FACTS/FLUKES: Scherzer, Belt, F. Reyes, Samardzija, Arcia

Scherzer keeps rolling along … 2018 was another terrific year for Max Scherzer (RHP, WAS), as he compiled a stellar 2.53 ERA and 0.91 WHIP in 221 IP. It was his sixth consecutive season of at least 200 IP, and he became just the sixth pitcher in MLB to record 300 strikeouts in a season. Is there any reason for concern heading into 2019?
