FACTS/FLUKES: Bieber, S. Brown, Gibson, Baddoo, Ca. Hernández

The strikeouts have disappeared but never say never... Shane Bieber (RHP, CLE) has a 3.72 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, 16.9% K%, and 6.7% BB% in 75 innings. Bieber's strikeout rate fell to a career-low, but do his skills indicate a bounce back in the strikeouts?
