FACTS/FLUKES: Hamilton, H. Perez, Ross, Rodney, A. Garcia

Hamilton makes intriguing gains … The .260 batting average posted by Billy Hamilton (OF, CIN) in 2016 was a career best. He also managed to swipe 58 bases in just 411 AB, giving him a grand total of 115 stolen bases over the past two seasons despite appearing in fewer than 120 games in either year. Is there reason to believe even brighter days could lie ahead?
