FACTS/FLUKES: Yelich, Ray, Conforto, Minter, M. Kemp

Yelich unlikely to repeat… When we last checked in with Christian Yelich (OF, MIL), he had 11 HR in 318 AB, but he went on to an incredible run, slugging 25 HR in his next 256 AB to finish the season with a .326 BA, 36 HR and 22 SB. To put a finer point on his 2018 excellence, he set new career-highs in R, HR, RBI, BA, and SB on his way to the NL MVP award and a $47 R$ campaign. Can he sustain that level of performance?
