F/F SPOTLIGHT: Jesse Winker

The 2021 season has featured a strong batting average and power from Jesse Winker (OF, CIN). During the offseason, the 2021 Baseball Forecaster noted that Winker's "xBA and consistently excellent bb% portend strong BA/OBP/HR mix, and projection still has room for upside." With his first double-digit R$ season in 2020, he has built on the power and increased his batting average, which has contributed to his $36 R$ through 269 plate appearances. 

Is this the breakout that we've been waiting for? First, let's make our way through a typical Facts/Flukes skills analysis.
