FACTS/FLUKES: Guerrero Jr, Kopech, Moncada, McKenzie, M. Chapman

Guerrero Jr. taking the next step?... Given a rare "10C" rating in 2019, former number-one prospect Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (1B, TOR) hasn't failed since making his MLB debut in 2019, but his .269/.336/.442 line with 24 HR over 757 PA coming into 2021 has fallen short of the lofty expectations that were tied to him coming out of MiLB. Still a Top 50 pick per NFBC, Guerrero Jr. has delivered 8 HR in 146 PA with a .322 BA and a 17% BB%. Has Guerrero Jr. finally turned the corner, or is this just a terrific small sample?
