FACTS/FLUKES: Rizzo, Gordon, Urena, Vogt, Corbin
Jul 7 2017
What’s up with Rizzo’s BA? … Anthony Rizzo (1B, CHC) has been one of the most reliable players in MLB over the past three seasons, batting between .278 and .292 and averaging 32 HR per season from 2014-16. Through 304 AB in 2017, the power has been there (19 HR), but the .263 batting average is lower than we’re accustomed to seeing. Is there any reason to worry?
