That's a breakout, folks, and we're seeing an early one in action with Yandy Díaz (1B/3B, TAM), whose 187 wRC+ ranks second-best in baseball and is a big reason why the 29-8 Tampa Bay Rays are dominating the league.
Fantasy teams are reaping the rewards too, as Díaz was an afterthought (274 ADP) in most leagues. Here's what the early surge looks like, in traditional Facts/Flukes form:
