FACTS/FLUKES: Machado, Kimbrel, Hosmer, T. Walker, J. Rojas

Machado’s BA and HR lagging a bit … Manny Machado (3B, SD) amassed an impressive .304/.370/.580 line with 16 HR and 6 SB in just 224 AB during the shortened 2020 season. While a continuation of that pace wasn’t likely, his 2021 production hasn’t quite lived up to expectations. How are the underlying skills?
