FACTS/FLUKES: Votto, Hamels, D. Peralta, B. Anderson, Alonso

Votto being Votto again ... After a lost 2014 season, Joey Votto (1B, CIN) is back to doing Joey Votto things—taking walks, getting on base, and hitting for some power. While his approach may hold him back in some formats, Votto's .277/.391/.484 slash shows that he's back on track to be one of the more productive hitters in the game.
