B/OF, LA) as he batted .305 with 47 HR and 15 SB en route to the NL MVP award. Though he has launched 5 HR in his first 101 AB of 2020, they have come with a measly .178 BA. What’s going on?
