FACTS/FLUKES: Mondesi, W. Calhoun, Mikolas, Bader, Turnbull

Mondesi continues to mix upside with risk... 2020 was a tale of two seasons for Adalberto Mondesi (SS, KC), as he posted a .434 OPS through July and August, only to hit .356/.408/.667 with 6 HR and 16 SB in the month of September. Looking at his overall skills, where does that place 2020 in the context of his still-young career?
