FACTS/FLUKES: Wheeler, Bryant, Pagan, O'Neill, T. Shaw

Is Wheeler going too high in drafts? … Zack Wheeler (RHP, PHI) exceeded expectations in his first year with the Phillies as he posted a career-best 2.92 ERA in 71 IP. He also demonstrated his toughness by completing at least 7 IP in two of his final three starts of the season after the fingernail from his right middle finger ripped off. He underwent October surgery to repair the fingernail (2nd time in his career), and reported to spring training without any restrictions. How are his skills heading into 2021?
