FACTS/FLUKES: Contreras, Quintana, DeJong, Maeda, Desmond

Contreras powers up … Willson Contreras (C, CHC) enjoyed a breakout season in 2017, batting .276 with 21 HR in 377 AB, but followed it with a disappointing 10 HR and .249 batting average in 474 AB a year ago. Things have gone much better through his first 83 AB of 2019, as he already has 8 HR to go along with a .301 batting average. Can he keep this pace?
