FACTS/FLUKES: Lamb, Joseph, Swanson, Wacha, Holland
Jun 8 2017
Lamb rolling again ... Jake Lamb (3B, ARI) put together a monster first half in 2016, by batting .290 with 19 home runs. We noted in the Baseball Forecaster that a hand injury he sustained in July may have played a role in his second half fade, and he's back to crushing the ball in 2017. Can he keep it up this time?
