FACTS/FLUKES: Story, Hosmer, Winker, Mahle, Montgomery

Story makes substantial strides … Trevor Story (SS, COL) had a disappointing 2017, batting a pitiful .239 with 24 HR and 7 SB in 503 AB. There was some reason for concern heading into 2018 due to the high volume of strikeouts and low BA, but he has rebounded with an impressive first half, including a .289 BA, 18 HR and 12 SB. What’s behind the resurgent performance?
